Virtualization has revolutionized IT by providing flexibility, convenience, and increased robustness of IT infrastructures. Virtualization has also helped software developers designing for standard ...

The first thing any embedded software developer does when they are told they get to work on a new project is ask for a development kit. A development kit allows the development team to get familiar ...

As we turn the page to 2025, it’s impossible not to reflect on the transformative trends of 2024. From the growing influence of AI to the rise of modern languages like Rust and the increasing focus on ...

Energy-driven computing is an emerging paradigm that aims to fuel the proliferation of tiny and low-cost IoT sensing and monitoring devices. Energy-driven computers are generally powered by energy ...

There’s something that kills coding speed—iteration time. If you can smash a function key and run your code, then watch it break, tweak, and smash it again—you’re working fast. But if you have to ...

Debugging embedded designs is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of observed and possible interactions between hardware and software continue to grow, and as more features are crammed into ...

As we covered last month, embedded motion control is operation-specific code targeted to microprocessors, FPGAs, and PLCs. As hardware becomes increasingly powerful, these controls do the same.

Mechatronics unites mechanical structures, electronic actuation and embedded computation into integrated systems capable of perception, decision‐making and physical interaction. Simulation and ...

Industrial simulation and emulation are powerful but still underemployed techniques for designing, developing, and testing better automation solutions and machines. When used as a central part of a ...

Silicon photonics is rewiring the future of data centers. But engineers need more advanced simulation tools to integrate these light-slinging components with electronics. How silicon photonics ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...
