The 3 Stages in Secure Product Lifecycle Management
Nearly every embedded software developer working in the IoT space is now building secure devices. Developers have been mostly focused on how to handle secure applications and the basic microcontroller technologies such as how to use Arms TrustZone or leverage multicore processors. A looming problem that many companies and teams are overlooking is that figuring … Continue reading The 3 Stages in Secure Product Lifecycle Management
5 Tips for Designing a Smart Watchdog
Recovering from a system failure or a software glitch can be no easy task. The longer the fault occurs the harder it can be to identify and recover. The use of an external watchdog is an important and critical tool in the embedded systems engineer toolbox. There are five tips that should be taken into … Continue reading 5 Tips for Designing a Smart Watchdog
5 Reasons the new Arm Cortex-M55 will transform the IoT
Earlier this week, Arm announced a new Cortex-M processor that is going to revolutionize how embedded system developers build IoT devices, the Cortex-M55. The Cortex-M55 processor is building on the Armv8.1-M architecture to provide developers with more powerful features, combined with the ease of use of Cortex-M, will change how IoT devices are designed and … Continue reading 5 Reasons the new Arm Cortex-M55 will transform the IoT
5 Keys to Successfully Managing Legacy Code
I feel like there is always a big focus on developing new features, launching the next product or the next big thing, but once those things are successful there is an extraordinary challenge that teams face in managing their legacy code. Even the latest and greatest software at some point becomes legacy and it isn’t … Continue reading 5 Keys to Successfully Managing Legacy Code
5 Tips for Improving Embedded Development (in 2020)
The start of a new year, especially one that is the start of a new decade, provides a great excuse to carefully evaluate and review how you develop embedded systems and put in place a plan to improve it. The techniques and processes that are used to effectively develop products are constantly changing and improving, … Continue reading 5 Tips for Improving Embedded Development (in 2020)
2 Game Changing Trends that will Define Embedded Systems in the 2020’s
The last decade has seen an amazing advancement in embedded system development techniques, tools and technologies. A decade ago, I recall being amazed when a microcontroller had a clock speed above 48 MHz with an unbelievable 128 kilobytes for flash. Today, we now have microcontrollers with clock speeds above 1 GHz with more than 4 … Continue reading 2 Game Changing Trends that will Define Embedded Systems in the 2020’s
5 Tips for Modernizing Legacy Code
It’s always exciting to start on a new development project, but some of the most interesting and challenging projects to work on in embedded systems can often be how to modernize a legacy code base. There are so many products that are currently on the market that have been in production for years if not … Continue reading 5 Tips for Modernizing Legacy Code
5 Tips for using Open Source Software Successfully
In today’s product development environment, developers are looking to open source software to help them solve their design challenges more than ever before. Open source software has the potential to dramatically accelerate development and save costs, but as I often see in industry and with my clients, it can also become a thorn in a … Continue reading 5 Tips for using Open Source Software Successfully
Developing an Embedded Software Build Pipeline
One interesting fact that I’ve noticed about embedded software development is that development processes and techniques tend to lag the general software industry. When I first started to write embedded software back in the late 1990’s, the focus seemed to be on moving away from writing assembly language and adopting C along with the best … Continue reading Developing an Embedded Software Build Pipeline
