Is Clinging to C Holding Back Embedded? (Beningo.com)
While clinging to C may offer a sense of security and familiarity, it is essential to recognize the limitations this mindset imposes. Embracing modern programming languages can unlock new levels of safety, productivity, and innovation in embedded systems.
Is Bare-Metal Programming Dead? (DesignNews.com)
Bare-metal programming offers teams the knowledge of what their system is doing at the lowest levels and allows them to optimize and tune their systems into real-time hotrods that waste neither clock cycles nor energy.
Will AI Change How You Develop Embedded Software (In 2025)? (Embedded.com)
You can ignore it at the risk of falling behind and possibly even going out of business, or you can embrace it, use it where it makes sense, and leverage it to develop better embedded systems.

This masterclass provides a practical, hands-on deep dive into embedded software architecture, equipping engineers with the skills, patterns, and decision-making frameworks needed to build modern, modular, and resilient embedded systems.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence to design embedded architectures that scale—whether for IoT, industrial automation, robotics, or safety-critical applications.
We’ll explore essential topics such as:
-
Architectural design principles and characteristics
-
Design patterns for bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
-
Architecture diagrams like context, container, component, and class
-
Data-centric versus control-centric architectures
-
Architectural patterns like unitary, client/server, monolithic, microkernels, service-based, event-driven, orchestration, and microservices.
The workshop will be available on demand starting April 7th, 2025, with live Q&A sessions on the following dates:
-
April 9th, 2025 @ 11 EDT
-
April 16th, 2025 @ 11 EDT
