Normal execution of a given software application is contained within the bounds of one program, or instruction stream. Such execution is provable, as well as traceable. However, system designers and ...

Nearly every embedded system uses interrupt service routines (ISRs). If you need to keep track of time, you likely have a timer interrupt that generates a system tick. If you have a USART, you’re ...

Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...

The open-source eCos (Embedded Configurable Operating System) is ideal for deeply embedded systems in which memory resources and real-time execution constraints are top design issues. The system ...
