How can you cover all the bases for embedded systems security? This step-by-step guide takes you through best practices. Embedded systems security is an essential concern in the modern landscape.

Because the operating system controls the resources (e.g., memory, CPU) of the embedded system, it has the power to prevent unauthorized use of these resources. Conversely, if the operating system ...

Embedded systems are used in many things from cars to medical devices to home security systems and are becoming increasingly popular in our daily lives. They are becoming integral to our familiar ...

The availability of low-cost processing power plus ubiquitous connectivity have spurred the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the development of large-scale embedded applications that rely on ...

One of the biggest challenges in security today is how the software in our operating systems and applications are so full of holes. And while traditional software makers have made (some) headway in ...

The operating system has long played a critical role in embedded systems. A prime historical purpose of the operating system is to simplify the life of electronic product developers, freeing them to ...

We’ve explored each element in detail except for secure storage in the previous posts. Today’s post will dive deeper into secure storage and how it applies to embedded systems. Secure storage is often ...

Embedded control systems are increasingly connected to complex local area networks, such as controller area networks (CAN) with up to 100 nodes, ZigBee wireless control networks with thousands of ...

The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...
