Within a short time, embedded designers will face major challenges associated with embedded memory at or around the 45-nanometer technology node. Industry leaders have already declared that ...

I recently presented arguments for and against using dynamic memory allocation in C and C++ programs. 1 I do agree that truly safety-critical systems should avoid using dynamic allocation because the ...

Consumer embedded devices are becoming increasingly loaded with a range of diverse software applications and device drivers in response to end-user multitasking demands. The most apparent example of ...

Memory safety in C can be summed up in a few words: there isn’t any! C is the most popular programming language used to write applications for embedded systems, particularly microcontroller-based ...

Poor memory-management practices have been the cause of over 70% of the vulnerabilities found in today’s software. This can lead to a host of problems from programs that fail or degrade to providing ...

We just reported that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P100 series has been expanded with six additional SKUs, and, timed with that, ...

The Zephyr Project is an open-source project—an operating system that targets the low end of the Internet of Things (IoT). It can be run on small microcontrollers and higher-end ones alike. It also ...
