In the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

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 ...

C++ covers the whole programming range, from low level to high, making it ideally suited for writing portable software. Code portability is often neglected in embedded-systems engineering, however.

C remains the darling of embedded programmers, but C++ garners a sizable chunk. Using C++ features judiciously can result in code that’s as efficient or more efficient than a comparable C application.

Electronics Weekly has joined forces with Doulos to discuss the benefits of using C++ for your next Embedded Project. It’s a one-hour webinar taking place on Friday 2 March at 10-11am (GMT) (there’s ...

SDC Systems has launched the latest version of the RapiTime measurement and analysis tool. Called RapiTime 2.4, the tool is intended for use by engineers and managers responsible for timing analysis ...

C++ can deliver real benefits specifically for the implementation of embedded software, particularly when the concept of “encapsulation of expertise” is used. By employing this technique to take ...

IAR Systems has announced its IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 6.10, the latest version of its tool chain for embedded developers. The software has been designed to increase productivity for developers ...

Analytics-driven embedded systems bring analytics to embedded applications, moving many of the functions found in cloud-based, big-data analytics to the source of data. This allows for more efficient ...
