Multicore microcontrollers Part 3: Are the available resources in the periphery sufficient?
After examining the project requirements regarding functional safety and data security, the final step focuses on the peripheral components. One pin, multiple peripheral functions: The sufficient number of pins is crucial, in addition to the available...
From C to Embedded-C: The goal determines the path
Of course, Embedded-C is also C. However, switching from C to Embedded-C means that the programmer must adapt their programming to the requirements of the specific embedded application. These requirements include, for example, real-time capability, low memory footprint, and high operational reliability.
Fully agile, or only half: Agile values, principles and methods in traditional development
Embedded software in current projects is mostly developed using an agile approach of some sort. The biggest hurdles to truly agile development are primarily security requirements, existing system processes based on the V-Model XT, the difficult-to-assess risk of transitioning to a new development process, and above all, the process itself...
Safety and security in multicore systems: How to successfully implement them
The demands placed on safety-related control systems are constantly increasing. Multicore architectures are best suited to meet these demands and are therefore being offered and used more frequently. Safety standards are defined in different industries according to the potential hazards...
Multicore Microcontrollers Part 1: How Project Resources Determine the Right Selection of the Multicore Microcontroller
The demands placed on microcontroller-controlled systems are increasing year by year. They are expected to offer greater convenience, expanded functionality, and enhanced security for the user. The processing cores that handle these expanded and new tasks require ever more computing power. These...
