“Normal” programmers can get away with the assumption that their C programs start executing from the main() function. But embedded developers need to know what happens before that. Lesson 13 explores ...

There was a time when we were multilingual. Assembly language was the only alternative to machine code, and each microprocessor and microcontroller family had its own language, reflecting its own ...

You probably hold with the conventional view that the Java language cannot be used for embedded programming. According to this view, implementations of the Java language are (1) too slow, (2) too big, ...

There has always been a fierce war being waged between C/C++ for the hearts of embedded software developers. The war has lasted decades, with C++ slowly but surely whittling down the number of ...

Doxygen can be an amazing tool for disciplined embedded software developers seeking to quickly generate a software manual that stays in sync with their code. It scans your code, parses out developer ...

Mention embedded programming and most will automatically think of C. But while it’s still the dominant language for the space, these days C has lots of company. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

This installment of Embed with Elliot begins with a crazy rant. If you want to read the next couple of paragraphs out loud to yourself with something like an American-accented Dave-Jones-of-EEVBlog ...
