With the proliferation of IoT devices come increased embedded security attacks. Historically, embedded system engineers have ignored device-layer security despite the many areas of embedded devices ...

No matter what type of embedded system you build, you must test it. Tests give us a warm fuzzy feeling that our system works correctly under specific environmental and operational conditions. While ...

In current system-on-a-chip (SoC) development, no standard access mechanism exists for testing embedded logic cores. Each core provider develops its own process for isolating the core and testing it.

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

It's no longer enough for test engineers to insert DFT scan chains into a flattened chip layout after synthesis. Now, embedded test structures are being thought of as the first line of defense for ...

Embedded software and electronics represent an increasing percentage of the engineering content of an automobile. By 2010, electronics are expected to comprise 40 percent of automotive material costs, ...

The challenges of embedded memory test and repair are well known, including maximizing fault coverage to prevent test escapes and using spare elements to maximize manufacturing yield. With the surge ...

Imperas Software has announced that Razorcat Developments, a provider of software testing tools for the embedded systems market, has integrated the Imperas fast processor reference models into the ...

One interesting fact that I’ve noticed about embedded software development is that development processes and techniques tend to lag the general software industry. When I first started to write ...

Keysight Technologies Inc. KEYS recently introduced the Next-Generation Embedded Security Testbench, a solution engineered to address growing security challenges of modern chips and embedded devices.

In addition to all of the usual testing concerns, interactive graphical applications present some complicated issues. But testing around these complexities is possible, as shown here. The automated ...

I recently took an extended briefing in the form of attending a regional developers' conference in I-495 tech corridor Massachusetts on embedded development and deployment strategies. The host, Wind ...
