This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

The success of Linux as a desktop operating system, and the appeal of its open source technology, might provoke one to dream of applying it to embedded systems. After all, embedded systems run on the ...

The proper use of an embedded MCU's low-power/sleep modes is critical to a design's success. In today's world of battery-operated devices, the proper use of the low-power/sleep modes provided in most ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...
