Deadlines matter, but in embedded systems, how much they matter defines your OS choice. From airbag systems with zero room for error to home automation where a few milliseconds won’t hurt, hard, firm, and soft RTOS each bring different tradeoffs in latency tolerance, scalability, and power use. Here’s how they compare, and why it matters for your next embedded project. #rtos #realtime #embeddedsystems

You interact with FPGA-powered technology more than you think. Whether you're streaming over 5G, flying at 30,000 feet, or tracking your health with a wearable, an FPGA may be working behind the scenes to deliver real-time performance and high-speed processing. Here are just a few ways FPGAs are driving real-world innovation. #fpga #fpgas #fpgadesign #embedded #embeddedsystems #embeddeddesign #embeddeddevelopment #embeddedengineer

What powers an autonomous vehicle’s intelligence? Spoiler: it’s not just AI—it’s the embedded systems beneath it. At the core of every AV is a complex software architecture connecting sensors, ECUs, and real-time control systems—all working together to ensure safety and reliability on the road. Here’s a look at the six core technologies shaping the future of autonomous driving. #embedded #embeddedsystems #embeddeddesign

As embedded devices become more connected, their attack surface grows. But connection doesn’t have to mean vulnerability. TPMs anchor trust in hardware—protecting cryptographic keys, verifying code at boot, and preventing tampering long before software executes. Want to dive deeper into how TPMs establish a hardware root of trust across embedded platforms?

Why are FPGAs central to the next wave of edge systems? Because at the edge, determinism matters. FPGAs deliver clock-accurate execution, power efficiency, and reconfigurability—exactly what time-critical systems demand. We break down when, why, and how to integrate them cleanly here: https://hubs.la/Q03S9_G80 #fpga #fpgadesign #edgesystems #embeddedsystems #embeddeddesign

Gamers demand speed, precision, and visual clarity. We engineered a prototype system that delivered all three—bridging high-speed DVI video and analog output via a TMDS + DAC configuration. The heart? A tightly integrated AMD/Xilinx® FPGA design that handled signal processing and bus control under the hood. #fpga #fpgadesign #amd #xilinx #togetherweadvance

The days of manual debugging are numbered. As embedded systems grow more complex, AI-assisted analysis and virtual prototyping are reshaping how engineers identify, test, and resolve issues. By simulating real-world conditions before hardware even exists, teams can catch cross-domain bugs early when fixes are faster, cheaper, and smarter. Here’s what that evolution looks like in practice: #debugging #embeddeddesign #embeddedsystems
