Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

Embedded systems have always been about squeezing every ounce of performance from limited hardware. From hand-optimized assembly to finely tuned C, we’ve spent years writing efficient code, minimizing ...

Every communication protocol should have a mechanism to determine whether the received data is valid. I once encountered a team that didn’t have such a mechanism. Their device operated in a ...

In the last lesson, you encountered the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and you worked out a manual procedure of switching the context from one thread to another. In this lesson, ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...
