DRAM errors in embedded systems

why live with it?why not design an interrupt driven program that functionally tests all memory a little at a time and all functional units, and have this constantly running in the background accumulating data. Statistically a DRAM error would eventually become visible even if it was a minor timing error...

Making Quality Your Competitive Edge: Introducing Model Driven Validation and Verification Solution for Embedded Systems

As software designers have significantly improved their design productivity by transitioning to Model Driven Development MDD, the Testing process has remained largely code-centric. This has created a serious productivity gap, where complex designs can be produced much faster than they can be tested. The presenter of this webcast will show...

A robotic taxi named robuCAB

According to ICT Results, a EU-funded project named Embounded 'has achieved the twin, and apparently contradictory goals, of making embedded systems both smarter and tougher.' One example is the robuCAB, a '4 seats automated people mover' developed by a French company and built from a 4 wheel-drive electric chassis with...

Teaching Embedded Systems Engineering in a Software-Oriented Computing Degree

Traditional software-oriented computing degrees do not include courses on embedded systems design in their syllabus, since in the past embedded applications were seen as small-sized solutions developed without the need of engineering approaches. This reality has dramatically changed in the last decade and nowadays several embedded systems are quite complex....
