Embedded Executive: The Future of Battery Testing, Tektronix 14:58

6h ago14:58

14:58

Testing high-power batteries, like those used in EVs, can be a tricky endeavor. It’s more complicated and, frankly, more dangerous than testing smaller, lower-voltage batteries. It makes sense that the testing of these packs could and should be left to recognized test experts, Tektronix in this case. In a discussion with Russ Gaubatz, a senior appl…

Embedded Executive: The SDV Is Coming, and It’s Complicated, Infineon 13:06

21d ago13:06

13:06

We spend a lot of time talking about the software-defined vehicle (SDV), and there are two very good reasons for that. One is that is it occurring, whether you know it or not or whether you want it or not. The second reason is that it is very complex, even if you’re just dealing with the HMI, as it all ties back together at some point. To sort thro…

Embedded Executive: Developers Need Great Hardware AND Great Software, Analog Devices 12:55

21d ago12:55

12:55

Great hardware is useless without great software, and vice versa. The hardware industry continues to evolve, as always, but the software side operates quite differently than it did in the past, thanks to the groundswell of open-source software. Linux has grown into an operating system that can handle nearly any available application, leading the op…

Embedded Executive: Zephyr Could Be the OS You’ve Been Waiting For, Linux Foundation 12:10

28d ago12:10

12:10

If you’re not familiar with Zephyr, shame on you. It’s an open-source, real-time operating system (RTOS) for resource-constrained devices. That’s how it differs from Linux, which is more of a mainstream OS. That said, Zephyr is growing quite rapidly in popularity, for many reasons. To understand what those reasons are, and why they make sense, I ch…

2M ago12:53

12:53

As you might expect, the code base in the software-defined vehicle is growing in leaps and bounds, with more features being added and the functionality within those features growing (and becoming more complex). Is the downside to that ballooning code base the fact that more holes are being introduced to welcome hackers? That’s where my discussion b…
