The U.S. District Court of Delaware's "Default Standard for Access to Source Code" follows many but not all recommended best practices for source code discovery. This month we consider potential areas for improvement in the default rules of this important venue for patent infringement and software copyright litigation.
This webinar examines best practices for assigning fixed priorities to a set of real-time operating systems (RTOS) tasks and interrupt service routines (ISRs). Viewers will learn how and why to use optimal methods to allow a critical set of tasks and interrupt service routines to meet all of their deadlines – even during transient overload periods. Lessons learned can be applied to the development of any priority-based preemptive RTOS, including real-time Linux.
C++ compilers are available for most modern embedded processors, yet the adoption rate remains low. Here we provide very practical advice to help you can get started with C++ immediately. The discussion moves quickly from dispelling common C++ myths and identifying key C++ benefits to a set of practical tips and tricks to help you put C++ to the most effective use in your "first month" and "first year."
Too often engineers give up trying to discover the cause of infrequent anomalies--because they can't be easily reproduced in the lab--dismissing them as "user errors" or "glitches." Yet these ghosts in the machine live on. So here's a guide to the most frequent root causes of difficult-to-reproduce firmware bugs.

Whether you're using only static memory, a simple stack, or dynamic allocation on a heap, you have to proceed cautiously. Embedded programmers can't afford to ignore the risks inherent in memory utilization.
