Embedded Topics

More protocols, multibillion-gate designs, minimized power, burgeoning software and, for networking, hundreds of switch and router ports emphasize the need for scalable, virtualized emulation.

Achieving IoT security means addressing every link in the chain, from the quality of your application code to embedding a root of trust in the hardware.

How AMD coupled a virtual PC and transaction-based emulation to accelerate the verification of its latest GPU

Part three of our series looks at the choices you face as you decide whether to build or buy a board.

Part two of our series on FPGA-based prototyping looks at two critical factors to address before a project begins: budgeting and high-level implementation.

Embedded systems developers are turning to agile techniques and continuous integration. To make these processes possible, you need an environment that supports easy access to virtual prototypes throughout the life cycle.

This multi-part series addresses various aspects of FPGA-based prototyping. Future installments will address budgeting and implementation, but we start by looking at why the technique is generating so much interest.

The wearables market is booming. Successful development depends on assembling the right software and hardware tools. Here's a primer on what to look for.

System-level power is the next frontier for a power-intent standard – or rather a collection of them – being developed by a partnership between Accellera, Si2 and the IEEE.

A look at the USB Type-C connector and the enhanced data rates and charging facilities it will enable
