Embedded World 2026 honored nine companies for breakthrough tech in AI, security, real-time systems and automotive computing.

Decoupling application logic from hardware lets engineers test firmware on host machines instead of waiting for dev boards.

The problem with today's existing methodologies is that verification issubservient to design. This principle requires a shift in paradigm,especially in designing complex electronic systems. Why?

There once was a time when system design was completely serial. Entire hardware platforms were designed, prototyped, debugged, and virtually completed before any software development began. Of course, ...

Based on insights from the software and hardware engineers at embedded systems design consultancy ByteSnap Design, the following predictions outline how 2026 will mark a decisive transition for ...

For the past 20 years, the industry has sought to deploy hardware/software co-design concepts. While it is making progress, software/hardware co-design appears to have a much brighter future. In order ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

The core concepts in hardware-software co-design are getting another look, nearly two decades after this approach was first introduced and failed to catch on. What’s different this time around is the ...
