Operating systems on the rise
Jim Turley
This installment reveals how developers choose and use operating systems in their embedded projects.
What processor is in your product?
Jack Ganssle
What chips are other embedded systems developers using in their systems? In our annual survey, your peers reveal their vendor and size preferences.
Interest in embedded Linux remains low, survey finds
Dylan McGrath
Only 17 percent of embedded systems designers are currently using embedded Linux, and 66 percent say they are either not interested in using it or do not expect to be using it anytime soon.
Linux Surveys
Jack Ganssle
Is Linux dying in the embedded space? Or is it healthier than ever? Surveys don't paint a clear picture.
By the Numbers: 44% of current projects use two or more processors
David Roman
Microprocessors and microcontrollers are key selections of embedded designs, and 44 percent of current projects use two or more different devices, according to the joint EE Times and Embedded Systems Design 2006 Embedded Market Survey, which reports on the current and future microcomponent choices of 1,217 respondents.
Half of design projects are late
Mark LaPedus
In an ongoing and troubling trend, more than one half of current embedded design projects are running behind schedule, according to the 2006 State of Embedded Market Survey. The survey indicated that some 55 percent of current embedded design projects are late or have been cancelled.
Software: what gets embedded
David Roman
Development teams for embedded projects spend more time, money and manpower on software than hardware, according to a survey of 1,217 subscribers to CMP Media LLC's EE Times and Embedded Systems Design. Here's a look at some of the survey's software findings.
2005
Know thyself, know thy industry
Jim Turley
What ICs are your peers using these days? What languages and operating systems do they favor? Over the next year, we'll post the results of the Embedded Systems Programming survey online and in the magazine. Here's a little background behind the study.
Survey says: software tools more important than chips
Jim Turley
This installment reveals how engineers, programmers, developers, and managers choose a microprocessor.
Embedded systems survey: Operating systems up for grabs
Jim Turley
Through our subscriber survey, we can examine the ways in which operating systems are evaluated and selected.
Missing RTOSes
Oops, I did it again
Jim Turley
Our monthly installments of the embedded survey results have been very popular, which is a good thing--until someone spots a mistake.
Survey: Who uses custom chips
Jim Turley
This time we look at a variety of custom chips: programmable, customizable, and hard-wired. The use of custom chips is on the rise, but the type of chip varies by industry.
Development teams get bigger, richer
Jim Turley
Our wide-ranging survey of developers from across North America and Europe revealed some generally encouraging information about how developers are working.
2002
Survey gives boost to embedded community
Colin Holland
A survey carried out in the U.S. shows an increase in activity in both new designs and revisions to existing embedded designs.
