Simulating Embedded Systems by Kenneth F. Greenberg Although a simulator won't solve all of your debugging problems, sometimes it's useful to have one around. Here's what simulation will and won't do for you.
Programming for Change: How to Handle the Software Crisis by Daniel Pettyjohn Several notorious software project failures have been blamed on too many design change requests by the customer. Here are some guidelines for writing C code that will accommodate subsequent changes.
Development of a Real-Time Simulation System by John Boyd and Roger Theyyunni Off-the-shelf tools targeted for a variety of applications may not always meet the requirements of a particular type of application. Embedded system developers should develop tools accordingly, as this case study points out.
How to Comment Code by Steve Drevik Good code is maintainable and reusable both by the original programmer as well as by other programmers–that means it's well documented. This article presents guidelines for effective documentation.
Advanced DSO Techniques in Debugging Embedded Systems by Eric M. Miller Digital storage oscilloscopes are powerful debug tools. Here are some debugging techniques that use their special features, based on real-world applications.

#include Embedded Puck by Lindsey Vereen Not only is embedded technology extending to niches you'd never expect, the likelihood that it will be based on x86 architecture is growing. Now, how long do you think it will take to embed a Pentium Pro-based system into a golf ball?
Real-Time Clearing the Books by Tyler Sperry Speaking of silicon disasters, I can think of some CPU designs that have deserved to die–a few several times over.
Programmer's Toolbox On the Average by Jack W. Crenshaw If you still don't understand, ask your local bookie. Gamblers know the law of averages like their own right hands.
Special Report C and C++ Compilers by Tyler Sperry With every machine cycle being precious, who could afford the clumsy registershuffling of a high-level language?
