The future of programmable logic by Bob Zeidman Before long, platform FPGAs containing fixed or configurable processors and custom hardware will dominate the field of hardware design. By then, hardware/software codesign will be the norm.
A wireless odyssey by Larry Mittag Once embedded systems designers can assume ubiquitous wireless communications, some really interesting things might happen. But ad hoc network architectures and increased public access to previously regulated bandwidth will be key.
Embedded processors of tomorrow by Jim Turley Goodbye binary arithmetic, instruction sets, and assembly language programming. Hello 4.5-billion transistor, 250GHz processors. O brave new embedded world!
MEMS: Amazing little machines by Nick Tredennick and Brion Shimamoto Developments in the field of semiconductors are leading to integrated circuits with three-dimensional features and even moving parts. Such devices, called microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), can resolve many problems that a microprocessor plus software or hardwired ASIC cannot.
#include Ebb and flow by Michael Barr Although many technological advances have occurred along the way, much of what embedded systems designers do hasn’t changed since this magazine was launched fifteen years ago.
Programmer's Toolbox It's only logical by Jack Crenshaw From Aristotle to George Boole, Jack traces a history of logic and then explains how to simplify Boolean equations.
Break Points An embedded life by Jack G. Ganssle Jack takes a long, nostalgic, and very personal look back to the early days of embedded systems development.
Beginner's Corner Introduction to direct memory access by Stuart Ball Implementing direct memory access is straightforward, once you know how it works and how to configure your DMA controller. Here's a primer on this most efficient means of moving data around in a system.
Programming Pointers Abstract types using C by Dan Saks Classes are the most useful feature that C++ offers over C. This month Dan shows you why this is so and how to approximate classes in C.
