Easing embedded Linux software development for SBCs
Most programmers today leaving college with Electrical Engineering or Computer Science degrees are fairly well versed in programming on a Linux desktop platform. When these programmers need to take the leap to programming embedded Linux systems, they a...

Eclipse focus: Motorola joins Eclipse, proposes TmL project
Embedded Computing Design (ECD) recently discussed Eclipse developments at Motorola with Christy Wyatt, VP of ecosystem and market development for mobile devices. In this Q&A, we explore why Motorola has joined Eclipse, aspects of the mobile device code development process, and what is behind the Eclipse Tools for mobile Linux (TmL) project proposal.

Embedded devices for those with disabilities
Not all embedded computers just compute or move data. Embedded computing devices such as those from Otto Bock Healthcare, Germany, and other companies can significantly improve the lives of people with disabilities. Embedded computing electronics can monitor, control, navigate, and communicate with devices from artificial prosthetics to various types of transportation.

Software as assets
We build a lot of embedded software today, and we just keep on doing it over, and over, and over again. To be fair though, we reuse a lot of software in the embedded world: operating systems, USB stacks, network protocols, and so on, but there is les...
