Simulating Reality: How Advanced Vibration Testing Shapes Product Durability

Ellie Gabel

April 8, 2025

The results of advanced vibration tests show manufacturers, designers, engineers and others whether their products will perform as anticipated in the real world. Creating things that work well in the laboratory is a good first step, but people need to verify that such consistency is also present in less-controlled environments. Vibration testing examines whether devices and other items tolerate shocks and keep working effectively and safely.

The Growing Importance of Continuous Observability in the Age of Cyber Resilience

Andreas Lifvendahl

March 20, 2025

As embedded systems become more connected and complex, ensuring their security and reliability is no longer optional – it’s a regulatory necessity. The European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a clear signal that manufacturers must take proactive measures to secure their products, not just during development but throughout their operational lifespan. One crucial aspect of this is real-time monitoring of devices in all phases of the product lifecycle – what we at Percepio call Continuous Observability.

Guidelines for Reliable RTOS Usage

Ralph Moore

March 13, 2025

There is a great deal of information about how to write reliable code, but very little about how to pick a reliable RTOS and how to use it reliably. An erroneous concept has flourished for decades that “since all RTOSs are equivalent”, the simplest one will do. Whereas this might be an acceptable idea when the alternative is bare metal, it is not acceptable for the complex embedded and IoT systems that are being developed today.
