Solving FPGA I/O pin assignment challenges
Here's a step-by-step methodology to help you pinout complex FPGAs.

What you need to know about embedded systems security
Timothy Stapko of Digi International and author of "Practical Embedded Security" poses ten questions you need to ask about embedded systems security, why you need to ask them and then presents his answers.

Squeeze power efficiency out of processor-based designs -- Part one
Processors play a key role in minimizing power consumption and extending battery life. Too often, designers limit their options for minimizing power consumption to little more than using low-power components. In fact, because processors can control the entire system, they in turn offer several ways to reduce and save on power consumption.

PRODUCT HOW-TO: Build compact embedded computers with the Atom CPU-based smartCore Express module
SmartCore Express takes compact embedded designs to the next level with a module format that is almost 80 percent smaller than COM Express.

Why C++ is a viable alternative to C in embedded systems design
While C enjoys a good reputation as a strong and powerful language for embedded development, C++ does not have quite such a broad appeal. With today's capable and sophisticated C++ environments this is often an incorrect belief.

The math of DSP, part 5: Orthogonality
Part 5 explains the concept of orthogonality and introduces quadrature signals.

The 9 Indispensible Rules for Finding Even the Most Elusive Software and Hardware Problems (Part 3)
These excerpts from an excellent book will help you learn how to be effective at that elusive but critical engineering skill of hardware and software debugging.

Follow guidelines to develop an efficient portable power solution
This article presents a generic power supply design for an embedded system and examines the function of each module in the design. It also provides guidelines for selection of topologies and components, thermal and packaging aspects, battery management.
