We’ve talked a lot about the software-defined vehicle. This week, we are talking about the electrification of that same automobile on the Embedded Executives podcast. As you might expect, it means removing some of the car's mechanical components and replacing them with electrical components. The benefits of doing that are great, as Sayeed Ahmed, a …

We spend a lot of time talking about the software-defined vehicle (SDV), and there are two very good reasons for that. One is that is it occurring, whether you know it or not or whether you want it or not. The second reason is that it is very complex, even if you’re just dealing with the HMI, as it all ties back together at some point. To sort thro…

If you’re not familiar with Zephyr, shame on you. It’s an open-source, real-time operating system (RTOS) for resource-constrained devices. That’s how it differs from Linux, which is more of a mainstream OS. That said, Zephyr is growing quite rapidly in popularity, for many reasons. To understand what those reasons are, and why they make sense, I ch…

As you might expect, the code base in the software-defined vehicle is growing in leaps and bounds, with more features being added and the functionality within those features growing (and becoming more complex).

Everything is connected, everything is smart, and AI controls everything. And it all comes back to the “smart Edge.” While these statements seem to be a bit over-arching, there’s a lot of truth to them.

Is Wi-Fi even a thing anymore? What I mean by that is, at least from the users’ perspective, Wi-Fi just works, and that’s not much to think about.

Most electronic devices we use today are hard, rigid, and fragile. Look inside them and you’ll see why: The circuits that make them work sit on a solid printed circuit board, or a PCB.
