Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

If you did successfully program the chip you should recheck your hardware. Is the LED installed backwards, preventing it from lighting up? Take a trip to Google and start searching… this usually plays ...

The Nios II C-to-Hardware Acceleration (C2H) Compiler from Altera greatly simplifies the job of accelerating functions in a C program using hardware (see the figure). It also simplifies the chore of ...

Today at the Open Hardware Summit at MIT, OSHWA, the Open Source Hardware Association has announced a huge revision to the Open Hardware certification process. The goal here is to design a better ...
