Practical tip: Textual requirements with PlantUML
In many teams, textual specifications are still used instead of modeling. I still see this frequently, even in the context of very technical requirements. For example, I still often see embedded systems where state machines are described in text. These are situations where a picture can say more than 1000 words. But the IT...
From real-time to open source: 6 examples of embedded operating systems
Software is now an essential component of many modern products. But the software has to run somewhere. To do this, we need controllers (computers) and embedded operating systems that run on the controllers. And only then comes our software. The following is a brief overview of operating systems for embedded systems.
