Barr Group to Host Webinar on the Boundary Between Embedded Device Hardware and Software Functionality

GERMANTOWN, Md., Dec. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Barr Group, a global leader in the safety and security of embedded systems, announced today that CTO Michael Barr and Principal Engineer Tom Brooks will host an upcoming free embedded software webinar entitled To C or not to C: Software/Hardware Partitioning in Embedded Devices.

The 60-minute webinar on January 13^th, 2015 at 1PM EDT will present specific guidelines for software/hardware partitioning. Additionally, a few case studies will be examined, which illustrate the design tradeoffs that must be considered in embedded device design.

"One of the biggest challenges when architecting a modern embedded device is separating the design into its hardware and software components," said Barr, a noted industry expert and former adjunct professor at the University of Maryland. "In today's embedded systems market with the variety of highly-integrated microcontrollers and open-source software stacks, deciding on the dividing line between hardware and software has become even more difficult."

"Decisions on hardware/software partitioning can have a significant impact on cost, schedule, and performance of an embedded device," said Brooks. "Whether it is a medical device, a military radio a smartphone, a media player, or any other type of embedded system, an imbalance in hardware versus software functionality can have significant ramifications."
