One question I’m often asked—and one I often ask myself—is, “How many people are currently involved in developing embedded systems?” Counting engineers is a slippery problem (especially mechanical engineers, because they are often dripping in oil). I’d hazard a guess that there are probably between 2 and 4 million embedded professionals globally (depending on how we define ‘embedded’ and ‘professionals’), including both hardware designers and software/firmware developers.
Now I have another question for you. How many embedded system development teams around the world are using the tools from Percepio? The answer to this one is easy: “Not as many as there should be!”
