Percepio’s CEO Andreas Lifvendahl appears as guest blogger in Military Embedded Systems. “In today’s defense and aerospace systems, the software stack is rapidly becoming as complex and as critical as the hardware it runs on. Modern edge platforms increasingly support multithreaded real-time applications, machine learning (ML) inference, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and third-party integrations.
Consider a defense avionics application running on a partitioned embedded platform with mixed-criticality workloads. In the lab, the system passes all static checks and unit tests. However, during field trials, a subtle race condition causes periodic latency spikes in a mission-critical control loop – an issue never observed in simulation or test environments.”
