Elektor TV – Percepio’s founder Johan Kraft on edge observability, RTOSes, Percepio Detect and more

Apr 2, 2026

Stuart Cording at Elektor Magazine interviews Percepio’s Johan Kraft at Embedded World in Nuremberg 2026. Covring topics like Tracealyzer, Percepio Detect, and RTOS runtime debugging and wider edge observability challenges. The discussion reinforces a familiar challenge in embedded development: many of the hardest bugs are not easy to reproduce in a halted debugger. Better runtime observability helps teams see what the system was actually doing, when it mattered most.

Seeing Inside the Scheduler

RTOS applications rarely fail because a single task is misbehaving. Instead, problems emerge from interactions that are often invisible at the code level.

SDV: Was BMWs jüngste Software-Investition verrät

Mar 4, 2026

Premium car manufacturers like BMW – companies with strong internal development expertise and decades of software experience – are investing in modern development tools to manage the growing complexity of today’s vehicle architectures.

Max Maxfield – “Well, Fork Me with a Dining Philosophers Problem”

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!”

What BMW’s latest software investment reveals about the future of automotive development

Mar 1, 2026

The automotive industry is quietly undergoing a structural transformation that is every bit as significant as the move from carburetors to electronic fuel injection or from mechanical steering to drive-by-wire. The rise of the software-defined vehicle (SDV) is reshaping OEM business models, engineering practices, and supply chains at a speed that only a few years ago would have seemed improbable.

In this new reality, even premium manufacturers such as BMW – companies with deep in-house engineering capability and long-established software competencies – are making strategic investments in modern development tools to support increasingly complex vehicle architectures. Their recent decision to adopt Percepio’s runtime observability technology is more than a single OEM upgrading a single capability; it’s part of a broader shift that is becoming visible across the industry.
