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

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.

From code to behavior – Software assurance in safety- and mission-critical edge systems

From code to behavior – Software assurance in safety- and mission-critical edge systems

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.”

From Bottlenecks To Breakthroughs

With the rising complexity of embedded systems and the difficulty in finding hidden bugs, observability tools seem to be the new alternative for developers. It shows what is happening in real time. What do the innovators say?

A Holiday Farewell: Reflecting on 40 Years in Embedded

The holidays are a time to slow down, take a deep breath, and prepare for the year ahead — and sometimes, for change. To that end, I’ve decided that after 40 years, it’s time for me to say goodbye to the embedded industry at the end of December. In 1983, I dropped out...
