Software that translates a high-level request into the low-level commands required to perform the operation. The most common abstraction layer is the programming interface (API) between an application ...

Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

Electronic products that use a microcontroller have become so complex today that they commonly use a real-time operating system (RTOS). An RTOS can manage low-level resources and time, improving the ...

Why a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) facilitates building a test system. What does Testeract’s HAL look like? How developers can take advantage of Testeract’s TestPoint software. Automated test ...

Machine code: the ones and zeroes are an abstract representation of the electromagnetic signals flowing through the wires and computer chips. Assembler: hides away the machine code, allowing a ...
