description Embedded Systems are used in extreme conditions, often for long lifespans; as such, ensuring hardware reliability is essential. Additionally, the applications of embedded systems can be safety-critical or costly in the event of a failure. Applications and environments such as these demand high reliability. This literature survey explores the challenges of achieving hardware reliability in embedded systems. It examines critical works using different methodologies and viewpoints to summarize hardware reliability comprehensively. The paper discusses the main failure modes identified in embedded systems hardware, evaluates various mitigation strategies, and identifies emerging trends influencing the future of embedded system design. By critically analyzing existing literature, this survey is a resource for future research efforts focused on growing the reliability of embedded systems. Finally, this paper outlines the motivation and first methods for a systems-level approach to embedded systems reliability.
