It used to be that you weren't aware of your customer's problems until they called you, and by then it was too late. Then the Internet of Things (IoT) era arrived, and by connecting your products you could try to proactively support your customers by estimating when a problem might occur. But it sti...

Over the past 20-plus years, the security, industrial, remote monitoring, and other sectors have relied almost exclusively on 2G networks to power their machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, applications, and services. But with carriers looking to reclaim bandwidth for future network technologies, 2G se...

The major challenges of Industrial IoT are about closing the gap between “Things” for facility managers and “Internet” for IT department. This session will present how to help IT and Facility departments to build up “platform” strategies to close the gap. WISE-PaaS is the answer for this “platform”...

Aircraft avionics are I/O intensive, driven by sensors throughout the aircraft that provide a variety of data types, formats and rates, and these attributes vary from aircraft to aircraft. DDC-I's data distribution infrastructure isolates applications from the details of the underlying I/O subsyste...

Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives require integration of the physical, or operational world with the digital world of IT. Choosing the right IoT ecosystem architecture and technology enables this integration while ensuring security and dynamic, analytics-driven action. While some vend...

Enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives require integration of the physical, or operational world with the digital world of IT. Choosing the right IoT ecosystem architecture and technology enables this integration while ensuring security and dynamic, analytics-driven action. While some vend...

In the past the selection between an LDO and DC/DC converter centered on solution size and generated noise. If these were the only considerations, the LDO would usually win "hands down". However, with the advent of the new NanoModule(tm) DC/DC converters from Texas Instruments, the designer now has...

This webinar starts with an introduction to the new TI Sitara(tm) processors, including features, target applications and benefits, followed by Ittiam's offerings for industrial applications. Ittiam's solutions include hardware boards, Media SDKs and Pre-configured Systems to realize use cases such...

Commercially supported Linux is proven to be significantly less expensive and faster to develop than roll-your-own Linux software. Switching to a reputable vendor also reduces risks related to security and licensing issues and frees up the time necessary for teams to focus on their core competencies...

The proliferation of connected devices coupled with network infrastructure advances have ushered in a new era of communication and machine-to-machine (M2M) automation in all industries. These advances bring significant risk - attacks on systems have become “purpose-built” - targeting specific machin...

Real-time Operating System (RTOS) devices have always played a critical role when strict performance and reliability requirements were necessary. In today's connected world with a rapidly growing base of IoT devices, the need for security, safety certification, scalability and virtualization is expa...

What good is great secure code if it if it isn't part of a great application? Day 3 of our three-day class "Secure Code -- Now and in the Future" will take the valuable insights learned on Days 1 and 2 and apply them to a real-world automotive application. If that's the area you're designing for, gr...

Day 2 of our three-day class "Secure Code -- Now and in the Future" will start with an overview of relevant certifications, look at chain of control and deployment issues (including secure boot and update), and proceed through tools that are available and in place to help develop secure code.

"Managing the process of writing secure code in a timely manner" is the first class in our series "Secure Code -- Now and in the Future." Writing secure code is a constant challenge. You must have the right policies, processes, and tools in place. Day 1 of this three-day class will start from the b...

Software differentiates you from your competitors, and the speed by which you deliver new capabilities determines if you win or lose in today’s competitive IoT market. Continuous Deployment has been proven to be effective in the web and enterprise app space. But can these same principles be applied...

The modern SoC is designed with many modular IP blocks that have been commercially licensed or reused from previous designs, along with some new proprietary components. Integrating all of the components has typically proven to be time-consuming and error-prone as designers stitch their SoCs together...

For many manufacturers, a key decision in their connected device strategy is quite often the simple yet very complex question of build vs. buy. In most cases, end-to-end connectivity, security and cloud infrastructure are foreign concepts for many manufacturers, which can distract them from their co...

Texas Instruments' LaunchPad ecosystem is growing! Known for low cost and ease of use, the LaunchPad evaluation platforms allow developers and avid hobbyists to explore different types of microcontroller to find the best solution for their application.
