All embedded developers learn one universal truth: every embedded system is different. This diversity has a significant effect upon choosing the right software, which must accommodate an extremely wide range of requirements. In essence, one size does not fit all. In this technical session, we will e...

Starting new design projects with semiconductor or open source Linux technology is very common. You do this in order to get a quick and early start to development. However, serious challenges arise later in the development process when software limitations, defects, and difficulties arise, well afte...

Android, an open source software platform for mobile devices, is rapidly penetrating a mobile industry that is in a state of flux. Customers are demanding smartphone functionality at featurephone prices. Price and availability of applications are becoming a central aspect of market competition. Inte...

MicroTCA is becoming the platform of choice for a wide range of embedded computing applications well beyond its initial telecom focus. While it supports sophisticated features including system management, redundancy, and high availability, many cost sensitive applications do not need all of these...

From CPUs to DSPs to NPUs, Enea has the software platforms to enable rapid programming and simplified management of your multicore system. In this Webinar, Enea addresses two aspects of its multicore approach: * Rapid and easy programming of a multicore CPU system * Quickly developing a hig...

Are you still building your own prototyping boards? If so, you don’t want to miss this technical webcast, sponsored by Synopsys, where you will learn how off-the-shelf Rapid Prototyping boards can lower cost, reduce risk and improve your competitiveness. Almost everybody is doing it and yet Rapid...

Time partitioning is an operating system scheduling technique that controls a software application’s access to the processor. It is typically used to deliver guaranteed processing time for software applications of multiple importance levels that share the same physical processing platform in a miss...

This is the expectation by 2015 according to research firm IDC. Today millions of intelligent devices are already connected and controlling each other without the need for human intervention. This webinar will explore how Intel® architecture, including the new Intel® Xeon® 5500 processor series for...

Embedded Linux development is information intensive. It is a challenge to: * Locate information for your particular hardware and software * Validate that information for credibility and completeness * Adapt the information for your specific project Join Jonathan Corbet, editor LWN.net,...

If you've ever written more than a few hundred lines of code, you're acutely aware that the water gets really deep really quickly as you wade into a large project. Issues like requirements management, modeling and simulation, design data and feature management, testing, build management, release and...

One of the most active areas in the research and practice of modern systems development is in the identification and reification of design patterns. A design pattern is a generalized solution to a commonly recurring problem. Although a number of books, as well as active newsgroups and websites, are...

For the programmer and system developer, this ecast offers a real-time look at multicore technology from the perspectives of a processor vendor, a virtual platform provider, an ESL solution provider, and an operating system and hypervisor software vendor. CoFluent Design, MIPS Technologies, Synops...

There are features of an OS that feel intuitively right - small memory footprint, fine-grain-scalability, high performance and a flexible business model are good examples. In this session we look in detail at how to rationalize this intuition and how the selection of a real time OS can impact upon t...

Embedded software developers are facing rising design complexity and ever greater time to market pressure, while being required to achieve results using existing resources. Competitive pressure demands that new products be released in less time and at lower cost. In order to combat these challenges,...

Military and defense systems development brings together a challenging and unique blend of ruggedized platforms, reliable software, and sophisticated display and user input software. Whether the system is designed for intelligence gathering, strategic command, or communications, starting with a reli...

Does it seem like you're trapped between getting more out of a design, and how much battery power you have? It's a constant struggle for designers of handheld and mobile devices, who are pressing the limits on what can be done with software and processing power while still keeping devices very small...
