Engineers designing an embedded computing processor or I/O board face many challenges and choices. This E-cast will explore what happens when chipset are not available or alternatives are needed to meet specific design requirements.

This seminar will cover how today's engineering development teams can utilize a multipurpose embedded Linux distribution to create powerful embedded solutions. We will explore how open source packages developed and maturing today provide a path to carrier-grade Linux (CGL) solutions for embedded dev...

This seminar compares the benefits of SMP and distributed architectures as implemented for different types of processors. Developers and innovators who require embedded multiprocessing solutions can benefit from this seminar, which will present: (1) The ease of use and code portability of SMP archit...

The COM Express standard defines a small form factor single board computer based on high performance PCI Express fabric technology. Com Express boards can be used standalone for embedded applications or can act as a CPU mezzanine that plugs onto an application specific I/O base board. Using COM Expr...

The inherent parallelism of high density FPGAs, plus their ability to realize myriad DSP algorithms -- while also adding microprocessor capabilities -- has made them the logical choice in DSP systems. While not replacing the general purpose DSP IC, FPGAs complement signal processing applications so...

The market for DSP, and FPGAs used as signal processing engines and in reconfigurable computing applications, is larger today than ever. We will be examining the use of these technologies in the embedded marketplace and discussing the "hot issues" for busy engineers.
