Real-world testing of the embedded control systems found in vehicles can be complex, expensive, and hazardous. HIL simulation lets engineers thoroughly and efficiently test embedded devices in a virtual environment.

Why Hardware-Based Design Security is Essential for Every Application

June 14, 2017

Design security is often an afterthought. But, with the regularity of security breaches impacting an array of industries, it's now more of an imperative to build security into designs early on. This paper addresses why security can't be neglected even in the most seemingly innocuous products, and examines why hardware-based security technologies can better protect against vulnerabilities than software-based approaches.

Optimizing Trim Commands to Improve Flash Storage Performance in Embedded Systems

June 14, 2017

Proper upkeep of NAND flash is critical to the performance and life expectancy of solid state drives (SSDs), embedded multimedia cards (eMMCs), and universal Flash storage (UFS) devices. Part of this maintenance is routine discards (or “trim,” “unmap,” or “erase” commands in non-Linux command sets).

Hardware in the Loop Testing for Power Electronics Systems

June 14, 2017

Embedded control system developers and test engineers face new challenges with the growing adoption of electric motors in the automotive industry and in green energy applications. Electric motor simulation needs to have high fidelity, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems must execute simulation models on the order of 1μs to adequately simulate the electric motor behavior.

White Paper: Best Use of Discards to Improve Flash Storage Performance

June 05, 2017

Solid state drives (SSDs), and their embedded cousins, eMMCs (embedded multimedia cards) and UFS (Universal Flash Storage), are seen by many as the future of mass storage. However, steep declines...

White Paper: Best Use of Discards to Improve Flash Storage Performance

June 05, 2017

Steep declines in performance can arise in eMMC and UFS if discards are not being used. But what do discards mean for the flash and the file system, and can you balance the performance and the cos...
