Software differentiates you from your competitors. The speed of delivering that software is the difference between winning and losing in today’s competitive telecom/datacom market. If you’re measuring your software build and test times in terms of days or hours instead of minutes then you are at...

NFC is a short-range wireless technology designed to bring ease and convenience to interactions between devices such as smartphones, headsets and car infotainment systems. With 100’s of millions of smart devices now integrating NFC, use cases for this technology in automotive applications are also b...

Industrial and related M2M embedded systems include a unique mix of environmental, connectivity, user interface, and security requirements. Silicon and platforms must provide for extended temperature, humidity, and shock & vibration ranges. Software development must include adherence to industrial c...

Industrial Machines have typically relied on the ability to do motion, and remote I/O using field buses such as CAN and RS-485. Over time the requirements for faster machines have become more stringent. The increased amounts of data, the number of control nodes, and the increased requirements for hi...

Whether you have an existing embedded edge device or are starting the development cycle for a new embedded edge device, you’ll need to take into account several considerations for improving the security of the device. Join Wind River® for this web seminar exploring the impact that anti-tamper softwa...

The basic technical premise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is simple: a common architecture that can connect sensor to cloud, power to factory, and cities to medical services. An infrastructure that can bridge these domains would impact industry as profoundly as the enterprise Internet...

Hardware components are no longer available for many legacy systems running VxWorks 5.x. A schedule- and cost-friendly solution is needed that allows current systems to be updated and fielded without requiring a full development and internal certification process. In this webinar, John Bliss discuss...

With many automotive organizations transforming development efforts towards agile methodologies, the need to redefine and establish security, safety, and quality standards and testing methods is more important than ever. How do we fit safety and security planning and tools into the adaptive developm...

Automobiles are incorporating a sophisticated mix of connectivity, driver assistance, and consumer device integration. Capabilities for integrating smart devices and utilizing Wi-Fi connectivity for wide area connectivity on the road is proliferating. The mix of consumer device, infotainment, and cr...

Learn how the GIC, that supports and manages interrupts for processors, will handle next generation designs with larger core counts. The webinar will start with an introduction to the GIC followed by an overview of the recently released GICv3, and explain the key changes from GICv2 to GICv3 includi...

IoT platforms and applications are emerging and it's evident IoT is poised to change the way the world lives, learns, and works. With these new advancements come significant security concerns. How can end devices authenticate users, access, and protect stored data? Will purpose-built IoT viruses, ma...

Radar, electronic warfare, unmanned aircraft, combat aircraft avionics, etc. all demand high-performance signal processing to meet capability requirements. However, while faster processors and FPGAs create unprecedented performance they also generate excessive amounts of heat. Aspects such as ambien...

Today it is impossible to imagine modern production networks without IP-based industrial Ethernet LANs. It is also well known that IP networks are vulnerable to security attacks, and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) have a huge installed base of equipment that is decades old and has little to no sec...

Military flight computers, vetronics systems, unmanned system payloads, missile systems, GPS devices, radios, etc., are all trending smaller. As a result military program managers are creating more stringent size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements for every system. While each generation of moder...

The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) technical and business standards are driving new efficiencies in avionics platforms.  FACE enables platform integrators to rapidly assemble best-of-breed technologies with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components that have proven safety certificat...

A fundamental component of the agile manifesto is the interaction between individuals and achieving a high level of collaboration. Due to the challenges of hardware access and automation (as we covered in Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 of the Maximum Velocity series) communication silos tend to build up within and...

Multi-core processors open up a new realm of possibilities for increased performance and reduced size, weight and power. But, multi-core design has pitfalls and risks that must be addressed, and getting a multi-core avionics system certified is a major challenge. In this webinar, Kevin Jonestrask di...
