In the past, proprietary hardware and software were commonplace in communications infrastructure, but times have changed. In recent years Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) and Telecom companies have taken a new approach in how they develop their applications. Today, these companies turn to Linux an...

One of the benefits of VPX is lots of pins and possibilities - but it's also a drawback, because there are almost too many choices. Toss in legacy VME boards and it gets even more interesting. Add in further options for slot pitch, cooling options, and ESD control with REDI, and the choices for pack...

The US military's network-centric warfare (NCW) vision imposes significant system-level requirements. New systems need to be far more capable, yet be cheaper, smaller, lighter, and consume less power. Many programs now have streamlined acquisition requirements. And these systems have to interoperate...

Web 2.0 strategies are now a must for all marketers, managers and sales engineers. Over the past few years, businesses have been trying to grasp MySpace, Facebook, Second Life, blogs, Flikr, YouTube, and Twitter and integrate them into their outbound marketing campaigns. Of these, Twitter is current...

Multicore processors create challenges for software development. Embedded operating systems are being enhanced to support multicore environments but software developers also need advanced tools to help address multicore software development issues. Discover how a model driven approach allows for rap...

The Linux operating system is increasingly being used for embedded software projects. In fact, according to analyst firms VDC, EMF and others, it’s become the dominant choice for new development projects over any other embedded OS. However, there are numerous obstacles that push software engineers o...

Can hardware and software be developed for SoCs independently, or are the two so tightly coupled they must be developed concurrently? Can modeling the "system" wait until actual silicon is available, or must it be done with better tools at the architecture stage before the SoC is created? If 90% of...

This webinar is right for you if you are looking at using Linux and Open Source on devices, have just started, or if you are already using it and want to revisit and refine your Linux strategy. We will not dive deep into technical questions, but we will look at how the use of certain technologies i...

The initial promise of AdvancedTCA was to create an architecture capable of much higher compute density and a leap in data plane capability over prior architectures. With a variety of AdvancedTCA solutions now solving problems in many applications, it's time to look at if and how this promise has be...

This webinar will explore how intelligent device manufacturers can leverage Linux and other Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the current challenging economic environment. This live event will examine how building with and on open source technologies can impact product lifecyles, from prototyp...

With the world going "small" and "green," and users demanding ever-more functionality and computing power in everything from mobile phones and iPods to multicore-based servers, power-aware design and the need to relentlessly cut power consumption has arguably become the most important issue facing s...

Intel Atom processors are associated with many of the hot consumer and info-tainment products on the market, but how about the broader embedded market including industrial, retail and office automation, health, aerospace and more? Using Intel Atom and Moblin with a commercial Linux vendor’s tools, s...

The efficient transformation of solar energy into electricity for home usage requires smart battery management and DC/AC voltage conversion, demanding electronic circuits to be precise, robust and interconnected. Joint us on this session to understand how low-power high-performance Freescale MCUs an...

Freescale’s ultimate Ethernet solution features the MCF51CN ColdFire V1 MCU, complimentary Freescale MQX RTOS and the Tower System, a cost-effective, open-source hardware platform with a library of interchangeable board modules. The combined solution gives developers an easily customizable, expandab...

Predicting the future is a hazardous endeavor, but tracking trends can at least provide a glimpse of what is to come. A key trend in embedded systems is the increasing need for reduced power consumption, which is driven by demand for portable devices, higher energy costs and environmental pressures....

Start smart: get powerful techniques to improve your mission critical systems and product development process. Successful systems development in these challenging economic times is a result of doing more with less, building quality into your final product and leveraging your tool investments for ma...

In this webinar, jointly presented by the RapidIO Trade Association, Texas Instruments and Tundra Semiconductor, viewers will be introduced to the RapidIO® standard, its positioning in the embedded interconnect world relative to PCI Express® and Gigabit Ethernet and the various benefits of the proto...

In 2000, the number of worldwide Internet users were estimated at 360 million, using mostly data and web services. In 2008, the number of worldwide Internet users has reached a staggering 1.6 billion users and the mix of real-time audio and video services are increasing dramatically. Today's 1 gigab...

In mission critical software domains, binary partitioning helps accelerate innovation and lower software change costs. It does this by providing the ability to decompose the software system into discrete, separately verified, binary re-usable software components. Binary partitioning enables run-tim...

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...

AdvancedTCA® continues to be the platform of choice for Central Office (CO) telecommunications applications, and now its popularity is expanding to other markets. Join us in this E cast to learn about a new PICMG® initiative to extend the ATCA specification to target a wider range of applications i...

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...
