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...

In this webinar, we will respond to some of the biggest challenges facing embedded designers today such as, “How can we reduce development costs and time to market, as well as make our application more profitable?" MicroTCA is now a viable platform architecture for numerous applications and market s...

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,...

Performance is always one of the top three criteria used when evaluating storage options for any application. Due to the large number of parameters that impact performance, highly simplified, vendor-published measurements are generally representative of the best-case scenario and provide limited inf...

Although the U.S. DoD did more to popularize the term “software defined radio” than any other entity, America’s military is only now starting to deploy SDRs. Instead, the civilian world of cellular base stations and fire/police/federal radios are gaining more momentum in SDRs – but they don’t have t...

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?
