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? It's a constant struggle for designers of handheld and mobile devices, who are pressing the limits on what can be done with software and processing power while still keeping devices very small...

Performance and cost have always been critical metrics for evaluating networking equipment. Multicore silicon offers an opportunity to optimize both. By efficiently distributing networking functions across multiple cores, systems can realize greater throughput, smaller footprint, and lower costs tha...

Linux is the fastest-growing operating system for device development. Some striking advantages are its proven scalability and flexibility, and full source-code availability. Once you’ve chosen Linux, you still have a decision to make: Will you “roll your own (RYO)” Linux or use a commercial Linux so...

The challenge for EDA tool vendors in attacking electronic system level (ESL) design can be simply stated - provide the tools and methodologies that let system-on-chip (SoC) designers use abstract, system-level models to create implementation-ready (RTL) descriptions of their desired hardware. The...

With the accelerating pace of application development and evermore compressed product life cycles, the ability to re-use and migrate legacy software to new platforms is paramount. Migrating from legacy RTOS-based designs to embedded Linux presents a range of engineering challenges, but also opportun...

If you are involved in designing or developing carrier-grade network equipment, uninterrupted service and comprehensive network management are likely mission-critical requirements. This presentation will define how standards such as NETCONF and those published by the Service Availability Forum (SA F...

The lack of timely and accurate access to sensor data negatively affects the warfighter every day. SigmaNETTM, from Mercury Computer Systems, is a combined hardware/software solution that addresses the data access issues by pushing exploitation close to the sensor, helping to deliver actionale inf...

The requirement for 'instant-on' capability in consumer electronics, ranging from cellphones to mobile internet devices to automotive platforms, has become a necessity. Customers' expectations for instant data or multimedia access has been increasing with trendy gadgets being released in the market....

For the application developer, this ecast offers a hands-on look at multicore technology from the viewpoint of a chip vendor, a systems vendor, and an operating system software vendor. What performance gains can be expected by implementing multicore right, both in hardware and software? How can mult...

The Fourth Wave of the Internet is upon us, with millions of new users joining the “inter-web” every year—and tens of millions of connected devices are sharing everything from simple keywords to location-aware “mash-up” concert databases. Web 2.0 apps like Twitter combined with an always-on BlackBe...

Virtualization has gained a strong hold in enterprise applications. Now it is gaining momentum in embedded computing. Find out from the leaders what they are doing to address multicore and security concerns with virtualization and hypervisors at the processor and RTOS levels.

The average new car now packs more electronics than the average living room. There are electronics systems for vehicle control, safety and regulatory compliance systems, driver assistance, networking, and infotainment – all depending heavily on embedded hardware and software to deliver a total exper...

LCD displays are finding their way into many, many devices as a simple way to implement an operator interface. But the days of hard-to-interface raw LCDs are over - many microcontrollers are integrating with LCD drivers and touch screen capability, and software is making small displays more useful a...

Join technologists from Texas Instruments (TI) and VirtualLogix (VL) as they discuss multicore solutions for high density applications, as well as TI's current portfolio and product roadmap for future solutions for high performance applications such as telecom infrastructure, high performance and em...
