Join Kerry Johnson of QNX Software Systems and Steve Klinger of Cavium Networks as they address some of the key questions confronting developers building network applications for multi-core processors. This session will explore fundamental issues, such as high-availability, reliability, performance and troubleshooting, and review the case for a true microkernel real-time operating system on high-performance multi-core processors.

NXP recently introduced a broad line of lowest power Cortex M-series microcontrollers based on the industry leading ARM architecture. These new LPC1300 and LPC1100 microcontroller products are suitable for embedded consumer, industrial, and portable medical applications. Please join us to learn more about this new technology, providing detail on features and benefits to address your application needs. In this session, we will review how you can easily deploy these small footprints, low power microcontrollers in your next design.

In this webinar, we will take a look at some of the risks that VxWorks-based projects may be faced with and suggest how QNX Software Systems could address those concerns. Leo Forget, product manager at QNX, will outline how a logical and modular migration plan could be your best option. He will cover the phases of migration from assessment to porting and optimization, bearing in mind the need to minimize the cost and effort of the porting process. Join us and we will give you something to think about.

Learn about Real Time Clock (RTC) functions and how to achieve higher accuracy, lower power consumption, and minimized bill of material. Unlike RTCs integrated in microcontrollers, stand-alone RTCs have features like integrated TCXOs and a wide operating range, helping you achieve higher system accuracy and lower power consumption. Topics covered in this seminar include accuracy calculation, crystal selection, oscillator tuning, and how to pick the optimal RTC device from NXP.

This webinar includes a briefing from the Mentor Graphics OS engineering team, who will discuss the implementation of Nucleus OS and Linux on the Marvell Sheeva MV78200 Dual-core Embedded Processor.

In this course we will explore some of the fundamentals of ESL with particular emphasis on one of the most mature areas, namely high-level synthesis of the hardware portions of the system. While this area is maturing, different vendors have chosen different languages as their starting point and we will explore some of the tradeoffs that this makes.

This class covers sensorless vector control formulation for Brushless DC (BLDC) motors and its implementation techniques. The class starts with basic theory in terms of BLDC motor model, vector control principle, Clark & Park transformation, PWM modulation, flux observer, and speed and position estimation. Vector control based on sensor and its normal processing is briefly explained. Then the class focuses on processing for a sensorless vector control that does not use position or speed sensors. Specific implementation of the motor model based flux observer and overall sensorless vector control implementation strategy is described. Also, techniques for measuring currents via conventional sensors and using one-shunt reconstruction are explained. Finally, this class demonstrates the performance of sensorless vector control regarding speed regulation and CPU bandwidth usage.

Handheld mobile devices provide an ever richer range of applications and connectivity which, when combined with their limited computing resources and physical accessibility, implies a unique set of security issues. High-value services must operate alongside low-risk features and even user-downloaded applications. The complex mixture requires a rich OS environment which carries with it its own inherent vulnerabilities. This class outlines a security architecture tailored to provide the assurance required for high-value services while at the same time allowing the freedom needed for user-downloaded applications on the same device. Starting with the hardware components providing tamper-resistant monitoring and debug port protection, the class moves through tamper-evident software load and execution and through to system and user data protection. Finally, the class outlines the integration of these elements with software virtualization technology to provide assurance for high-value services. The virtualization solution runs a strictly contained and hardware access-restricted User OS. Alongside, but fully isolated from the User OS, virtualization allows a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to run, in which high-value services may operate out of reach of other features and applications.
