The piece de resistance this week, though, is “Multicore Madness ,” in which Jack Ganssle discusses additional misgivings he has about the use of multicores in embedded systems. If you want to talk it over with him, he will be conducting some classes atESC Design West , March 26-29 in San Jose, Ca. Early bird deadline for registration is tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 17, for conference passes.
You can save up to $300 on passes if you sign up now, and don't forget that All Access Pass holders will receive a free 10 inch Android tablet . In addition to the traditional spring Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) and exhibition, there will be six complimentary events: the Blackhat and Android Summits, DesignMed, Designing with LEDs, the Multicore Devcon, and Sensors in Embedded Design.
Bill Graham reviews some of the security best practices that embedded systems need to pay attention to in their designs, particularly those requiring the use of real time embedded operating systems (RTOS)in mission and safety critical systems used in industrial and medical devices.
The author describes a high frequency synchronizer circuit with programmable mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) cababilities that is well suited for high frequency clock gating and input signal synchronization applications.
There are compelling reasons to move to multicore processor designs, but doing so introduces the risk of concurrency defects in the software. Apparently innocent code can harbor nasty multithreading bugs that are notoriously difficult to diagnose and eliminate when they occur. Paul Anderson of GrammaTech offers methods to avoid these problems.
Here's a two-part series on user interface (UI), now an important part of the personality of the device. Here's how to build an emotional tie between your product and your consumer.
In this article, Semitech Semiconctor explains that the next few years will determine whether narrowband power line communication (N-PLC) becomes a reliable mainstream technology of the smart grid.
Star networks present unique challenges, from managing the number of end nodes, ensuring connectivity, and balancing data from and to the source point. They can benefit from a simpler, more effective solution.
In recent years, fatal airplane crashes have brought to light wiring-related failures and alerted regulators to the critical nature of aircraft wiring. In this context, Mentor Graphics Corp. suggests a platform-level process approach.
In order to retain and grow their subscriber base, cable companies and service providers are now taking the lead to deliver the long promised smart, automated home. ZigBee Rf4CE powered remote controls and set-top boxes are the new gateways for controlling home entertainment and smart applications.
