Embedded E-cast

The market shift towards ARM based MCUs is happening all over the embedded design world. Freescale delivers with the first broad-market mixed-signal microcontroller family based on the latest ARM Cortex-M4 core and innovative 90nm thin-film storage (TFS) flash memory technology.

As the first Intel architecture (IA) processor designed specifically for embedded, the Intel Atom processor E6xx series brings the benefits of IA to a whole new set of applications. Now you can take advantage of the rich IA hardware and software ecosystem at lower price point, bill of materials (BOM), and hardware footprintall while leveraging the newly customizable embedded I/O.

Fully 66% of products developed in the past year included some kind of embedded information technology. But what does this dramatic increase in complexity mean for the creators of those products? Join a roundtable discussion with experts in designing, delivering, and managing smarter products to learn how you can increase your capacity for innovationfaster than your competition.

Telehealth describes the use of embedded devices including smartphones or tablets with 3G/4G connections, devices with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, or other wireless networking technology, or larger platforms with Ethernet to help people connect with healthcare providers wherever they may be. The setting for a telehealth device can be a clinical environment such as a hospital or doctors office, or a home where caregivers arent always present.

The rapid growth in video traffic and other data-intensive applications is straining fixed and mobile networks alikeand the network load will only rise as the transition to LTE gets under way. The rise of bandwidth-hungry applications is joined by a huge growth in the number of connected devices, which now includes everything from smart phones to cars.

Freescale, Curtiss Wright and Wind River have partnered together in the development of high performance and secure platforms that solve the Size, Weight and Power issues facing the Aerospace and Defense industry. Learn how the combined roadmaps of these three companies, now and into the future, deliver cost effective and power efficient off-the-shelf COTS solutions for the demanding military application.

The time and cost required to integrate tactical applications like combat, unmanned and ISR systems is traditionally much higher than for conventional enterprise applications. This is because custom integration approaches have been required to satisfy their demanding performance, reliability and resource requirements.

Covering technical tips and techniques for developing safety-critical avionics software in compliance with DO-178B (up to, and including, Level A design assurance), this webinar features industry experts who will highlight the processes, procedures and tools used to achieve avionics certification on the latest civil airliners. DDC-I, a supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications for over 30 years, and LDRA, a pioneer and global leader in automated software verification, source code analysis, and test tools covering the full development lifecycle will share their joint experiences in achieving successful avionics certification.

The requirement for instant on capability or fast boot in embedded Linux has become a necessity. From cellphones to mobile internet devices (MIDs) to automobiles, devices are smarter and more connected today than ever before.

The need to increase performance on a number of fronts - compute, I/O and graphics - is making it harder for Mil/Aero system designers to satisfy these requirements with PC/104-based boards. The PC/104-Express and related PC104 standards use a complicated stack-up methodology that increases complexity, takes up more space and adds cost, especially when deploying the latest processors required for higher performance applications.

The security of our systems is becoming more critical in todays competitive and hostile world. Whether one builds commercial or defense systems, the need to have those systems protected from network or physical attacks is critical to safe guarding your technology.

For centuries, signage was a fixed, static medium. To consumers who have grown up with Hollywood or Bollywood and ubiquitous TV, this was uninvolving and easily ignored.

The use of Freescale's P4080 8-core processor to build highly flexible, scalable and secure applications. Also will touch on the ability to map classic single core multi-board multi-function systems into a single P4080 based SBC solution.

Avionics software development brings together a challenging and unique blend of safety-critical platforms, reliable software, sophisticated displays, and user input software. This is even more true when the system must meet safety-critical requirements per RTCA DO-178 Level A or other safety or security certification criteria.

Traditionally developers of embedded systems that require security have opted for one of two approaches: either design the system with proprietary hardware and software components, or add security applications and functionality on top of a non-secure system. A more pragmatic approach that can save time and cost is to use a secure platform based on virtualization technologies.
