Embedded E-cast

Software testing is ubiquitous and an integral part of embedded code verification. However, it can be an expensive activity especially if done in an ad-hoc manner towards the end of the development process.

For the third and final class in this series, we will look at the specific applications that make the most sense for 3D printing, and show you some of the secrets that you dont learn simply by following the supplied instructions. And well make sure to amplify any of the key questions that arose during the first two classes.

There are a variety of do it yourself (DIY) boards available on the market now with processors and I/O that are geared toward supporting various embedded market segments. However, it can be challenging to sift through the DIY platforms, tools, and software options to understand which platform is right for the application.

3D printing is all the rage. The printers are becoming affordable at all levels and design engineers are finding new and better ways to use them in their prototypes.

What do Mars exploration and Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery (MIRS) have in common? In some ways, the technology and communication requirements couldn't be more different. This provocative talk will examine a wide range of challenges for designing modern robotic systems, based on real-life lessons learned from NASA's Human Robotic Systems project and MIRO Lab, an advanced robotic assistance research laboratory.

Digital power was just a buzzword not too long ago, but today it's a viable technology. Do you understand the gains that can be had by implementing this technology, or the losses that can be suffered by not implementing it correctly? Attend Day 3 of the three-part series Embedded University: Analog/Power and you'll find out.

Providing security for the IIoT starts with the Endpoints. IIoT deployments in factory and process control systems often face unique challenges and the security solutions must take these into consideration.

The functionality required by systems continues to increase and the digital semiconductor vendors are doing a pretty good job keeping the power requirements stable. In some cases, they're even dropping the voltage levels to what considered at one time to be noise.

NFC, a short-range wireless technology integrated into smartphones, enables new possibilities for smarter grid infrastructure and metering solutions. Use cases range from secure pre-payment, zero power configuration and service interface, battery-less sensors up to a simplified pairing process of other wireless communication technologies like Wi-Fi(r) and ZigBee(r) through NFC.

The emergence of the IoT is already transforming industries and opening new business models. However, this unprecedented transformation gives way to new security architectural challenges.

The primary objective of the FACE Technical Standard is to define a reference software architecture. The Reference Implementation Guide documents approaches and best industry practices to instantiate the reference software architecture for developing and verifying infrastructure software components and application components.

The internet of Things (IoT) is the next wave of computing. Although many IoT technologies have been around for years, they are being recombined with entirely new business models and revenue opportunities.

Projections on the number of "smart" devices on the planet in 2020 range into the tens of billions, which leaves one big question: What happens to all that Big Data? As exabytes, zettabytes, and yottabytes of memory begins to enter the lexicon, find out what storage experts have planned for archiving the tidal wave of IoT information generated every day. .

Connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) represent an area of tremendous innovation and growth for the embedded industry, but they also present unique design challenges as software solutions become a key feature of your commercial device. From selecting the correct SoC and OS, to flexibility for component integration, to the ability to maximize app processing efficiency; software features have become as important as CPU clock speeds and memory when deciding on your hardware platform.

Applications for Internet of Things (IoT) are exploding in virtually every marketplace and industry. For many experienced development organizations, IoT has a "dangerous" familiarity to embedded systems development.
