Embedded E-cast

With the world going "small" and "green," and users demanding ever-more functionality and computing power in everything from mobile phones and iPods to multicore-based servers, power-aware design and the need to relentlessly cut power consumption has arguably become the most important issue facing system-on-chip (SoC) designers today. This webcast, sponsored by Cadence Design Systems, Inc.

Intel Atom processors are associated with many of the hot consumer and info-tainment products on the market, but how about the broader embedded market including industrial, retail and office automation, health, aerospace and more? Using Intel Atom and Moblin with a commercial Linux vendors tools, support and services proves to be a powerful combination across these other embedded markets where fast time to market is important. Join Intel and MontaVista software as we discuss the benefits of Atom and Moblin for the broader embedded market and the challenges involved when delivering products on your own.

The efficient transformation of solar energy into electricity for home usage requires smart battery management and DC/AC voltage conversion, demanding electronic circuits to be precise, robust and interconnected. Joint us on this session to understand how low-power high-performance Freescale MCUs and DSCs can manage trivial tasks in solar inverter systems improving efficiency, reducing noise, and allowing system supervision.

Freescales ultimate Ethernet solution features the MCF51CN ColdFire V1 MCU, complimentary Freescale MQX RTOS and the Tower System, a cost-effective, open-source hardware platform with a library of interchangeable board modules. The combined solution gives developers an easily customizable, expandable design environment that can expedite development time through rapid prototyping and tool reuse.

Predicting the future is a hazardous endeavor, but tracking trends can at least provide a glimpse of what is to come. A key trend in embedded systems is the increasing need for reduced power consumption, which is driven by demand for portable devices, higher energy costs and environmental pressures.

MicroTCA is becoming the platform of choice for a wide range of embedded computing applications well beyond its initial telecom focus. While it supports sophisticated features including system management, redundancy, and high availability, many cost sensitive applications do not need all of these features but benefit from MicroTCA's high level of performance.

Creating eye-catching content is increasing important for high-end HMI for applications such as factory automation, building control and home panels. Freescales i.

Business and engineering decision makers in the aerospace and defense industry must continue to increase lethality and survivability in their next-generation platforms, while constrainingand even reducingspace, weight, and power (SWaP) consumption. To meet these hard challenges, aerospace and defense programs are required to conquer new and disruptive technologies that enable devices to massively increase capability while minimizing consumption of platform resources.

This is the expectation by 2015 according to research firm IDC. Today millions of intelligent devices are already connected and controlling each other without the need for human intervention.

Ruggedized MicroTCA Goes Mainstream--If you are making plans based on even barely out of date info about this high-performance, low-cost, low power solution, you need this Webcast now. Learn how to capture your share of the signficant revenues that applications for the Network Centric military, commercial critical applications, and medical are generating.

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 configuration management, version control, and more start to loom larger.

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 the U. S.

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 reliable hardware and software foundation coupled with a powerful graphics environment can save significant development time and help ensure successful product qualification and acceptance.
