Safety: make software part of the solution

This paper describes three steps that control and process automation developers can take to achieve saftey compliance while cutting costs and complexity.

ARM-based industrial controllers – adaptable to customer specifications

Siemens EDM's (Electronic Design and Manufacturing)  latest platform concept involves industrial controllers that can be adapted to customer specifications.

Don’t crash at the finish line - how to overcome device complexity

Wind River, has developed a new type of device testing solution that provides unprecedented run-time visibility into the operation and quality of complex devices under test. The Wind River Test Management system delivers actionable intelligence that lets teams focus their efforts on what really needs testing.

Direct hardware access made easy with Secure & Unified Smart Interface

You are writing an application that requires direct hardware access? Unfortunately, that access is no longer available in modern operating systems. But the SUSI unified interface can help you.

Agile methods and practices for embedded systems development

Agile software methods and practices form the basis of a process which, when coupled with modelling and other techniques, can more effectively deliver embedded systems.

Embedded graphics and data models in the development of GUIs

This article reviews the requirements of modern embedded graphical systems, and presents XiBase9 as a good starting point to satisfy the requirements profile.

This White Paper  will show what does it mean to obtain particular goals with unit testing, like certain level of code coverage. We will also discuss safety relevance of unit testing.

The next generation of Intel Core processor platforms

In this document we’re explaining the new Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processors and their chipsets and how they are being used in a variety of new Advantech boards and modules.

Practical unit testing for embedded systems

“Test early, test often” is a mantra that concerns unit testing as well. In this article, we will show how to prepare, maintain, and benefit from setting up unit tests. We will use a Keil evaluation board with the new ULINK Pro debug and trace adapter, and Parasoft C++test Unit Testing Framework.
