Computing firmware change is coming to the embedded industry in the form of a new open standard interface replacing the proprietary lock between hardware and the operating system. The unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) is a long-overdue re...
The use of Linux in embedded systems does not necessarily mean that this operating system must be used on the host computer. If the requirements and a few special considerations are kept in mind, kernel drivers for embedded Linux can also be develop...
This article considers how to design a state machine from a general problem description. The starting point is a classical textbook example. There is usually more than one way of designing a state machine to solve a specific problem.
An increasingly wide range of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are posing unique design and development requirements particularly regarding the data link. Many defense application developers have turned to the open data distribution service (DDS) standa...
Non-aerospace industries are increasingly obliged to undertake safety-critical and safety-related analysis and testing. Companies in these industries are consequently tending to look outside their own market sector for best-practice approaches, tech...
The new platform management service added by the Service Availability Forum provides the software with easy access to relevant state changes of hardware entities. This article explains its functioning with reference to a typical AdvancedTCA shelf wi...

Following on the heels of virtualization’s success in the data centre, a new generation of embedded hypervisor technology is rapidly making its way into a wide range of electronic products. Embedded hypervisors have specialized requirements, invo...
For high performance embedded applications multi-core platforms help to achieve a new quality. However true thread parallelism and extensive inter-thread communication pose a new challenge to the developer. Though SMP systems offer support by provid...
Today's consumer devices range from the simple to the complex, but all require a real-time operating system (RTOS) to manage their many functions. In this webinar, we will explore the requirements of consumer devices at the "low end," where low cost...
AdaCore presents its current products and plans for MILS. Current products support the safety critical standard DO-178B Level A. This supports EAL 4 for security based applications, Future products including SPARK language products will support EAL ...
The evolution of COTS hardware and software offerings by highly specialized vendors has had a tremendous impact on the embedded industry in terms of enabling developers to jump start their development. But having ready-made components is only part o...
With the increasing role of the Internet as well as adoption of powerful yet security critical functionality such as electronic cash, digital identity, and DRM-enabled multimedia, there is little doubt that CPU consolidation, software integration, p...
Model-based design is an effective way of accelerating the development process. This webinar shows as an example how to design a controller of a DC motor by using Matlab & Simulink.
A harmonious development workflow is hard to establish. Join this webinar from Bruce Powel Douglass, renowned author and thought leader, to see, how you can achieve this goal by using an Agile approach. You will learn how Harmony process fundamenta...
This webinar explains how to support multiple applications at different safety levels and how to improve software re-use, modularity and portability.
JamaicaVM combines the strengths of the Realtime Specification for Java (RTSJ) with a hard realtime Garbage Collector. This presentation introduces into the development of realtime Java applications with a focus on Embedded Systems.
Model-Based Design with Simulink has become a mainstream development methodology – replacing the traditional development processes with document-based specifications. Reasons for the broad adoption are considerable savings in development time and ...
