Lauterbach - How To Improve Code Quality at The Embedded Masterclass

The Embedded Masterclass is an exhibition and conference for engineers and managers working in the hi-tech sector.

Lauterbach is a world leader in the design and manufacture of software debugging tools and its presentation will reflect on the commercial reasons why powerful trace technology is essential for modern embedded systems development. Whether it is time to market concerns, reliability in the field or even ensuring performance levels, using software development tools that can ensure code quality will help address many of these issues.

It's fair to say that we are often invited to help solve problems, once they have arisen and the project is verging on a crisis, said Barry Lock, UK Manager of Lauterbach. In this respect, we see the true cost of engineers not using higher level trace tools to ensure code quality. Without them, and without a clear understanding of what the code is doing, the project is open to all kinds of risk. This presentation will discuss the kind of problems that can arise and how they can be avoided with the right approach.

German based Lauterbach had a turnover in excess of $90 million worldwide during 2010 and has seen its customer base grow year on year. Recognised for both engineering excellence and exceptional technical support, Lauterbach tools have become a favourite with many hi-tech engineers. Lauterbach tools support more than 3500 microprocessors and all known ARM Cores, covering products from over 75 silicon companies. The quality and capability of these tools enable engineering teams to develop robust code whilst minimising development time lost to debugging.


In recent years the Embedded Masterclass has become an important event for engineers working with embedded systems and embedded devices. The term 'embedded' refers to the fact that most modern systems and devices have a microprocessor 'embedded' within them. The Embedded Masterclass exhibition, workshops and seminars look to introduce the very latest tools and technologies in this field.

An engineer from Lauterbach will be available at the Embedded Masterclass to offer advice and to share our knowledge with engineers, said Barry Lock. We'll also be demonstrating our very latest development tools and software analysis tools. This really is a great opportunity for any engineers struggling with a code development problem. The event is all about getting answers!

Engineers from across Europe, the US, Canada and Asia have attended the Embedded Masterclass in recent years. Workshops at the Embedded Masterclass, which are presented by hands-on industry experts, have been particularly popular. Topics for the workshops have included Embedded Windows development, Software Timing Analysis and Multi-Core Development.

Lauterbach will also be presenting and exhibiting at this years UK medical electronics event www.medelec.co.uk on the 29th November and at the UK automotive electronics event www.aae-show.com on the 27th of September.
