Adeneo Embedded announced today a Microsoft® Windows® Embedded CE 6.0 R2 training course in Boston MA, from October 19th to 22nd, 2009. This event is a unique opportunity for software system designers to develop an application based on Windows Embedded CE, using Texas Instrument’s OMAP35xEVM applications processor solution.

Wittenstein High Integrity Systems has extended the range of ARM Cortex-M3 based processors supported by its OpenRTOS embedded kernel to include Atmel SAM3, NXP LPC1700 and STM32 Connectivity Line chips. The OpenRTOS kernel is fully compatible with FreeRTOS™, meaning embedded designers can develop new embedded industrial, medical, power and consumer applications on the new generation of 32-bit microcontrollers without incurring licence fees. At...

Altium Designer has been chosen as the electronics design solution for the WorldSkills Competition’s electronics category. The WorldSkills Competition is a event held every two years that brings together more than 900 of the best young professionals from around the world. The electronics design category is one of 45 in which competitors compete for gold at this prestigious event. The competition takes place 1-7 September, 2009 in Calgary, Canad...

Direct Insight, an official Windows Embedded Training Partner and Windows Embedded Gold Partner, and Avnet Embedded, Europe’s leading distributor of Microsoft’s Embedded Operating Systems are partnering to provide two intensive training courses to help students prepare for Microsoft Technical Specialist Certifications in using Microsoft Embedded Operating Systems to create embedded devices.

This microprocessor based steering angle sensor provides real-time steering angle data over the CAN-Bus. Automotive electronics present demanding requirements to the electronic product designer. High volume, low cost and highly rugged, feature packed designs are necessary to win. This automotive steering angle sensor can sense high-resolution angle displacement of 1400 degrees of rotation and beyond.

Tensilica has introduced the high-performance, small, low-power ConnX D2 16-bit dual-MAC (Multiply Accumulator) DSP (Digital Signal Processor) engine for its proven Xtensa LX dataplane processor cores for SOC (System-on-Chip) designs. The ConnX D2 DSP engine provides uncompromised performance from C code, unlike many other DSPs that require time consuming assembly coding for maximum performance. This means that virtually any C program, including ...

Polar Instruments has announced a free webinar on PCB layer stackup design using differential pairs. Presented by signal integrity guru, Dr. Eric Bogatin, the webinar will be held at 1.00pm EST (6.00pm UTC) on Wednesday 16th September and present a master-class on how the physical design of differential pairs affects interconnect performance in printed circuit boards (PCB).

Synopsys today announced that Renesas Technology has adopted Synopsys' Proteus OPC for 45nm production. With the introduction of 45nm and below technologies, the demand for optical proximity correction (OPC) becomes greater due to design complexity and layer volume, making time to market and cost of ownership critical factors in OPC vendor selection. Proteus OPC is the industry’s most cost-effective solution since its highly scalable engine ru...

IDT has announced the availability of a new family of embedded clocks. The new devices are ideal for embedded applications or any computing system that is hidden from view and runs a real-time operating system. Such systems include high-end printers, home routers, automotive infotainment systems, outdoor communications equipment, industrial temperature-rated motherboards and rugged notebooks.
