Aonix’s ObjectAda RAVEN certification kit provides the evidence and tools customers need to certify to DO-178B Level A and other standards. Since certification costs from $50 to $100s per line of source code, such tools save companies a significant amount of development cost and time.

National Instruments has announced a high-performance 8-slot chassis that delivers deterministic expansion I/O to the NI LabVIEW graphical development platform. The new chassis provides high-speed, jitter-free communication for applications such as distributed control, machine building and hardware in the loop.

Continuing its drive to reduce complexity and development time for embedded systems, Quadros Systems, Inc. has announced an editor and table generator for configuring the ARM memory management unit (MMU). The MMU Table Editor and Generator, MTEG, allows the developer to specify the properties of the process spaces in an easy-to-use, graphical interface and eliminates the need for the embedded developer to master the underlying technology of the A...

Green Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization (DSO) and real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced the immediate availability of its embedded software development solution for the Intel Atom processor N270. The Green Hills Software solution includes the INTEGRITY real-time operating system, MULTI integrated development environment (IDE), optimizing C/C++ compilers, and DoubleCheck static analyzer. Buil...

IAR Systems has announced the launch of the IAR KickStart Kit for NXP LPC2478, a complete development kit that provides a design platform with a touch screen display for multi-interface communication applications featuring Ethernet and USB device and host. The new development kit is ideal for industrial, medical, point-of-sales and other connected applications, and contains all the necessary hardware and software to allow the developer to design,...

Express Logic, Inc and PolyCore Software, Inc. today announced the first commercial RTOS integration of the Multicore Association’s recently released Multicore Communications API (MCAPI) specification. MCAPI provides an industry standard, implementation agnostic API for multicore systems communication. PolyCore Software’s Poly-Messenger/MCAPI is a communications framework simplifying multicore communication. Express Logic’s ThreadX RTOS is ...

Atmel’s AVR ONE is now available from Nu Horizons Electronics. The emulator speeds up programming and supports non-intrusive observation and logging of how the embedded system performs. This allows the software engineer a clear view of real time system behaviour, without affecting or modifying the real time characteristics of the microcontroller.

Aonix has ported its ObjectAda tools to LynxOS RTOS for PowerPC, the preferred environment for engineers building large, complex systems. ObjectAda’s new greatly improved features include an enhanced linker dramatically reduces link time, more efficient debug facility, upgraded support for mixed code, and improved multilanguage debug support, and more.

DSL create their own 8/16 bit ISA BUS low power board and use customer specific part numbers to defeat obsolescence

XMOS, the creator of Software Defined Silicon, has introduced a credit card sized development board that provides everything needed to start developing applications based on its XS1-G family of programmable devices. The XC-1 development board is available as part of the US$99 XC-1 hardware development kit and comes with all necessary support hardware and immediate access to XMOS’ web-based tool suite.
