Design

At the Embedded World in Nuremberg February 26-28 Imsys announced a new device - the IM3240 - to complement its product range for IEEE1588 clock synchronization. At the tradeshow its sibling products are demonstrated showing slave accuracies of 15 nanoseconds using sub-dollar clock oscillators.

National Instruments has announced the release of the NI LabVIEW 8.5 Control Design and Simulation Module, an extension of the LabVIEW graphical system design platform that helps engineers and scientists analyse open-loop model behavior, design closed-loop controllers, simulate systems and create real-time implementations. The latest version of the module introduces new design features such as analytical proportional integral derivative (PID) for...

IAR Systems and SEGGER Microcontroller, leading manufacturers of software packages for embedded systems, today announced the availability of ‘Flash Breakpoints’ integrated into IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM.

AdvancedIO Systems, the leading provider of configurable 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity for real-time computing systems, today announced the release of the V1021 configurable 10GbE connectivity and packet processing XMC/PMC module. Thanks to the integration of SFP+, the latest 10-gigabit optical transceiver technology, the V1021 provides high bandwidth data-pipe performance with flexible processing functionality in a single chassis slot...

Nu Horizons Electronics has announced availability of the LAN9218i from SMSC. This single-chip 10/100 Ethernet controller is designed for high performance embedded applications. Packet loss is reduced or eliminated through the use of 16KByte of internal SRAM that can hold over 200 received packets. If the receive FIFO gets too full, the device automatically generates flow control packets to the remote node, or asserts back-pressure on the remote ...

XMOS Semiconductor is using the CoSy compiler development system from ACE Associated Compiler Experts in the development of the tool suite for its XCore processor. An event driven, multi-threaded processor, XCore is programmed using C and the XMOS originated XC language, which adds support for parallel processing, event driven control and time-driven programming models.

Embedded control engineers prefer the simplified programming provided by floating-point architectures, but are often deterred by the higher cost. Addressing this paradox, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today announced what is said to be the first fixed-point digital signal controllers (DSCs) that are entirely compatible in hardware and software with high-performance floating-point DSCs. TI’s new TMS320F282x series of DSCs combine the a...

Express Logic, Inc has announced the availability of NetX Duo its new dual IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack. NetX Duo is built upon the solid field-proven foundation of Express Logic’s NetX TCP/IP stack, an IPv4-only solution. Now, as developers recognize the greatly expanded demands of Internet enabled devices, NetX has been extended to support IPv6 as well.

Green Hills Software has announced the availability of its software development solution targeting Applied Micro Circuit Corporation’s (AMCC) PowerPC 405EX and 405EXr embedded processors. Components of the Green Hills Software development toolkit include: optimizing C/C++ compilers for Power Architecture, MULTI integrated development environment (IDE), virtual prototyping platform, DoubleCheck static analyzer, and high-speed hardware debug prob...

Aonix, the provider of complete solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, and Green Hills Software, a technology leader in device software optimization (DSO), real-time operating systems (RTOS), and related development tools, have joined forces to enable commercial availability of the Aonix PERC Ultra Virtual Machine (VM) for Green Hills INTEGRITY to the embedded market.
