Omnetics has announced that 3-D solid models are now available as downloadable files for its entire range of COTs and standard connector products, including its Bi-lobe (nano miniature), Strip and Circular families. Omnetics 3-D models are created as STEP Files (.stp) made to be imported into a variety of different CAD programs (ProE, Solidworks, Inventor, etc.)

National Instruments has announced the extension of the NI LabVIEW 8.5 graphical system design platform to new embedded targets with the release of the NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors 2.5 and the LabVIEW Microprocessor SDK (Software Development Kit) 2.5. With a graphical system design approach, engineers and scientists can use LabVIEW to rapidly design and prototype their embedded systems and easily deploy them to targets s...

CoWare has collaborated successfully with STMicroelectronics to create an advanced ESL design automation environment based on CoWare's Processor Designer and CORXpert Personalization Kit for STMicroelectronics custom processors.

Renesas and its alliance partner Embedded Office have announced the immediate availability of a µC/OS-II Board Support Package (BSP) for the M3A-HS19G59 board. The board is based on the SH7619 device that features Ethernet MAC&PHY and a 160 DMIPS SH2 RISC CPU core, as well as many other peripherals. The device is comparable in cost to an Ethernet NIC with PHY and so offers the CPU and peripherals ‘for free’, in comparison.

CAN-based networks require special cable connections. Special adapters are also required for the purpose of integrating PCs. This can sometimes incur considerable costs. To solve this problem, Kanda is offering CAN2LAN router software for the SSV embedded devices server modules, making it possible to transfer any kind of data over TCP/IP-based Ethernet LANs in a transparent way. The CAN2LAN solution involves the interconnection of two CAN netw...

Anders Electronics has announced the launch of the first product in its new User-Machine Relationship line – the UMR-X10. Seamlessly integrating a cutting-edge display with a processor powerful enough to drive it without compromise, the UMR-X10 offers product designers and manufacturers a new standard in integration ease – enabling faster, smoother, and more cost-effective migration from legacy monochrome displays to fully-interactive colour ...

Avalue Technology has introduced the first ETXexpress Module ,the ESM-CN896, based the VIA CN896 chipset. This VIA solution is known for its power efficiency and superior C/P ratio (Capacity / Price). The ESM-CN896 is an undoubtedly powerful graphics-oriented solution featuring the VIA chrome- HC integrated graphic processor (3D Graphic Engine) that is capable of providing vivid images without increased system loading. In addition, the CN896 chip...
