Development tools are the highest performing on the market
CoreMark benchmark scores for the ARM Cortex-M7 core suggest that IAR Systems' IAR Embedded Workbench is the highest performing ARM Cortex-M microcontroller development toolchain on the market. The toolchain, which includes the IAR C/C++ Compiler, provides a wide range of debugging and analysis possibilities to more than 3,000 ARM devices.
DSP receives strengthened RTOS support
Express Logic’s ThreadX RTOS now supports Analog Devices’ ADSP-BF70x Blackfin Digital Signal Processor (DSP) product family. ThreadX RTOS is well matched to the new Analog Devices (ADI) ADSP-BF70x processor family as well as to ADI’s other 32-bit microprocessors. To maximize developer efficiency, ThreadX is configured for ADI’s CrossCore Embedded Studio (CCES) IDE and is available in full source code.
19" rack-mounted fan trays supplied to US defence contractor
A US-based defence contractor has been supplied with Verotec custom designed intelligent fan trays for a major project. In order to maximise the cooling of critical elements of the electronic system located above the fan tray, the 19" rack-mounted 1U trays have six strategically located fans within the tray.
Atmel Announces ARM Cortex-A5-based MPUs Optimized for 720p Video Playback and Advanced Security Functions
At ARM TechCon 2014, Atmel Corporation announced the company has expanded its Atmel SMART portfolio with the SAMA5D4, a new series of high-performance microprocessors (MPUs) based on the ARMCortex-A5 processor. The SAMA5D4 offers OEMs seamless technology for Internet of Things (IoT), consumer and industrial applications including control panels, communication gateways, imaging terminals and more.
Then and now: a brief history of single board computers
The term SBC or single board computer has been around for many years and has meant different things to different people. By Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Solutions Development, Premier Farnell.
Prototyping platform upgraded with Arduino accessories
Farnellelement14 has launched the Arduino UNO Click Shield and a host of Click Boards and accessories for the Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained, a low-cost, rapid prototyping and evaluation platform featuring the ARM Cortex A5 based SAMA5D36 microprocessor. These accessories are ideally suited for quick and easy implementation on development kits and feature low power operation and a small footprint.
Intel’s 80960 32-bit MPU re-introduced by Rochester
Designed for commercial and military embedded applications, the 80960MC is a 32-bit microprocessor with 512-byte instruction cache, a built-in interrupt controller, an integrated floating-point unit and a memory management unit.
Digital CAN actuator control fulfils ATV demands
A digital CAN actuator control, developed by engineers at Warner Linear, can maintain a fully integrated bus architecture for all functions in an all-terrain in-vehicle control system. CAN, which was first used on the upmarket BMW 800 series, is now widely used throughout the car sector and has become very popular for other types of vehicle and mobile equipment. It is also used in aerospace, maritime, industrial automation and medical application...
Cold store scanner operates from -35°C to +45°C
A compact cold store scanner has been introduced by Pepperl+Fuchs, addressing the difficult ambient conditions which exist during the processing, transportation, and identification of products. The VB14N-T scanner operates at temperatures from -35°C to +45°C and, with a scan rate of up to 1000 scans/s and resolutions of 0.2 mm, delivers the same performance as the VB14N type counterpart for standard temperatures.
Neuromorphic computing a potential reality with atomic switch
The mammalian brain continues to reign supreme in completing tasks based on both memory and environmental clues, even though computers have revolutionized information processing. This contrast in performance stems from the radically divergent physical structures and operating mechanisms of neuronal networks and digital circuits.
