Embedded E-cast

Networking and communication equipment products are starting a great migration to solve the new challenges associated with The Cloud, Big Data, Virtualization, Workload Consolidation, and High Performance Computing. This massive migration is significantly transforming the underlying embedded technologies and necessitates radical new approaches to the way products are architected and designed.

This webinar will show how the new features benefit industrial automation, digital signage, healthcare, mil/aero, and other applications. We will also show how you can speed design with off-the-shelf hardware and software from the Intel Intelligent Systems Alliance.

A review of NXPs broad product offering of I2C temperature sensors, their features, specifications and packaging offerings. Some example of usage in todays power-hungry & heat-generating systems, especially when housed in space-constrained applications (like Ultrabook computers and SSD (solid state drives)).

The imminent adoption of DO-178C by major certification authorities presents a number of challenges for developers of certified avionics applications. Changes to the core documents, as well as understanding the corresponding supplements, can be a challenging task.

Todays abundance of consumer devices has given rise to the pervasiveness of embedded Linux systems. From the digital home and office to smartphones and tablets to automobiles with open source in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, Linux-based software is connecting people and devices like never before.

Builders of large-scale industrial automation systems must focus on several key system design requirements in order to implement robust distributed systems Architecture, Interoperability, Scalability, and Performance. OPC-UA provides a solution for addressing Interoperability for heterogeneous distributed systems from the network edge to the business enterprise.

Security defects that lead to exploitable vulnerabilities are often introduced during design and development either through in-house development, or outsourced and other 3rd party source code, including open source technology. The cost of fixing defects increases dramatically the longer they go undetected and security defects can become very expensive to fix for products already shipped, up to 100-1000 times more.

Agile is a proven method for Information Technology (IT) software teams to deliver high quality software to satisfy stakeholders on time. Software teams pursue Agile because they need a method that can respond efficiently to change to the product under development.

As Operational Technologies (OT) like embedded devices, control and monitoring systems are increasingly integrated with Information Technology (IT) systems running in the back office, interaction patterns between systems are becoming more complex and diverse. Publish-Subscribe is the most commonly used messaging pattern for OT systems.

Embedded virtualization brings a new level of efficiency, flexibility, and security to the development of embedded devices. It enables developers to leverage multiple operating systems in a single device; it provides device and memory protection between virtual boards; and it makes it possible to configure resources to specific subsystems to improve utilization rates for key system components and cut costs.

Mercury Computer introduces an Open VPX blade utilizing Freescales T4240 28nm QorIQ Power Architecture processor that provides 24 virtual cores and 12 AltiVec engines in a single SOC device. Freescale and Mercury will provide technical details of the processor and how Mercury utilizes the raw processing power and exceptional performance per watt of the T4240 processor.

The world of enterprise infrastructure software is undergoing dramatic change. Driven by the need to improve efficiencies and optimize their businesses, companies that operate large, physical systems (sometimes called operational systems) at the operational edge are actively working to merge those systems with their IT business applications.

Moores law dictates that silicon performance will double every year and semiconductors have done a pretty good job at keep that pace. While the multi-core architecture revolutionized the way semiconductors keep pace with Moores law, legacy software inertia has been accelerating every time a new generation of converged product deploys.

The use of location and device identifiers helps app developers deliver better service and marketing to its users. But, privacy considerations are critical when utilizing these elements.

Many safety-critical developers are wondering what the newly released DO-178C document means to them, their organizations and their internal processes. Presentations by George Romanski of Verocel and Joe Wlad, FAA DER and Senior Director at Wind River will give the audience useful information on what they can expect when certifying software to DO-178C standards.
