 | Pierre Teyssier, Sierra Wireless Jan. '12 A helping hand from Embedded Application Frameworks eases design pressures for M2M developers. Rolf Neugebauer, Netronome Systems, Inc. Jan. '12 Part one of this two part series takes an introspective look at the processors that will be used to facilitate the migration to 40G, 100G, and beyond. Maneesh Soni, Systems Manager ARM microprocessor group, Texas Instruments, Inc. Dec. '11 Texas Instruments is world's first semiconductor company to license EtherCAT technology and integrate it into the Sitara AM335x ARM generation of ARM Cortex-A8-based microprocessors (MPUs). This whitepaper explores implementation of this technology on the AM335x processor through its programmable real-time unit (PRU)-based programmable technology to create a unified front-end for industrial communications and bring EtherCAT and other industrial standards to its growing platform of ARM-based microprocessors Michael Posner, Product Manager FPGA-based prototyping solutions, Synopsys, Inc. Dec. '11 RTL simulation is no longer capable of providing all of the verification required for today's complex designs. Modern systems are a complex mixture of hardware and software, digital and analog, and the boundaries of the system are often difficult to define Tony King-Smith Dec. '11 A cloud portal and connected processor enable the end-to-end infrastructure necessary for integrating solitary devices into the ubiquitous connectivity of the cloud. Todd Mozer, Sensory, Inc. Dec. '11 Improvements in embedded speech technology yield a five-step Voice User Interface (VUI) capable of hands-free, eyes-free voice recognition. Christine Van De Graaf Dec. '11 By upgrading cores as application demands evolve, systems can scale for greater functionality. Planning ahead for future generations of a specific device – maximizing opportunities to innovate and get to market quickly – means designers must understand when to upgrade designs from legacy standards to next-generation COM Express Curt McNamara, Logic PD Dec. '11 Managing the power budget with current-measurement software can streamline the progress of a battery-powered design, balancing the scales of size, efficiency, and consumption. Michael McNamara, Cadence Design Systems Dec. '11 SystemC-based Transaction-Level Models (TLMs) ease communication and synchronization between software and hardware design teams. Warren Webb, Editorial Director Dec. '11 Virtualization software facilitates the simplified design, easy upgradability, and increased optimization of embedded systems. John D'Ambrosia, Dell Dec. '11 The implementation of the IEEE 100 Gbps Backplane and Copper Cable Task Force precipitates the creation of specifications to increase signaling rates and establish a foundation for 100 GbE systems. Christine Van De Graaf Dec. '11 The open scalability of COMs provides smooth navigation to the next generation on the device roadmap. Freescale Semiconductor Dec. '11 The focus on safety-critical applications in both the automotive and industrial markets is significantly growing, bringing new and added pressures to systems engineers [...] Niek van der Pas, Minkels Nov. '11 Used correctly, PUE metrics optimize the data center environment. Guido Sandmann, MathWorks, Brett Murphy, MathWorks and Joachim Schlosser, PhD, MathWorks Nov. '11 Implementing these four best practices in Model-Based Design leads to early verification and decreased testing at the end of the development cycle.
