Dual ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore Processing System Tightly Integrated with Programmable Logic Extends Embedded System Architectures for Higher Performance and Scalability

Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas, a business region of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), has inked a distribution agreement with H&D Wireless AB, a supplier of Wi-Fi solutions that enable wireless sensor and multimedia data access to the Internet.

Micro/sys continues to lead the way in the embedded single board computer world with the release of the high-performance, low-power SBC1651, an ARM Cortex-A8 computer board with StackableUSB. Having the Freescale Semiconductor i.MX515 CPU at its core, the SBC1651 consumes minimal power while operating at 800MHz and delivering the performance needed to run multimedia-rich applications in harsh and demanding environments . Its advanced RISC core and tight peripheral integration give the SBC1651 the competitive edge–making its 800MHz perform like 2GHz all the while satisfying the power efficiency required in battery-operated applications. The on-board StackableUSB I/O expansion with USB, I2C and SPI provides access to a wealth of plug-and-play off-the-shelf I/O boards with A/D, D/A, Zigbee, GPS, mass storage, sensors and other embedded I/O. All this combined with a wide range of software operating systems including WinCE, Linux[], VxWorks, and Android[], makes the SBC1651 ideal for new embedded systems designs or upgrading legacy X86 PC/104 systems.

QNX Software Systems today unveiled the latest generation of its operating system and development tools for the automotive, industrial, medical, networking, and defense markets.

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) announced that it has signed a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. naming Mentor Graphics as a key Freescale strategic commercial Linux[] partner.
