 | | With today’s SoCs increasing in complexity, it’s no wonder the software needed to run on these devices is taking longer to create, adapt, and optimize for a given application on a given piece of hardware. No question practices and methodologies behind system design need to change. |
| In C and C++, it can be very convenient to allocate and de-allocate blocks of memory as and when needed. This is certainly standard practice in both languages and almost unavoidable in C++. However, the handling of such dynamic memory can be problematic and inefficient. For desktop applications, where memory is freely available, these difficulties can be ignored. For real-time embedded systems, ignoring the issues is not an option. |
| QNX Software Systems today unveiled the latest generation of its operating system and development tools for the automotive, industrial, medical, networking, and defense markets. |
 | | Patient monitoring devices can benefit from the user interface capabilities and real-time data collection provided by the combination of Android[ ] and an RTOS. | |
 | | Combining real-time and general-purpose operating environments on the same platform places stringent requirements on how virtualization[] is implemented. | |
| Wind River and Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing today announced the immediate availability of Wind River’s VxWorks DO-178B Platform, designed to meet the stringent safety certification requirements of the aerospace and defense industry. The new release of the platform includes complete DO-178B Level A certification evidence for a reference board support package (BSP) for the SVME/DMV-183 single board computer and additional processor support for Intel(tm) Core(tm) 2 Duo IA-32 and Power Architecture(r) e600 cores. This makes it easier for customers to migrate to new higher performance hardware and reduce their time-to-market. |
| As a former Army medical operations leader at a detainee camp in Iraq, U.S. Col. Roman Bilynsky acknowledges the importance of the deployed medical recording system (MC4) in helping military physicians keep quality checks in place for patient care. |
 | | Embedded devices are progressively becoming access points to cloud services. | |
| At a workshop in November jointly sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory, Micro-RDC and ViASIC, attendees from eight companies took designs through all stages of the development flow, each producing a GDS-II file ready for fabrication |
| Micro Digital Inc. is pleased to announce that smxWiFi, first released in June of 2008 has been upgraded to support 802.11n (high speed) and additional chips sets from Ralink. smxWiFi now provides support for USB WiFi dongles using the Ralink RT2500, 2573, and 2870 chipsets. In addition it now supports PCI bus WiFi cards using the Ralink RT2860 and 2870 chipsets. |
