Early verification and validation using model-based design

One of the primary benefits of model-based design is the opportunity to do rigorous verification and validation in parallel with all other development steps, especially early in the development process.

Smarter products - software becomes the most active ingredient

As software becomes the most active ingredient in product innovation, traditional manufacturers are essentially becoming software companies. While this transformation is sparking unprecedented leaps in product value, it is also introducing new challenges and implications.

Building ultra-slim embedded systems with Em-ITX

Building a slimline or thinline embedded system can be a difficult task or a relatively simple one depending on the form factor chosen for the task. But how slim is slim enough?

Nexcom: Embedded CPU boards for vertical markets

Nexcom has launched a range of embedded CPU boards aimed at Automation, Multimedia and HMI/Kiosk applications. All products are designed for 24-7 operation and enjoy long-term CPU support. For graphic intensive multi-media applications, Nexcom has launched the EBC 550 5.25” embedded CPU board with Intel GM45 with GMA 4500MHD Graphic Engine. EBC 550 can support a wide variety of high power CPU’s including Intel Core 2 Duo and Celeron M and supports DDR3 1066 MHz DRAM memory. With support for dual display and expansion via PCIe x16, PCIe x4 and PCI, EBC 550 can be integrated into a wide variety of graphic intensive machinery/equipment. Typical applications include video streaming, image processing, visual inspection and face/feature recognition.

For machine builders looking for an off-the shelf embedded computing platform suitable for automation applications EBC 360 is the ideal solution. EBC 360 is a 3.5” embedded board with an on-board Intel System-on-Chip Tolapai processor 1200/600MHz with 256KB L2 cache. With a variety of features such as 1 x VGA, 2 x GBE LAN, 1 x IEEE 1394, PCI 104 connection and 2 x CAN Bus ports, EBC 360 will find uses within automation type applications within a diverse range of industries.

EBC 540 is a 5.25” embedded CPU board which has been specifically designed for use within Digital Signage and MHI devices. Based on the on-board Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor with 512 KB L2 cache by 533 MHz FSB, EBC 540 features the Intel 945GSE and ICH7-M chipsets, which supports DDR2 400/533 memory. With integrated GMA950 graphics for large display applications EBC 540 can support dual independent display in either VGA/LVDS, LDVS/DVI-D and Dual LVDS configurations.
