Enabling interoperability in high-performance embedded applications

OpenVPX expands on the VPX Base and Dot Specifications and provides a System Specification to address interoperability issues between VPX modules and Chassis. OpenVPX is an extensible specification which addresses the current and future needs for computing in harsh environments.

Risk management for counterfeit materials

Counterfeit materials will continue to challenge the defensive capabilities of manufacturers in the military and aerospace industry.

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?

Cypress and Keil: compiler options for PSoC Creator IDE

PSoC Creator uses schematic-based design capture along with certified, pre-packaged peripherals to keep system creation independent of the target PSoC device. It includes free compilers from ARM— the Keil CA51 Compiler for PSoC 3 and the GNU GCC-ARM Compiler for PSoC 5 are both bundled with the PSoC Creator distribution. In addition, the new Keil µVision4 IDE and Debugger are available for use with the Cypress PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 devices. The environment has been designed to enable faster, more efficient program development and verification. The flexible window management system introduced in µVision4 enables developers to use multiple monitors and provides complete control over window placement anywhere on the visual surface.

For the new Cypress PSoC 5 devices based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor, Keil offers an upgrade to the full version of their Microcontroller Development kit, MDK-ARM. MDK-ARM features the industry-standard compiler from ARM and sophisticated debug and trace capabilities that use the advanced features of the Cortex-M3 processor in the PSoC 5 device. For the Cypress PSoC 3 devices based on the industry standard 8051, Keil offers an upgrade to the full version of their Professional Development Kit for the 8051 architecture, PK51. The PK51 kit provides a complete software development solution for Cypress PSoC 3 customers.
