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?

Axiomtek: energy-saving 3.5-inch Embedded board with N270

Axiomtek’s new low-power SBC84833 is a small footprint single board computer that is configured with the Intel Atom processor N270 at 1.60 GHz, FSB 533 MHz and the Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset with the ICH7M.  The 3.5-inch embedded platform enables many new power-efficient applications to be considered and deliveries robust performance-per-watt for cost-effective embedded solutions.  The Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset comes with the Generation 3.5 Intel Integrated Graphics Engine, and the Intel GMA 950, which provides enhanced graphics support over the previous generation Graphics and Memory Controller Hubs.  It supports CRT and LVDS LCD dual-view displays, and delivers high-bandwidth expansion capability with one MiniPCI Express for custom system configurations.  The full graphics feature makes it a prefect solution for digital signage, kiosks, POS terminals, thin clients, and digital surveillance.

Measuring 102 x 146 mm, the SBC84833 3.5’s embedded platform comes with advanced connectivity and expansion interfaces including four powered COM ports (3 x RS-232 & 1 x RS-232/422/485), seven USB 2.0 ports, Mini PCI Express expansion slot, one Gigabit LAN port, two SATA-150 ports, one CompactFlash Type-II socket, PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, HD Codec audio, and Digital I/O (3 channel in and 5 channel out).  The highly integrated Realtek RTL8111DL 10/100/1000 Ethernet controller features remote wake-up function to increase cost-efficiency in network maintenance and management.  A watchdog timer is included to keep system running smoothly, the system requires +12V DC input.
