Ways to break into your existing product designs

What if you’ve already got products that don’t have attention-getting interfaces with mass-market prices? Thankfully, we’ve thought of that. We’ve got ways for you to consider adapting your existing designs, starting with;

LDRA launches industry-first FACE Conformance Tool Suites

LDRA Launches Industry-First Tool Suites for Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Conformance and Software Quality. 

Boston, MA – September 16, 2019 – With the latest release of the LDRA tool suite, LDRA delivers industry-first FACE™ Conformance Tool Suites, enabling cost-effective development and verification of high-assurance, FACE-conformant software. These new software tool suites uniquely automate the process of evaluating software for conformance with each version of the released FACE standard (e.g., version 2.1.1 and 3.0), while at the same time enabling developers to improve the quality of their software through traceability, static and dynamic code analysis, and unit and system-level testing.
 

Ways to meet the relentless pressure to market faster

If you’re building a one-off product, code reuse doesn’t matter. That being said, you almost never use good code only once. Initial releases invariably get updated with new features and bug fixes, one product can lead to a family of products, and reliable code from older projects is often implemented into new incarnations. So if you’re writing code with a plan to throw it away, you’re doing it wrong.

Ways to meet the relentless pressure to release products faster

Designers often use one set of tools (such as Adobe Photoshop) to craft the look and feel of a UI and another set for prototyping (like Adobe Experience Design). Developers then use a third toolset (often C/C++) to implement the final product. All of these changes in tools, process, and workflow suck up time and introduce errors. Thankfully, there are tools on the market that can help create a streamlined design development process.

Critical consumer expectations; value for money

If the best products provide an excellent user experience, the best-selling products also provide excellent value for the money. With so many forces attempting to get a share of the consumer wallet, you need to build products that are “worth it”, and that usually means a bill of materials that’s as low as you can manage.

New NXP iMX8M COM Board for ARM Quad-Core

This new Embedded Artists' iMX8M COM Board provides a quick and easy solution for implementing a high-performance ARM quad/dual-core Cortex-A53 / Cortex-M4F based design. The Cortex-A53 / Cortex-M4F heterogeneous architecture enables the system to run an OS like Linux on the quad/dual-core Cortex-A53 and a Real-Time OS (RTOS) on the Cortex-M4F.

Critical consumer expectations that open wallets

Create products with both functionality and design in mind.
 
In the good old days when function trumped form, consumers had to live with difficult-to-use products like the much-maligned VHS recorder. Today, consumer preference for a product is increasingly determined by the quality of the user experience.

Effective software development for safety-related markets

Many products for such markets as household appliances, automotive, industrial and healthcare have regulatory requirements to be certified against functional safety (FuSa) standards. For example, IEC 61508 for electrical systems, ISO 26262 for the automotive industry, IEC62304 for medical systems, and EN 50128 for railway applications.

Within the standards, there are multiple safety integrity levels (SIL) that specify formal methods to be used during development for verifying that the application code, software components and toolchains are safe for the intended use.

In Connected Systems, the Software Development Lifecycle lasts a Lifetime

Until recently, the software development lifecycle generally ended at product release. Connectivity, however, has extended that development lifecycle to the lifetime of the product or as long as it’s in the field. Unlike isolated systems, the software requirements for products such as connected cars can change at any time, whenever changes occur in the product’s connected environment or a new security vulnerability is discovered.
Each newly discovered vulnerability implies a changed or new requirement that requires an immediate response. Revised code must then undergo static analysis and all impacted unit and integration tests need to be re-run (regression tested).

Top reasons why the embedded industry standardize on ARM processors, the GNU compiler and the Eclipse IDE

By Magnus Unemyr, April 2015
It is currently a very strong trend in the embedded industry to standardize on ARM Cortex devices, the GNU gcc compiler (with its accompanying gdb debugger), and the Eclipse IDE. I call the ARM, GNU and ECLIPSE combo “AGE”.

What are the driving factors for this strong trend? And what are the benefits for embedded developers to jump on the ARM Cortex, GNU gcc/gdb and Eclipse train? In my opinion, there are many benefits that provide embedded developers with great advantages.

How STM32 developers can speed-up development with a mouse-click

By Magnus Unemyr, April 14th 2015.
Computers today are fast, and I suspect yours is no exception. However, embedded projects tend to be larger and larger, now often comprising hundreds of C/C++ source code files. With the new STM32 F7 (the Cortex-M7 based STM32 family with 512KB or 1MB of Flash) for example, you have a lot of memory to fill with code. The same goes for the smaller STM32F3 and STM32F4 families too for that matter. And so, also with the most powerful PC’s, compilation time can be lengthy, which adds to development time if you develop incrementally with a lot of re-compilations of your application.

New Yamaichi SMARC Module Test Adapter

April 2015, Yamaichi Electronics has developed a new test adapter for the SMARC computer-on-module standard. It realises the perfect alignment of the contacts and allows for 100% contacting reliablity. Due to the use of spring probe pins very high contact cycles can be reached. 

Double your PC performance with much less power!

Nowadays, anticipating the ever increasing demands of data processing, your standard PC computational capabilities are often not enough. When extending the computational power of your PC using faster and more cores processors and/or graphical processor units, you typically also increase the power consumption of your PC dramatically. FPGA based acceleration platforms are a much better choice for this. The power-per-GigaFlop is orders of magnitude lower, and the accelerator implementation is much more optimized to meet the algorithm processing structure.

What happens if you combine your PC with an FPGA? We did the test!

eXtremeDB Embedded Database V. 6.0 Gains Speed, Scalability & Developer Flexibility

McObject's new eXtremeDB 6.0 embedded DBMS boosts support for “Internet of things” (IoT) with distributed query processing, which partitions a database and distributes query processing across multiple servers, CPUs and/or CPU cores. Performance is accelerated – dramatically, in some cases – via parallel execution of database operations and by harnessing the capabilities of many host computers. 
Such “horizontal partitioning” may be designed into new systems, and is also the natural outgrowth of once-autonomous embedded systems and devices becoming interconnected, enabling data aggregation from diverse locations. Demand for distributed query processing cuts across embedded systems segments, and is especially relevant to the automation and control field, with usage scenarios that include smart energy generation systems that query data from wind turbines’ accelerometers to measure ‘wobble, and transportation systems that optimize traffic flow based on local data collected from thousands of vehicles and infrastructure control points. Other enhancements in eXtremeDB v. 6.0 include support for Wind River’s avionics platforms (VxWorks 653 and VxWorks CERT); data compression for both in-memory and on-disk databases, reducing storage costs to lower cost-of-ownership; improved encryption; more flexible transaction scheduling; Python language integration; Trigram database index support, to facilitate “fuzzy” or near matches between text strings; and a covered index option, which adds the ability to store key values in b-tree indexes of in-memory databases.
