• High frequency synchronizer design with programmable mean-time-between-failure capabilities February 14, 2012
  The author describes a high frequency synchronizer circuit with programmable mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) cababilities that is well suited for high frequency clock gating and input signal synchronization applications. View the full article HERE. […]
• A new way to do firmware development on programmable devices February 8, 2012
  In this Product How-To article Mark Saunders describes a new methodology for doing firmware development for the Cypress’ Arm-based Programmable SoCs, using the company’s PSoC Creator in combination with Arm’s uVision IDE.View the full article HERE. […]
• Fixing concurrency defects in multicore design February 8, 2012
  There are compelling reasons to move to multicore processor designs, but doing so introduces the risk of concurrency defects in the software. Apparently innocent code can harbor nasty multithreading bugs that are notoriously difficult to diagnose and eliminate when they occur. Paul Anderson of GrammaTech offers methods to avoid these problems.View the full a […]
• Developing and building systems using OpenVPX Profiles January 31, 2012
  Here is how systems can be implemented using the standard Profiles defined by OpenVPX and what you need to consider when weighing OpenVPX versus other existing legacy system interconnect standards.View the full article HERE. […]
• Controlling network flow with the OpenFlow protocol January 31, 2012
  A new twist on network flow processing gives network administrators programmatic control of network flows to strategically place traffic where resources exist. Here’s why you may be building the open-source specification OpenFlow (or similar protocol) into routers, switches, and other devices to realize the benefits of Software-Defined Networks.View the full […]
• ANSI/VITA makes computer-on-modules mission-critical January 24, 2012
  While embedded system designers struggle to meet high demands in compact mobile or mission-critical computers, an ANSI/VITA standard takes computer-on-modules to new levels of rugged performance.View the full article HERE. […]
• Agile development of real-time systems January 23, 2012
  In this Product How-To Henk Muller of XMOS uses the company’s dual Xcore architecture to illustrate his argument that given a predictable underlying processor architecture, agile development is very well suited to real-time software.View the full article HERE. […]
• Mobile Internet basics: IkeV3 and MOBIKE January 17, 2012
  In this series, the authors of “Building the Mobile Internet“ provide a tutorial on extending Internet connectivity into mobile networking by using extensions of protocols such as IPv4 and IPv6 as well as mobile specific protocols such as DSMIP, IKEv2 and MoBIKE.
