Blog Post:OS configuration

Colin Walls — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 00:14:45 GMT

I have always characterized the difference between desktop systems and embedded along the lines of “desktops are all the same; embedded systems are all different.” Although, if I think about platform based designs, this is less universal, but the distinction still mostly holds true. Commonly, I would cite this difference when considering the needs of embedded software engineers with respect

Blog Post:Help! There is a Medical UI Emergency!

Phil Burr — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 02:19:16 GMT

Ever since the launch of the iPhone there has been a focus on user interfaces (UI) in embedded devices. This initial UI focus was on consumer devices – initially other smartphones, but it then moved to other consumer products like TV and set-top-box. It is fair to say that Mentor has helped a significant number of the developers of these products create some pretty stunning UIs using Mentor’s own UI

This session reviews in detail all the facets of the make vs. buy and OS selection decisions - both technical and commercial - for an OS on an embedded design.

Event:TI Sitara ™AM335x ARM® Processors and Mentor Embedded Nucleus OS

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 07:00:00 GMT

Learn how the combination of TI’s new 720 MHz AM335x Sitara ARM Cortex-A8 processor and Mentor Embedded Nucleus RTOS are addressing the above issues. TI has recently introduced the Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 based microprocessor and with power consumption as low as 5 mW, the AM335x ARM processors raise the bar for high performance computing with low power consumption. Even better, the performance does not come with a big price tag- less than $5 at 100 Ku. When combined with Nucleus, embedded software developers can take full advantage of the low power features of the AM335x ARM processor by using Nucleus’ industry-leading Power Management Framework. Nucleus together with its AM335x BSP provides a complete Real Time Operating System optimized to meet the most demanding real time requirements for any AM335x processor design. With a scalable architecture, Nucleus can be configured to meet the specific bus, networking, storage and connectivity requirements with limited overhead. Nucleus offers comprehensive support for the AM335x processor enabling developers to get a jump start on feature development. Learn how Nucleus can be used to lower power consumption, simplify the software design and free-up processor cycles for your next high performance application based on AM335x processor.

Blog Post:A busy season

I am sure that it is the same in many areas of commerce. The summer vacation period draws to a close in late August or early September and companies suddenly realize that there is just one quarter left and some annual sales targets to achieve. So, October and November become saturated with marketing activities, seminars, conferences, etc. That is certainly the way it has been in the world of embedded

Blog Post:RTOS deployment

Colin Walls — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 00:42:55 GMT

Since the earliest days of computers, they have been used for real time control applications. In the 1960s and early ‘70s, it was common to use a small mainframe or a mini-computer to control machinery or instrumentation. These computers typically ran under the control of a specialized operating system, which was designed for real time use. Examples include RSX-11 and RT-11, which were used on DEC PDP-11
