Model-Driven Design for Embedded Systems
presented by Accelerated Technology
Getting quality product to market on time is the name of the game. You owe it to yourself to understand the software development tools that can dramatically increase your productivity. This talk will introduce a proven approach to collaborative development which will reshape software development as much as the discovery of high-level languages.
Windows® XP Embedded Technical Seminar
presented by Arrow Electronics
Come hear about the embedded operating system that enables you to rapidly build powerful devices using the power of the Windows operating system in componentized form. Once you've completed this session, youll be ready to build your own devices using the Windows Embedded Studio set of tools.
Physical Layer Switches Replace Manual Patch Panels presented by Curtiss-Wright Controls
Physical layer switches can replace manual patch panels in any communication lab or video center. By automating the connections, these switches can lower capital equipment and operation costs, decrease configuration and reconfiguration times by wiring once and decrease timeto-market on products/projects. Join us as we discuss how physical layer switches can make interop and test labs more efficient and cost effective.
Managing Development Environments presented by DDC-| The choices faced by software teams today are overwhelming - languages, IDEs, operating systems, mixing legacy code and new development, to name a few. Now vendors are making choices that enable managers to choose a road on which choices may be deferred or mixed. POSIX makes it possible to plug code into a number of RTOS’s, and the Eclipse IDE integrates many tools into a common IDE. The SCORE Eclipse Plugin gives mixed language capability to real-time embedded systems with or without a full RTOS.
Moving from 8-bit to 32-bit MCUs
presented by Keil Software
Experienced 8-bit developers are always looking for a more power-
ful MCU. With per-chip costs dropping rapidly, 32-bit ARM-powered devices are now a logical, attractive choice for many embedded applications. However, the complexities of 32-bit hardware and software development may seem monumental and answers elusive. This seminar addresses these issues while demonstrating the ease with which new ARM developers can quickly begin to develop and test applications using the Keil Development Tools for ARM.
Developing Device Drivers for Microsoft Windows CE presented by Logic Product Development
Basing new products on the Microsoft Windows CE Operating System allows developers to leverage an entire industry worth of software tools, applications, and libraries. Despite all of this pre-built software, embedded engineers will often find themselves developing one or more custom device drivers for their Windows CE platform. This session will feature what this development effort entails. Topics will include the Windows CE device driver model, using existing drivers, documentation, debugging, and launching your new device driver.
Mastering MDA Composable Systems Bouillabaisse
presented by Objective Interface Systems
Bring your requirements and tools and together we'll create a savory real-time dish, steeped in technology yet palatable to management. Using the Finest Ingredients: 2C Real-time CORBA base, 2C Data Distribution Services. 1 Part Partitioning Communications System,
and 1 Dash communications stack of your choice. Directions: Fold together CORBA and DDS until well composed. Add PCS security to accreditors taste. Simmer with DO-178B seasoning. When certified, top with Common Criteria Sauce, and serve up the profits.
9:45 - 10:30 am
Decision Criteria for Choosing Windows vs. Linux for Real Time Development presented by Ardence Gain an in-depth understanding of the benefits and pitfalls of choosing Linux vs. Windows-based solutions. How ‘free’ is Linux? Can Windows provide hard real time performance? We will test the myths and share the facts about both platforms with respect to features, support, licensing, debugging, costs, and development tools.
uTCA - A System Architecture for All Industries
presented by Motorola
Advance Telecom Communications Architecture is an emerging standard that was developed to target telephony applications. Engineers have been investigating other non-telecom applications specifically military and aerospace and are finding a far-reaching and open foundation. A new mezzanine standard, AMC developed to supply I/O to highly reliable ATCA applications, will be the foundation for a new type of system architecture, MicroTCA.
Avoiding the Most Common Software Development Goofs presented by Coverity
As embedded software becomes larger and more complex, developers are increasingly challenged to deliver better-quality code. Having worked with thousands of developers and scanned hundreds of millions of lines of code, we will present the most common embedded software coding errors. We'll also show developers how to avoid these mistakes with good coding practices.
The Role of an OS & Network Stack in Designed High Reliability Networked Devices presented by Green Hills Software Join us for a technical discussion on the role of an operating system
and network stack in designed high reliability networked devices. We'll discuss networking requirements as well as implementation details to provide performance, uptime, and response time guarantees for embedded systems.
Linux for Embedded Systems presented by LynuxWorks We will demonstrate how you can develop with Linux in all your embed-
ded designs, from general purpose, to hard real-time, to safety critical and secure systems. You will learn how to develop multiple applications using the same API and with the same tools regardless of the operating systems
requirements for the end product.
Utilizing PCI Express Technology presented by One Stop Systems New PCI Express technology offers tremendous performance and architectural benefits for industrial, instrumentation, communication and military applications. This session will describe the key features of PCle, and provide an overview of the many form-factors the new technology
is being used in. Particular focus will be paid to the new capabilities of PCle over a cable, network architectures and system configurations utilizing CompactPCI Express board-level products.
Strategies for High Speed Data Acquisition presented by Pentek We'll discuss how FPGAs, switched fabrics and high-speed A/D technologies are being exploited in next generation COTS real-time systems. Topics include the implementation of the new industry standard VXS switched fabric backplane; streamlined synchronization capabilities for beamforming and direction finding systems and more.
The Transition to Multi-Core: Is your Software Ready?
presented by QNX Software Systems
We will explore the benefits of multi-core processors, such as increasing performance, reducing MIPS per watt and reducing system footprint. Dual-core processors are already available and future generations will move beyond two processing cores. While multi-core processors are rapidly becoming a reality, is your software ready to handle the transition? To date the majority of software has been developed for uni-processor systems. Learn how the innovative features of our Momentics Multi-Core Edition helps you preserve your existing software base while migrating to multi-core processing environments.
