Embedded software speeds development of safety/mission-critical apps
BlackBerry and WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems announced a new embedded software platform that enables the development of safety-certified and mission-critical applications on heterogeneous system-on-chip (SoC) processors. As safety-critical systems within applications such as cars, medical robots and nuclear power plants become more autonomous, the development complexity increases, requiring a combination of both MCU and MPU-based processors. By […]
Embeddable DVR simultaneously records HD on two USB devices
The analog HD DVR Model 4023 captures JPEG snapshots without video interruption while it simultaneously makes HD recordings from two USB devices. Outputs are either HD or composite and are selectable from playback/review. The DVR can be operated wirelessly with an external WiFi adapter. The unit features real-time video overlay of date and time and […]
Dual, single-core digital signal processors optimized for big-memory apps
System developers designing high-end embedded control applications need flexible options to provide scalability as projects increase in complexity. To meet these needs, Microchip Technology Inc. announced new dual- and single-core dsPIC33C Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) with more options to meet changing application requirements across memory, temperature and functional safety. Microchip’s new dsPIC33CH512MP508 dual-core DSC enables support for […]
When asked the impossible, ask questions before proceeding
Sometimes a client will ask for the impossible and expect it at low cost. Or worse yet, the sales engineer in your company will win a project on a low bid because he/she thought it could be accomplished in a “creative” (but impossible) way. What if you were tasked with a wirelessly communicating embedded project […]
