Arrow accelerates IoT endpoint creation
with new ARIS EDGE platform
Arrow Electronics has launched the ARIS
EDGE development platform, which lets
designers accelerate development of low-
power IoT devices such as smart sensors,
wearables, small appliances and battery-pow-
ered health care devices or other types of end-
points. ARIS EDGE provides hardware and
essential software components that enable
teams to get prototypes running quickly and
focus attention on application development.
Optimised for power-constrained IoT-edge
devices, it features a Renesas Synergy S124
32MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller.
AdaCore: GNAT Pro 17 development
environment for SYSGO’s PikeOS RTOS
AdaCore has released its GNAT Pro 17.1
development environment for SYSGO’s Real-
Time Operating System PikeOS. With GNAT
Pro 17.1, Ada users targeting PikeOS will see
a number of product enhancements, includ-
ing upgrades to the underlying code genera-
tor and debugger technologies (to GCC 6 and
GDB 7.10, respectively), better elaboration
order handling, improved stubbing in GNAT-
test, and enhanced debugger support in the
GNAT Programming Studio IDE.
Supermicro: new Atom C3000 portfolio of
Embedded and IoT systems
Super Micro Computer introduced a full
suite of all-in-one solutions optimized for
the growing Embedded Appliance, Intelli-
gent Datacenter and Network Edge markets.
Supermicro’s compact systems and mother-
boards optimized with the new Intel Atom
C3000 SoC feature lower thermal and power
requirements and can improve performance
by 2.5X compared to the previous generation.
N.A.T.: 2U MicroTCA.4.1 chassis for
telecom, industrial and high energy
physics
N.A.T. announced the NATIVE-R2, a power-
ful new 2UMicroTCA (MTCA.4.1, µTCA.4.1)
chassis that is particularly suited to telecom-
munications, industrial and particle physics
research applications. Supporting a single
MCH and power unit, the NATIVE-R2 can
accommodate six horizontally-mounted
AdvancedMC modules (five mid-size and one
full-size), up to five MicroRTMs and a JTAG
switch module.
Kontron: new boards and modules
powered by Intel Atom C3000
Kontron announced that the new Intel
Atom Processor C3000 product family will
power new Kontron boards and modules to
be released in late 2017. Products featuring
3rd-generation Intel Atom Processor technol-
ogy will comprise the Kontron COM Express
Computer-on-Module COMe-bDV7 in the
basic type 7 form factor and a Kontron Mini-
ITX motherboard.
AAEON: connecting the IoT one touch
panel at a time
AAEON launches the ACP product line, a
series of elegantly designed, highly custom-
izable touch panel PCs that will consolidate
system integration, IoT and smart home
applications, as well as providing a more flex-
ible option for product lifecycle management
and smart factory processes.
Cadence: tool suites optimized for Arm
Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 CPUs and
Mali-G72 GPU
Cadence Design Systems announced that its
full-flow digital and signoff tools and the
Cadence Verification Suite have been opti-
mized to support Arm Cortex-A75 and Cor-
tex-A55 CPUs, based on Arm DynamIQ
technology, and the Arm Mali-G72 GPU, the
latest offerings fromArm for premiummobile,
machine learning, and consumer devices.
MEN: software package for safe train
control system menTCS
The MEN Train Control System menTCS is
an open computer platform for automated
train operation and protection. With the
programming interface Y-COM, which is
now available, users can rely on a complete
software package, partly with SIL 4-certified
components. menTCS is a modular com-
puter platform developed for safe control of
all safety-critical functions in rolling-stock
and wayside applications.
HCC Embedded: software suits support
Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoCs
HCC Embedded added support for the Xil-
inx Zynq-7000 All Programmable system-
on-chip family of devices. Developers using
Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoCs now have access to
HCC’s entire suite of advanced flash storage
and communications middleware. Solutions
for Zynq SoCs include fail-safe flash file sys-
tems; MISRA-compliant TCP/IP, TLS, and
encryption; and USB with network integra-
tion, fail-safe bootloaders, and integration
services.
EKF: eight drive SATA SSD plug-in
cassette
An ever-expanding data volume requires
a reasonable storage solution for indus-
trial systems. With eight SATA ports via the
backplane, CompactPCI Serial systems are
perfectly equipped for this purpose. EKF
introduces the SDC-SATA cart, a plug-in unit
for eight 2.5-inch size SATA drives. The cas-
sette requires only 16HP (~80mm width) in a
3U system rack.
congatec: quick starter set simplifies
evaluation of COM Express Type 7
server-on-modules
congatec launches the new COM Express
Type 7 quick starter set as the fundamen-
tal basis for OEM’s modular micro server
designs. The new quick starter set simplifies
the evaluation of the first server-on-modules
designed in accordance to PICMG’s COM
Express Type 7 standard, poised to be glob-
ally deployed in cloud, edge, and fog server
applications.
VITA: OpenVPX systems standard
updated
VITA, the trade association for standard
computing architectures serving critical and
intelligent embedded computing systems
industries, announces the ratification by ANSI
of the third edition of the OpenVPX System
Standard under ANSI/VITA 65.0-2017. This
is a planned update to the architecture frame-
work that defines system-level VPX interop-
erability for multi-vendor, multi-module,
integrated system environments.
