4th Generation Intel Core Processors
across form factors & applications
In this webinar ADLINK and Intel share insights
into the power efficiency, performance and graph-
ics advantages provided by the 4th generation
Intel Core processor family and how they can be
applied across form factors and vertical markets
with ADLINK solutions.
Isolated 4-Channel, Thermocouple/RTD
temperature measurement system
This Circuit Note introduces a completely isolated
4-channel temperature measurement circuit op-
timized for performance, input flexibility, robust-
ness, and low cost. As all „Circuits from the Lab“
from Analog Devices, this reference circuit is en-
gineered and tested for quick and easy system
integration. It supports all types of thermocouples
with cold junction compensation and any type
of RTD (resistance temperature detector) with re-
sistances up to 4 k
Ω
for 2-, 3-, or 4-wire connec-
tion configurations.
Dense FPGA processing engine with
high bandwidth interconnects
FPGA-based processing is often used in airborne
sensors, where space and weight are premium.
This White Paper describes one such processing
platform supplied by VadaTech. In this application,
multiple sensor inputs are fed into a highly con-
nected FPA cluster and the result output over Eth-
ernet. Being a mil/aero application, it was originally
assumed that the most appropriate platform
would be VPX, but in this instance a MicroTCA
solution provided both size and cost benefits.
Gateway to new horizons:
Intel Atom E3800-based Qseven
and COM Express modules
congatec goes Bay Trail: In this two short webinars,
congatec Marketing Engineer Zeljko Loncaric in-
troduces the new Atom E3800-based Qseven and
COM Express modules.The new conga-QA3 Qseven
modules based on the Intel Atom processor E3800
family provide twice the performance over its
predecessor plus an optimized product lifespan.
The also new Atom E3800-based conga-TCA3
modules offer an attractive entry price for COM
Express. The Intel Atom processor E3800 product
System-on-Chip family (formerly Bay Trail) offers
much higher level of graphics performance than
previous generation of embedded Atoms.
HPEC proof-of-concept delivers
breakthrough I/O data bandwidth
High performance embedded computing (HPEC)
has made tremendous leaps in performance and
capability, with new implementations adding to
the advancements. However, a major challenge
for HPEC platforms remains, “How do I get more
high-bandwidth data to the processors?” Kontron
took a major step towards solving this problem
with its HPEC proof-ofconcept (PoC) platform,
which delivers 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) equiva-
lent data transfer rates via PCI Express 3.0. The
platform delivers breakthrough I/O data band-
width in a small footprint for next-generation
embedded radar/sonar applications.
Rules for the production of
high quality C++ code
This document is presented by PRQA and defines
a set of rules for the production of high quality
C++ code. The guiding principles of this standard
are maintenance, portability, readability and ro-
bustness. Justification with examples of compliant
and/or non-compliant code are provided for each
rule. On 3rd October 2013, High Integrity C++,
HIC++ , one of the most respected, longest es-
tablished and widely adopted C++ coding stan-
dards, marked its 10th anniversary with a the
publication of major new update (Version 4.0)
which extends its scope to cover C++11 and be-
yond. Over the past decade a staggering 24,000
copies of this coding standard have been down-
loaded. This standard adopts the view that re-
strictions should be placed on the use of the ISO
C++ language without sacrificing its core flexi-
bility. This approach allows for the creation of ro-
bust and easy to maintain programs while mini-
mizing problems created either by compiler di-
versity, different programming styles, or danger-
ous/confusing aspects of the language...
Embedded processors for next
generation HMI solutions
Renesas’ RZ/A1 embedded microprocessors offer
solutions for creating sophisticated HMI imple-
mentations for the “smart society” of the future.
The ARM Cortex-A9 based RZ/A1 series comes
with the most on-chip RAM in the industry: 10
MB. Nowadays more and more HMI applications
have display requirements, such as smooth zoom-
ing of 2D graphics and touch screen capability,
so there is a strong demand for support for
WXGA display, higher CPU speed, enhanced 2D
graphics functions, and so on. The RZ/A1 Series
meets these demands by providing vastly im-
proved functions and capabilities compared to
the previous SH7260 Series products. The large
on-chip RAM capacity means that the internal
memory is sufficient to handle instruction codes
during program execution and large volumes of
image data required for HMI applications such
as graphics processing.
Securing transport and rail networks
Both law and logic dictate that networked trans-
portation systems must be as secure as possible.
But there are other transportation systems - for
trains, buses, heavy industrial equipment and
other rolling stock—that aren’t part of a closed
control loop and that utilize widely available
commercial interfaces, including Wi-Fi, 3G/4G
cellular, USB, Ethernet, RS232 and RS485. These
are non-mission critical systems that may include
passenger counting, asset management, and GPS
location. “One example is a project we’re doing
for DC Metro,” explained Kurt Hochanadel, Cor-
porate Product Marketing Manager at Eurotech.
“They have a wear leveling project where we’re
reporting the wear level on the wheels of the
trains. We’re actually on the wheels, measuring
wear and reporting to theirback-end asset man-
agers through a Wi-Fi access point technology.
