Troy Smith, Director, Intel Intelligent Systems Alliance, talked with
executives of Wind River, National Instruments and Dell OEM
about their thoughts on IoT challenges and opportunities in the
healthcare, industrial control, mass transit, and energy markets.
Getting the most from ARM
Cortex-M3 and M4 microcontrollers
Page 14
This article provides a closer look at some of the
more interesting but often-overlooked features
found in Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers
(MCUs), as well as new M4 variants.
Opportunities and challenges
in smarter connected control
Page 18
Smarter connected control is needed to sat-
isfy the increasing commercial and con-
sumer demands of manufacturing, trans-
port and communications. Xilinx is address-
ing this challenge with the Zynq-7000 All
Programmable SoC, the first device inte-
grating an ARM dual-core Cortex-A9
MPCore processor with programmable logic
and key peripherals on a single chip.
Speed is the key to fast-moving
embedded markets
Page 28
Although market demands have accelerated with the growth of
the internet, it is possible to keep pace with them through smart
sourcing strategies that take advantage of off-the-shelf single
board computer technology. Maximising that advantage means
choosing a supply-chain partner best placed to put that technolo-
gy in your hands consistently.
End-to-end data access with
embedded OPC Unified Architecture
Page 30
Embedded OPC Unified Architecture (UA)
offers native open data connectivity that is
more secure, easier to integrate in multi-
vendor environments, and opens doors to
new markets, as demonstrated by AREVA.
