ITTIA: DB SQL advances in-memory data
management for Embedded systems
ITTIA announces new capabilities of ITTIA
DB SQL that empower embedded systems to
store a large volume of data in-memory for
processing and analysis. Applications use this
technology to find specific details in a very
large data set and perform complex queries in
seconds. Storing and retrieving large amounts
of data constitutes an important aspect of
managing any business. Decision-makers are
constantly challenged to extract insight from
real-time data to increase productivity.
Wind River: VxWorks MILS platform for
avionics communications system
Wind River announced Lockheed Martin relied
on Wind River VxWorks MILS Platform to
provide a separation kernel-based security
foundation for its new avionics communica-
tions system that was recently flight-tested.
Lockheed Martin’s independently funded re-
search and development effort, called Project
Missouri, demonstrates how an open system
architecture enables quick and affordable in-
tegration of new capabilities on multiple plat-
forms without major changes to the aircraft.
dSPACE: SYNECT data management
software with model management
Version 1.3 of the dSPACE SYNECT data man-
agement software adds powerful model man-
agement to its test, signal, parameter and vari-
ant management for model-based develop-
ment. Engineers, software developers and ar-
chitects using model-based design can now
manage system, function and plant simulation
models together with the associated interface
data, parameters and files.
Micro Digital announces smx vs.
FreeRTOS comparison
Micro Digital has completed a detailed com-
parison of smx, a commercial RTOS kernel, to
a typical free generic kernel called FreeRTOS.
Many people in the embedded community
believe that RTOS kernels are all equivalent.
This comparison shows that smx offers many
more and better features than a typical generic
kernel. What is not in the kernel must be de-
veloped in the application
SILICA: development board with Linux
optimised for Renesas RZ/A1H MCU
SILICA is launching a new ArchiTech devel-
opment board that offers a low cost streamlined
platform for Linux based designs. The Ar-
chiTech Hachiko board is supplied with a
Linux kernel optimised for the Renesas
RZ/A1H MCU, to work with a small memory
footprint together with a BSP for the on-
board peripherals, minimizing development
time.
Altium partners with Octopart in
Developer Program for Altium Designer
Altium announces a third party developer
partnership with Octopart, a provider of an
electronic parts search engine. Around 70-
80% of the life cycle cost for a new product is
a direct result of decisions made during the
design phase. This is because designers are
creating a blueprint for everyone else to follow
and is the reason why it is very important to
have the right information to make prudent
decisions early in the design process.
Atego combines model-based systems
and software engineering
Atego has launched Atego Vantage, an inte-
grated solution combining Model-based Sys-
tems and Software Engineering, Asset-based
Modular Design and variable Product Line
Engineering. The combination of these three
proven approaches into Model–based Product
Line Engineering can reduce development
costs by 62% and bring 23% more projects in
on time.
IAR Systems: updated version of devel-
opment tools for Freescale HCS12
IAR Systems releases an updated version of its
complete development toolchain IAR Embed-
ded Workbench for HCS12. Plenty of new
functionality is added to further improve ease
of use and make the workflow more efficient
for developers working with the 16-bit HCS12
microcontrollers from Freescale. In addition,
the IAR C/C++ Compiler incorporated in IAR
Embedded Workbench for HCS12 now uses
the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard, known as
C99, as the default C language.
SYSGO: integration of PikeOS with
Lauterbach’s TRACE32 debugger tool
SYSGO is announcing a new integration of
its certified RTOS/hypervisor PikeOS with
Lauterbach’s TRACE32 Debugger tool
that supports the debugging of ELinOS, its
embedded Linux product, running as PikeOS’
personality. PikeOS developers were already
able to use TRACE32 from Lauterbach, a
debugging capability that applies to a full
range of items, from bootstrap code to inter-
rupt routines and drivers. The new version of
Lauterbach’s Kernel awareness provides now
the possibility to debug any thread of ELinOS,
used as PikeOS Linux Personality, and in SMP
mode if needed.
