Wind River is working with Intel to address the issue of complexity when it comes to programming multicore processors in embedded systems. The software platform supplier believes there is a need for closing lining of software and hardware in the design of embedded multicore-based systems. “The pace of multicore technology adoption has been slowed because hardware and software vendors have ...

STMicroelectronics has moved its 8-bit microcontroller range to the 24MHz performance range. The STM8S105 and STM8S207 8-bit MCUs will also run at 2.95V supply voltage. The STM8S platform shares its peripherals’ definition with the 32-bit STM32 families. So designs can be moved to the higher performance 32-bit MCUs more easily should the need arise. This is a new 8-bit MCU ...

Embedded board firms Congatec and Curtiss-Wright Controls have been quick to design the heavy-duty version of the Atom processor with extended temperature range into industrial modules. Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing is using the Intel Atom processor Z5xx series on its recently introduced ruggedised VPX3-1100 ATOMIC board family. Congatec has added heavy-duty industrial versions of its COM Express products with modules based ...

STMicroelectronics and Luminary Micro continue to push ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontrollers into the low cost embedded market with new versions offering wider interface support. As Embedded World 2009 exhibition starts in Nuremburg, STMicroelectronics has added a full-speed USB on-the-go (OTG) interface to its range of Cortex-M3-based STM32 microcontrollers. Dubbed the STM32 Connectivity Line, it also includes an Ethernet interface featuring hardware support for ...

Wind River is offering Linux support for Altera’s Nios II embedded processor. The Linux software platform for the Nios II processor is based on Linux 2.6 kernel technology, the GNU 4 tool chain and the Eclipse-based Wind River workbench development suite. The intention is to offer an integrated, network-enabled processor-system reference design that boots Linux on power-up. Implemented on a Cyclone ...

It supports all obligatory JTAG instructions (SAMPLE, EXTEST, BYPASS) as well as INTEST. Additionally, arbitrary user register accesses can be defined

PCIe designs will include the supplier’s first four-lane PCIe-to-local bus bridge chip (GN4124) and the quad multi-rate repeater/re-timer (GN1406), aimed at embedded PCIe applications

IAR Systems has announced the latest version of its Embedded Workbench for ARM Cortex-M3-based processors. This latest version introduces debug capabilities for Cortex-M3 processors that were previously only available in dedicated devices and costly debug probes. Version 5.30 also supports source code compliance checking to the MISRA-C:2004 standard, for high integrity applications such as automotive as well as support for the ARM Cortex ...

NEC’s latest 16-bit flash microcontrollers come with integrated LCD drivers and are designed for use in battery-operated handheld medical diagnostic instruments, building utility meters for gas, water and electricity as well as applications in factory automation. The microcontroller series, which is available from distributor Gleichmann Sunrise, includes 80-pin 78K0R/LF3, 100-pin 78K0R/LG3 and 128-pin 78K0R/LH3 and features an extremely low standby current consumption of just 1.2µA when the LCD ...

Amid hundreds of new microcontrollers launched this week at Embedded World, two UK companies took a new spin on their devices - Cyan and its eCOG controller, and FTDI and its Vinculum chip.
