Embedded Systems Design Europe - May 2008 - (Page 3) THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL FOR THE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS DESIGNER www.embedded.com/europe MAY 2008 VOLUME 12, NUMBER 90 Cover feature: Building an ‘instant-up’ real-time operating systems BY MICHAEL DORIN Here are three ways to build an instant ‘up and running’ RTOS for use on any target system. «14 An architecture for reusable embedded systems software BY DINU P. MADAU News ● Microsoft provides embedded roadmap News ● Enea buys developers ● Irish start-up raises funds for telecom FPGAs News ● Kontron promotes COM Express Nano ● Mentor Nucleus platform provides UI for Atmel News ● Small form factor boards head for the SUMIT ● Profibus advances IO-link integration News ● Embedded developers cautious on multicore ● Auto cooperation improves test ● Altera launches DO-254 partner network Feature «6 «8 «10 «12 «13 18» BY REGGIE CONLEY Want to make your application software more reusable? Don’t change the hardware, operating system, or your tools. Change the architectural framework in which you do your design. «30 Circuit sensitivity in analog circuits BY MARK FORTUNATO Free up bandwidth in PCI Express Eliminate unnecessary design steps, boost system throughput, and get some ‘free bandwidth’ by using simple dual-casting techniques. Delve deep into the mathematics of filters and their sensitivities to component variations, using tools such as Monte Carlo analysis to determine how much a filter’s transfer function will vary. «22 Evaluating software in medical devices BY RAQUL JETLEY & PAUL ANDERSON Feature «36 Choosing flash memory BY VIJAY K. DEVADIGA To NAND or NOR. That is the question. Different applications and functions should be handled with different types of flash memory. 26» Researchers at the FDA’s Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories investigating new techniques for analyzing software in medical devices are using static analysis tools to uncover potential flaws in a device under review. New Products A round-up of the latest hardware and software. «40 «43 Advertising contacts http://www.embedded.com/europe
