CRENSHAW OO14 www.embedded.com JUNE 2008 VOLUME 21, NUMBER 6 Jack gets to the meat of the Matrix class. break points Faster! BY JACK G. GANSSLE OO53 Cover Feature: BY BILL NEIFERT Virtual hardware platforms for embedded software validation A hybrid approach to conﬁguring a virtual hardware platform enables developers to explore all facets of the system long before it’s built. How will embedded systems engineers survive the demands of the future when the industry is already asking 500% from each of us? Are there ways to cope? O O22 Allocating memory in MATLAB-to-C code BY ROBERT YU departments #include OO7 Maybe now my mom will understand BY RICHARD NASS Look for the Embedded Systems Conference's keynote videos on Embedded.com. 30R R BY PAUL URBAN MATLAB frees you from having to think about memory allocation and actively encourages the use of variable-size arrays. But memory, time, and hardware constraints limit how the C implementation allocates memory. Here are some workarounds. parity bit OO10 guest editor OO48 Is the Internet still hardware-independent? BY JIM TURLEY The Web is becoming an Inteland Microsoft-centric medium. Is this a good or bad thing? It all depends. MDD and IDEs: Making the twain meet in embedded systems design Whether your development team is model-centric or codecentric, here’s a product that combines both modes of working into one. advertising index marketplace OO52 OO55 in person ESC Boston Hynes Convention Center October 27–30, 2008 www.embedded.com/esc/boston/ O O37 Avoid a thrashing BY ERNEST MEYER on-line www.embedded.com EMBEDDED SYSTEMS DESIGN (ISSN 1558-2493 print; ISSN 15582507 PDF-electronic) is published monthly by TechInsights, 600 Harrison Street, 5th ﬂoor, San Francisco, CA 94107, (415) 947-6000.
