CodeWarrior Development Studio is one of the most robust Integrated Development Environments (IDE) in the debugging industry; allowing highly automated visual framework for complex embedded applications. The combination of flexibility and scalab...
Joe Alderson reports from Embedded World 2012 in Nuremberg: With a rare chance to leave the Farnell/element14 stand and take a trip around the rest of the exhibition, the final day of Embedded World 2012, intended for students and academic...
By Robert Thompson Last week, Google announced the launch and availability of Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. The first product that will use the new operating system will be the Galaxy Nexus from Samsung, which was created in...
By Jim Trudeau Sometimes real gems are hiding in plain sight. We are bombarded by data, and who knows what brilliant discoveries we miss in the cacophony of noise. A friend might point out something. “Hey, have you seen…” and c...
Here is a short video that explains the procedure for booting VxWorks OS on Stratix III Dev. Kit using MP32 IP core. The video does not have audio instructions. We are in the process of updating the video with audio instructions. Comin...
By Jim Trudeau Freescale covers a lot of territory horizontally – industrial, consumer, networking, medical … the list is long. Our technological breadth and depth is immense as a result. We’re famous for it. So what? You are always right to ask...
The traditional approach to picking silicon involves data sheets; matrices of features; at best, a complex spreadsheet of all the many parts with all the many options laid out. Let’s call this the “top down” approach. You have to already be somewhat...
Earlier this week a friend told us he was having hard times when installing his codewarrior on a brand new PC..."maybe he were doing something bad" you might think, but no...After a few tries (and failures), we start thinking this was related to some...
So back in November 2009 I posted an article about my starting to play around with RTOS to grow in my technical knowledge. I must confess something: I haven’t really played with MQX or others as much as I would have liked…at least not during 2010. Bu...
The title should not be a surprise here in the USB Community since SuperSpeed USB is now in the market. Still this is a news for developers working on this. Talking about SuperSpeed USB, the USB 3.0 standard claims that i...
Here is a sample application that we have created using the CoreCommander board for mass storage on Altera FPGA. The video given below does not have voice. You can read the comments and view the mass storage implementation.

The aim of this project is to control a Robotic Arm which is mounted on to the Traxster. Wii Nunchuck is used to control Robotic Arm and Traxster. We are just using the two buttons and the Joystick and this data is been transfers wireless...
Embedded software engineers only need to know one programming language to get through life: C. Most embedded software projects are written in C. So that leaves most other languages out of use (I insist, for embedded programmers). I ...
for my project i produced a security locking device where a new code was generated every hour. it used a one way encryption alogithm, to scramble the time and key data producing a new password. it has a number of features including admin login to gen...

Going into the 2011 Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley I was looking forward in particular to seeing and hearing more about new MCUs and ecosystem developments. The show did not disappoint. If there was one product to capture “bes...
Copper based ICs have reached nano-meter densities, with wire so small, that no current seizes to flow. The University of Cambridge professors John Robertson and Santiago Esconjauregui have devised a possible future solution. They are growing C...
Spacecraft and rockets with no personnel onboard are controlled by people on the earth's surface. There is one major issue with this arrangement, time to action responses. When a rocket's onboard sensors discover an error, it relays the inform...
CRISP has developed a multi-core processor that will test and repair itself, sort of. There is an on-board resource manager that will test to see if a core is malfunctioning, and if so, send the tasks to a functioning core. The idea is to creat...
“As electronics become more advanced, we are approaching the point where conventional materials like copper can’t take the heat. For computing to go faster and electronics systems to become more capable, better cooling solutions s...
The purpose is to watch the person who made the lunch, make it, while you eat it. And also, so the preparer can watch you eat it. A never ending cycle. Researchers at Ochanomizu University have embedded a camera and LCD touchscreen into a lunch...
The XIM 3 stand for XBOX Input Machine version 3. For those who do not know, the XIM 3 allows for a keyboard, mouse, joystick, and other USB based devices to be adapted to the console. But that is not the end of the device's features. In ...
www.youtube.com/watch Missouri University of Science and Technology is resolved to make a handheld scanner that can see through anything. Similar to airport scanners, this hand held camera used millimeter and microwave signals to peek inside. In...
Samsung has taken DRAM to a whole new level, 12.8GB/sec, a great increase over the former LPDDR2. In the process, reducing power consumption by 87%. The increase in data transmission is due to the increase of I/O pins to 512 from the 32 the pri...
