New regulation standards and form factors for embedded industry

Posted on July 15, 2013 by admin

To help embedded computer and OEMs meet extreme requirements for vibration, temperature, or other harsh environmental conditions, memory suppliers offer manufacturing advancements such as side retainer clips to ruggedize DDR3 SODIMM modules. These universally adaptable clips can be easily implemented on a variety of applications. In the embedded computer recent past, designers typically were limited to weaker, commercial-grade retainer clips to keep memory modules in place. Under certain conditions, these retainers can pop open and result in system-level failures. Other alternatives that involve mounting holes require significant modification to the mainboard, frequently resulting in a nonstandard COTS-based design that does not adequately address the problem.

All of these systems needed a small form factor, extremely rugged DDR3 module. This standard relieves designers from the former limitations of commercial-grade products that required soldering, straps, glue, or tie-downs to secure the module.

Reducing DDR3 VLP life cycle

Posted on July 15, 2013 by admin

Reducing the height of a DDR3 VLP embedded computer memory module to a lower-profile 17.78 mm solves the space-constrained limitations found in many telecom and networking applications, where it is difficult to accommodate the memory required for both an industry-standard DIMM or Mini DIMM socket plus a standard VLP. and networking blade systems typically face strict limitations on system height. In addition, these systems require spacing on top of the memory module to enable airflow for effective thermal management. Incorporating a reduced height DDR3L VLP memory module helps improve airflow and provides a low profile, allowing OEMs to offer higher-reliability products that reduce total cost of ownership. Specific DDR3L VLP modules also offer single refresh rates, which are now essential to embedded computer maximize performance in high-temperature systems.

Contemporary embedded computer market

Posted on July 1, 2013 by admin

 

The nowadays market provides a wide range of densities of its embedded computer memory card, 4 GB to 64 GB, with an integrated 16-bit NAND controller that offers more robust management and memory optimization compared to discrete NAND devices. An evolution toward 256 GB modules has already been defined. The next step will be the development of higher-density managed NAND memory solutions like Solid State Drive (SSD) modules and higher-performance 32-bit microcontrollers. All of Micron’s e•MMC devices are available in JEDEC-standard 100-ball, 1 mm pitch and 153-ball/169-ball, 0.5 mm pitch BGA packages, easing the embedded computer design and validation process that is critical to the fast pace of product development in the automotive segment.

Service you look for…

“If you want to have a embedded computer service, there are five essential characteristics you need to check off: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service,” Cloyd says. “Each of these is fairly straightforward for commercial cloud networks, but when applied to the Embedded Computer, each has unique challenges. [For example], self-service is about the provisioning of authorized users or services. One unique risk associated with self-service authorized end users is the role of insider threats. The embedded computer broad community has millions of users; the Army alone has 1.2 million core users.

On networking software boosts testing and traceability

Posted on May 7, 2013 by admin

As these devices grow in complexity, it has become a significant networking burden for project teams to confirm that software requirements have been tested and tests can be traced back to requirements. In many cases, even with extensive testing, teams might not know whether they have successfully met all of the product requirements.

Fifteen or 20 years ago, many Embedded Systems consisted networking of an 8-bit processor with a few KB of memory and perhaps a couple hundred lines of code. Today, the explosion of embedded systems in automobiles, ATMs, cell phones, and other devices has dramatically changed that dynamic. It’s not uncommon to see networking processors on an Ethernet network, running multiple applications totaling hundreds of thousands of lines of code in these systems.

Static analysis as a development testing model

About Embedded System:

Integration-time static analysis

Running static analysis during integration to detect low-hanging fruit and egregious errors is a good starting point for implementing a preventive strategy. Integration-time static analysis simulates feasible application paths without actually executing the code, which is very helpful for systems in which runtime analysis isn’t possible. Static analysis can test across multiple functions and files and catch common memory problems, such as uninitialized memory, overflows, null pointers, and so on.

Embedded PC, in vehicle PC, Industrial PC

In response to growing pressure to boost the performance and trim down the size of embedded applications, standards organizations meet regularly to optimize their portfolios in light of the latest available technology. These updated standards take advantage of new silicon architecture combining multiple processors, graphics elements, and complex I/O to deliver the next generation of preengineered, off-the-shelf modules to support many of the high-performance requirements of embedded product development.

These standardized computer platforms allow designers to trade in substantial savings in Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) and scheduling for slightly higher recurring costs. Standards-based designs also shortcut the software development effort by providing access to compatible operating systems, vendor-supplied drivers, and sample firmware.
