Take a few minutes to watch and learn from embedded experts at Green Hills Software as they discuss some of the challenges that embedded engineers confront every day and demonstrate solutions to help overcome them.
More than a Lonely Bug Finder: Change the way you develop by putting the debugger to work early in the development cycle. Having the debugger front and center on your desktop, and not used only as a lonely bug finder, results in quicker, clearer software understanding.
Debug in Minutes, Not Days: See methods of quickly and effortlessly running backwards in time to the origin of a bug, even non-reproducible, heinous bugs that take weeks or months to replicate.
OS Visibility—Seeing is Believing: See a unique visual display of operating system events during debugging to help track down bad interactions and also during optimization when a quick show of operations saves a boatload of time.
Benefit or Challenge? Learn about two ways to navigate multicore systems: Asymmetric Multiprocessing and Symmetric Multiprocessing. Also, find out how embedded developers in different industries are integrating the power of multicore.
Multicore Sweet Spots: Learn which applications can best benefit from the increased performance, parallel processing capabilities, and reduced hardware requirements that multicore promises. Also, view a real-life example of multi-threaded code.
Multicore Tips and Tricks: Find out what embedded software tools are required to leverage the benefits of multicore processing, including an SMP RTOS, powerful embedded development tools, and prioritized thread-safe code.
Shared Accelerated 3D Graphics: A demonstration of how a single 3D GPU on Intel Atom can be securely and reliably shared between a GENIVI GuestOS OpenGL 3D application and a native INTEGRITY hypervisor OpenGL 3D application.
In-Vehicle Infotainment for Intel® Atom™: Combining Intel Atom processors with the INTEGRITY RTOS creates a reliable environment for next-generation in-vehicle infotainment platforms.
Securing Android Based Systems: The open access of multimedia mobile devices also introduces IT management and security concerns. As this video describes, the INTEGRITY Multivisor architecture can deliver a secure multi-OS solution for the enterprise.
Dual Persona Android on an i.MX53 Tablet: The INTEGRITY Multivisor solution provides a trusted virtualized platform for a commercially-available tablet featuring two securely separated Android environments:personal and corporate.
