Take five minutes to hear from the Embedded Expert on key topics embedded engineers struggle with daily.
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.
An Architecture for Embedded Security: Learn how Green Hills Software is working with Intel to help embedded developers balance growing feature requirements while still maintaining security and reliability.
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.
Securing Android Based Systems: Next generation multimedia mobile devices are an increasingly critical productivity tool. But with open mobile access comes IT management and security concerns. As this video describes, the INTEGRITY Multivisor architecture can deliver a secure multi-OS solution for the enterprise.
Multicore: 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.
