STMicroelectronics’ adds the ST7FLITEU0 8-bit microcontroller with more memory and features to its ST7 UltraLite family of compact, economical 8-pin MCUs.

Technology Editor Bill Wong wraps up the 2007 Embedded Systems Conference

Microformats are increasingly improving Internet browsing, helping turn the data on a Web page into something more accommodating for machine-to-machine interaction.

Although Huddleston specifically covers the dsPIC in this book, it is general enough to be used as an introduction on digital sensors for any DSP or DSC platform.

Do people really want TV on their cell phones? The demand might not be there yet, but manufacturers and carriers are working hard on delivering TV to handsets despite the small screen. Telegent Systems' TLG1100 and TLG1130 single-chip TV receivers should make that happen a lot faster. There are two methods for bringing TV to cell phones. The first uses the existing cell-phone network to deliver Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). Available now from carriers like Verizon, it consists...

The PP 421/23x dual-processor, 6U, CompactPCI single-board computer made by Concurrent Technologies features two 1.66-GHz Intel Dual-Core Xeon ULV processors.

Version 5.5 of Genuitec LLC’s MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench expands the company’s Fusion Technology platform. This updated IDE includes a ready-to-run stack, customizable how-to applications, a popular tool expansion pack, and workspace-free SNAPs that let users access their favorite tools anytime and anywhere without environment or lock-in restrictions.

After nine years and 52 days, the Mars Global Surveyor orbiter broadcast its last communication with Earth on Nov. 2, 2006. Eleven hours later, depleted batteries left the spacecraft unable to control its orientation. Now, an internal NASA review of the mission has determined why those batteries failed.

Al Gore was a big hit as the keynote speaker today at the Embedded Systems Conference. I took six pages of notes, but I doubt I will be able to present it as eloquently or humorously as the former Vice President and “recovering politician” did. Hopefully CMP will post the presentation online. Photos and recording devices were not permitted.

The widespread introduction of multi-core architectures, most notably the Core 2 Duo from Intel, means that to take advantage of modern processors we must write multi-threaded applications that can do more than one thing at a time, and hence take advantage of the increase in processing power.

The C8051F Small-Form-Factor MCUs from Silicon Laboratories are well-suited for applications that require precision motion control and signal processing.

Agere Systems is now sampling its TrueStore PA7800 pre-amplifier IC, which brings its fast operating speed of 2.5 Gbits/s and lower power consumption to the new generation of hard disk drive heads.

Now in full production, the IES5501 two-wire bus buffer IC from Hendon Semiconductors is designed for extending and expanding I²C, SMBus, PMBus, IPMB, and similar two-wire bus systems.

Supplied in a small, lightweight OEM module, the SU640KTSX-1.7RT shortwave infrared camera made by Sensors Unlimited Inc. delivers clear, real-time video imaging in lighting conditions ranging from starlight to direct sunlight.

Need to get started developing on an ARM? For $99, iSystem AG has the package for you. The iF-DEV kit includes everything you need to get started. The small target board contains an ARM-based NXP LPC2138 microcontroller along with a USB-based JTAG debugger. Power to the target is provided by the JTAG’s USB interface.

Want fast Java programs? Then start with Aonix’s All-Java solution. It is especially good in hybrid environments that mix Java and C. In fact, replacing C code with Java executing in Aonix’s PERC Pico environment may actually result in significant performance advantages.

Wind River had a lot on its tables, including new and improved debugging support for its Eclipse-based Workbench. Some of the enhancements in version 2.6.1 include expanded debug support for the 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels and Wind River’s Linux 1.4 along with faster edit, compile debug workflows.

Fujitsu delivers solutions to a wide variety of applications but two major ones are the automotive space and consumer appliances. It has quite a number of new announcements and products on display but I will just touch on a couple of the more interesting ones.

Intel’s big announcement at the show was its Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5300 series, targeted at the embedded space and complete with long-term support. The E5335 and E5345 chips double the processor density of their older dual-core brethren.
