Xilinx introduces the Spartan-3AN FPGA platform, combining the performance and functionality advantages of SRAM-based technology with reliable non-volatile flash technology in a single-chip solution.

Serious robot developers will want to take a look at White Box Robotics' PC-BOT. Technology Editor Bill Wong tears down this new robot platform.

Toshiba's TMP89FS60UG/FG 8-bit general-purpose microcontroller is the first product based on the company's TLCS-870/C1 core. The core processes one instruction cycle per clock cycle, enabling faster processing at lower frequencies, reduced noise, and lower power consumption compared to the previous-generation core.

Segger Microcontroller Systems has added support for the ARM RealView Microcontroller Development Kit to Segger's embOS real-time operating system.

Today, developers are using software to implement an increasingly large portion of electronics systems. This shift in focus means that the software component of electronic systems now dominates the cost and the schedule — especially the schedule risk — of every project.

iRobot's Roomba carpet cleaning and Scooba floor cleaning robots are a commercial success. Plus they're fun, and hacking a Roomba is a robotic pastime! With iRobot's Create, roboticists can now build on iRobot's platform without having to contend with the cleaning units. Technology Editor Bill Wong takes a look at the Create's hardware in this article.

Technology Editor Bill Wong explores the robotic possibilities of Lego's Mindstorm NXT robotics platform.

Robots are cropping up all over! They're underfoot, like iRobot's Roomba carpet cleaner, or exploring Mars, like NASA's twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity. Working with robots is getting easier with the kinds of platforms that Technology Editor Bill Wong examines in the first part of his series on robotics. Check out Lego's new Mindstorm NXT, iRobot's Create, and White Box Robotics' PC-BOT.

Dialogic Corp. brings out seven new media boards compatible with the PCI Express bus architecture to allow solution providers to adopt the PCI Express architecture with little or no change to existing products. With full backwards compatibility, the boards offer developers, OEMs, and system integrators a broader choice of the latest servers on which to deploy their solutions.

VMetro displayed three new high-performance recording products at Bus and Board: the solid-state VMDrive, the PMC-FPGA05-ADC1 module for high-speed data acquisition, and the Vortex M6000 VME/VXS recorder for storing incoming data.

Primarily focused on Serial RapidIO at the Bus and Board show, Tundra discussed the transfer of RioLab to Fabric Embedded Tools (FET), a leading provider of RapidIO software and tools provider.

Taking advantage of Radstone's savvy in the embedded market, GE Fanuc parlays its new acquisition into the release of four new boards.

When I tell people that I’m going to Nuremberg to report on the Embedded World exhibition, about 50% of them respond with the line; “that must be a bit of a trial.” You’re right. It’s not that funny and even less so when you’ve heard it as many times as I have. So, okay, I’ve been to Nuremberg lots of times covering electronics exhibitions and conferences, and I have to say it’s a great city and the Nuremberg Messe is a good exhibition venue.

VadaTech pushes into MicroTCA with a variety of AMC modules, including the AMC602 storage module and the AMC340 dual-channel DVI/VGA AMC video processor board, which supports resolutions up to 2048 by 1536 pixels.

Micro Memory offers the Othello MM-1650, based on a pair of 2VP70 chips, each with two embedded PowerPC processors. The board has a pair of XMC/PMC sites, one for each chip, and features 14 independent memory arrays.

IAR Systems will feature the recently released IAR PowerPac middleware family, IAR Advanced Development Kits for STR912 and LPC 2148, and IAR KickStart Kits for microcontrollers, including the latest ones for Luminary Micro Stellaris and for Renesas H8. IAR will also unveil a new concept for an integrated suite.

Cirrus Logic's EDB9315A kit includes a 200-MHz EP9315 ARM9-based microcontroller that is optimized to handle multimedia compression and decompression. Technology Editor Bill Wong takes a look at this Windows CE/Linux development platform.

The 10th anniversary edition of Green Hills Software's Integrity RTOS incorporates several features that address the demanding performance and reliability requirements of complex next-generation devices.

Techwell has developed a number of new solutions for the In-Car Display market to respond to the growing demand for display related applications like navigation, DVD entertainment and back up cameras in the car.
