May 8, 2008[Embedded in Electronic Design] Will Virtualization Save The Day?
Will virtualization save multicore? Will it be the answer to a really secure system? It might. Designed to run on a single core, virtual- machine hypervisors give developers multiple virtual cores. Developers don’t need to care about whether there are enough physical cores available from an application standpoint. Of course, with more cores, you get more run time for virtual cores. But this doesn’t change how the applications are written or how they ...

May 8, 2008[Embedded in Electronic Design] Microcontroller Combines LCD And Touchscreen Support
MICROCONTROLLER COMBINES LCD, TOUCHSCREEN SUPPORT Freescale’s Controller Continuum received another bump with the addition of the ColdFire MCF5227x LCD family of chips, based on the V2 core. A V3 version is available with a compatible but different peripheral complement, so the pinout isn’t the same. The MCF5227x includes an LCD controller that handles SVGA displays (800 by 600) and a resistive touchscreen...
