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.
Forget the immediate history of Nuremberg. Sure it was the location for the war crimes trial of some of the senior members of the Nazi party. Sure it’s considered to be the city that ...
For the overseas visitor, Nuremberg is not as accessible as its exhibition rival city, Munich. Few flights go direct. An exception for English visitors is Air Berlin, which flies direct into Nuremberg from London Stansted. It’s good and it’s cheap. For the long-haul travelers, the best bet is to either fly to Frankfurt and then transfer to another short flight to Nuremberg or take the high-speed train. Alternatively, you can fly into Munich and then get the high-speed train from there.
My recommendation is to fly into Frankfurt. The train station is part of the airport complex. ...
For the Embedded World exhibition, IAR Systems has announced that it 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 PowerPac for ARM is the first product in IAR's new middleware family that comprises a fully featured, small memory footprint (2-kByte), a ...
The Embedded World Exhibition & Conference, being held this month in Nürnberg, has grown in a number of important ways, such as display space and an extensive international presence and attendance. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Sturm, director of the Embedded World Conference, said in November of last year: "The programme for the Embedded World Conference is complete. The embedded professionals can look forward to top presentations from all over the world." The organizers of the Electronic Displays Conference, to make its debut appearance in Nürnberg for the first time this year, are just as enthusiastic about their presentation ...

Digi International will launch its new range of JumpStart Kits at Embedded World 2007. These kits are aimed at revolutionising embedded design by enabling design engineers to develop products based on Digi modules at a very low cost, and therefore with a minimal initial risk.
Digi will also showcase its existing range of embedded device networking products and chipsets at the show. These include ZigBee modules from Maxstream, recently acquired by Digi, which are amongst the first modules to be certified by the ZigBee Alliance and application kits from Rabbit Semiconductor. Additionally, ...
Altera will present their embedded systems solutions for the industrial and automotive markets. Altera says its FPGAs offer high levels of flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and reduction in development time while eliminating the risk of obsolescence.
Using the configurable Nios II 32-bit RISC processor and the SOPC Builder system design tool, automotive developers can quickly create their own custom microcontrollers. These customized microcontrollers include hardware feature sets that can be tailored to match system requirements and avoid the risk of obsolescence that can be associated ...
Silicon Laboratories will present a total of four demos at the show, including two for recently announced products. One new product is an automotive MCU. The C8051F5xx automotive MCU family is comprised of high-performance mixed-signal MCUs in a small footprint, which is essential for many automotive electronics applications. With its high functional density, Silicon Labs hopes the C8051F5xx family of MCUs will provide customers with cost-effective and easy-to-use solutions for designing body electronics and other point-of-control applications, including power windows, doors, sunroofs, trunks, ...
