We will demonstrate how to develop, test, and validate real-time control algorithms using Simulink and Stateflow, without needing to acquire development tool chains, building devices drivers, or board support packages(BSPs). We’ll discuss how to test these algorithms in simulation, and automatically generate code so they be integrated with the rest of your system. We will also show how to deploy your algorithms to a real-time system using an x86 compatible embedded platform, Real-Time Workshop, and xPC Target. Lastly, we will demonstrate how these algorithms may retargeted into a production environment.

Increasing software content and complexity in today’s embedded devices amplifies the risk of failure and complicates the process of achieving high confidence in safety and reliability. Traditional software testing methods are limited in scope and static analysis based testing produce high rates of false positives. Formal methods based abstract interpretation is quickly becoming the solution of choice, because it proves the absence of a defined set of run-time errors in code. By verifying code to be free of fatal run-time errors such as under/overflows, out-of-bounds array index, illegal pointer de-referencing and other run-time errors, software and quality engineering teams are able to improve the overall reliability of software. Learn how these new techniques can be applied to the development of critical embedded applications where software quality is at stake.

Have you experienced: -Products losing market share, or causing missions to fail, because they use too much Space, Weight, and/or Power (SWaP)? -High IT costs because multiple computers sit on your developers or operators desks to process data at different levels of classification, e.g. Unclassified, Secret, Top Secret? -Servers in your organization being hacked, costing unsustainable losses in productivity, reputation, dollars, or mission risk? -Customers mandating the use of a "Separation Kernel" or "Secure Hypervisor" in the systems you are building? -Customers requiring "certified" or "certifiable" "High Robustness" and/or "EAL6+" for your next project? We invite you to attend this seminar to learn how an absolutely secure operating system will benefit you and your team.

Do most embedded projects need an RTOS? Its a good question. The answer lies in the very nature of embedded devices. Devices that, in many cases, are manufactured in the thousands, or millions, of units. Devices where even a $1 reduction in per-unit hardware costs can save the manufacturer a small fortune. Savings aside, the services provided by an RTOS make many computing problems easier to solve, particularly when multiple activities compete for a systems resources. This session explores what is realtime, what makes a realtime system and when its needed. Attend and learn about some of the critical elements of realtime computing such as scheduling, priority inversion, interrupt handling and reliability.

There are several 100 drivers and modules in the Linux kernel distribution. Learn exactly how static source code analysis can help improve the quality and reliability of these (and your) modules. Come find out what static source code analysis is and see examples of analyzing Linux device driver sources.

We will show you how the latest innovations in copper and fiber optic-based PCIe 2.0 adapters can take your application to the next level while taking your costs to new lows. See how PCIe over fiber can network systems, expand system I/O capabilities, create data recording systems and create an ultra-low latency link for just about any application. Learn how PCIe over fiber compares to other networking protocols such as PCIe over copper, Infiniband and Ethernet as well as other storage protocols such as SCSI, eSATA, SAS and Fiber Channel. By migrating the already stellar performing One Stop Systems MediaVault high speed video storage systems, DiMeda ultra-high speed multi-stream video streaming platforms and the Talon 4 ultra-rugged, flight-worthy, military storage systems to the next generation of fiber-optic PCIe 2.0 cable technology, see how your storage application can truly fly at sustained throughput of up to 1.6GB/s. Learn about the PCI Express cable and fiber standardization efforts. Join us while we show you the latest fiber optic transceivers, copper and fiber-based HBAs and system-level innovations that make PCIe cable speeds up to 160GB/s and beyond possible up to hundreds of meters for networking systems, true real-time data recording and creating high speed distributed data and storage clusters. Whether your application is military, medical, broadcast, high-speed instrumentation, converged communications or simulation, you cannot afford to miss this free technology session.

With budgets tightening, understanding how to best increase ongoing productivity and cost-effectiveness has become an unending task. Standards-based systems, such as MicroTCA and CompactPCI, coupled with Linux OS and middleware, are emerging as viable embedded solutions for telecommunications as well as Aerospace/Defense applications. This session will focus on these issues and other considerations as today’s product development teams seek new avenues, approaches, and solutions to achieve both their product and business objectives.
