	Energi Technical MontaVista(tm) Fast Boot - Linux boots in 1 second or less at the Embedded Masterclass MontaVista to demonstrate Linux booting in 1 second or less at the UK Embedded Masterclass http://www.embedded-masterclass.com, Cambridge May 7th, Bristol May 12th. .. MontaVista Fast Boot is a Linux technology that allows you instantly display your real world critical data on the screen in 1 second or less. Why it is that so important? Because it is an imperative in most safety critical applications mainly found in Automotive, Industrial or Mil/Aero domains to have your vital system data available to the user instantly after the system is powered. It could be engine check or gear info in a car, temperature and pressure readings for power plant or sonar data on a plane.It means that you have appropriate interfaces enabled and functional within 1 second, and be able to supply real data to update your graphics within 1 second. For example this could be drivers like CAN/MOST bus for automotive or ARINC/MIL1533 in the aerospace case. Techn...	Full version Date : Apr 24, 2009

Does your system require single ended TTL or CMOS level signals? How about medium speed Analog data capture [ADC 1-10 MHz]? The Conduction Cooled PMC compatible ccPMC-Parallel-TTL has build options to have up to 64 independent digital IO and up to 8 ADC channels. The high density makes efficient use of precious PMC slot resources. The IO is available for system connection through the rear [Pn4] connector. The rear panel IO has a PIM and PIM Carrier available for rear panel wiring options. The HDEterm68 can be used as a breakout for the rear panel IO when the PMC carrier has a SCSI style connector for the rear IO. The HDEcabl68 provides a convenient cable. The pin definitions are consistent with the PMC Parallel IO and PMC Parallel TTL designs to enable users to migrate to the ccP...	Full version Date: May 05, 2009

	Enea Enea Launches Innovative Solution to Jump Start Embedded Linux Projects The Services Based Embedded Linux Platform Delivers an Optimized Development Foundation that Reduces Risk and Accelerates Development.... Enea®, one of the industry´s leading suppliers of embedded Linux expertise, announces an innovative offering to jump start development of embedded Linux projects where performance and unique requirements are of central importance. The Enea Embedded Linux Project Framework (ELPF) is an entirely new approach that offers the core components, tools and services that are common to virtually all Embedded Linux projects in a single, one-stop package. Additional packages and components that are not widely used are available as required. For many embedded Linux projects, commercial Linux offerings have either too much software or not enough structure. Commercial distributions are often packed with every conceivable Linux package requiring extensive editing down of the software before...	Full version Date: May 07, 2009
	SYSGO Embedded Linux leader SYSGO joins OSADL Mainz, May 7, 2009 SYSGO, provider of ELinOS, the well known industrial grade Linux product, joins the Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL). .. SYSGO, leading supplier of industrial grade embedded Linux, has joined the Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL). Both organizations share the goal of collaborative development of open source solutions for the benefit of developers in the industrial automation market. Many OSADL activities, such as enhancement of Linux real-time capabilities, development of support packages and stacks important to the industrial market, and looking ahead to safety critical Linux, are related directly or indirectly to SYSGO's ELinOS development efforts. This commonality of purpose has led to SYSGO's recent decision to join OSADL. The goal is to improve mainline Linux, and consequently ELinOS, to make it even more suitable for industrial and embedded applications than it is today. <...	Full version Date: May 07, 2009
	SYSGO AG SYSGO and Vector Software partner to offer unique solution for safety-critical applications Mainz, Germany and East Greenwich, RI, April 30, 2009 SYSGO announced today a partner agreement with Vector Software. SYSGO is a leading supplier of software solutions for the world´s most demanding safety and s... SYSGO is expanding quickly and sees an increasing demand for its innovative and certified solutions in numerous markets. For safety-critical customers, the use of a certifiable RTOS is essential but not sufficient. Certification of the complete system requires processes and tools of the highest quality. Vector Software has developed an expertise, and field-proven testing tools that perfectly complement the PikeOS development environment. The key component of the partnership will be the integration of the VectorCAST tools with the eclipse-based development environment CODEO provided within PikeOS. "When we discuss the challenges of certification with our customers, they always stress the need for an integrated development environment and comprehensive toolset", said Jacques Brygier...
