HCC-Embedded Releases Failsafe, FAT-Compatible File System
Journaling File System now Available for Safety-Critical Applications.
HCC-Embedded, the foremost provider of file systems for embedded applications, today announced the release of SAFE-FAT, a full-featured, hig...
SAFE-FAT is a journaling system that guarantees that all operations will be carried out in a fail-safe manner. If the system resets unexpectedly for any reason, it returns in a coherent, consistent and usable state. Therefore, when data in a file are modified (using seek or append for instance), the original file is not modified until either a file flush or file close is called. At this point the file state is switched atomically and the new data become valid. This applies equally to all operations that modify the content of the file, such as file write, file delete, create/delete directory, rename, etc.
If a storage medium uses SAFE-FAT and it is reset or is moved to another device running SAFE-FAT, then the system works cleanly, without loss of data and without corruption of the ...

VMETRO, a leader in embedded computing solutions based on standards such as VXS, VPX, XMC and FMC that utilize multi-gigabit serial interconnects, today announced a five slot VPX/VXS portable tower enclosure and backplane to accelerate and simplify VPX system integration and development. A challenge of developing with VPX is there isn´t a "standard" VPX backplane which will result in delays on many VPX programs while custom backplanes are developed. The VMETRO VPX/VXS portable tower directly addresses this challenge giving engineers and software developers a head start on their integration and application development. The backplane´s design enables full exploitation of the massive backplane bandwidth of VMETRO´s FPE650 quad-FPGA and HPE640 hybrid-PowerPC/FPGA VPX boards whi...
