Upgraded shelf manager provides improved security functions
The ACB-V, a shelf manager from Pentair, has been upgraded to include the ShMM 700 module from Pigeon Point Systems. Supporting the latest Linux kernel, the ACB-VI shelf manager provides improved security functions and extended software functionality. The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) has been considered and upgraded. Using an FPGA, data integrity is improved via radial IPMI.
EVM enables HD projection in compact electronics
The DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM (Evaluation Module) is Texas Instruments' latest developer tool which enables quick assessment of the DLP 0.3” (7.62mm) TRP HD 720p video and data display chipset. The chipset is comprised of a DLP3010 Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), a DLPC3433 or DLPC3438 display controller and a DLPA2005 LED driver for power management
HMI kit accelerates prototyping process
Based on the RX63N and RX631 groups of MCUs, the ‘Display it! – RX HMI Solution Kit' has been released by Renesas Electronics Europe. Accelerating the prototyping and decision-making process, the 32-bit MCU RX based solution kit enables engineers to quickly evaluate and demonstrate HMI tools.
Workflow accelerates algorithmic designs in SoCs
Programming support for ARM-based SoCs, in the form of Release 2014b from MathWorks, is being offered by Altera. An automated, highly integrated model-based design workflow optimised for the company's SoCs is provided by the Release 2014b. Reducing development time, designers using this flow can accelerate their algorithmic designs in SoCs while remaining in a high-level programming environment.
Solution kit accelerates HMI application development
Based on the company's RZ/A1 family of embedded MPUs, the 'Display it! – RZ HMI Solution Kit' has been introduced by Renesas. Accelerating prototyping and decision-making processes, the solution kit enables engineers to quickly evaluate and demonstrate the leading HMI tools in the industry.
PLC reference designs are G3-PLC certified
A long-time executive member of the alliance, Texas Instruments' PLC (Power Line Communication) reference designs have been certified by the G3-PLC Alliance. This allows smart grid technology providers to be assured of compliance and interoperability when they choose TI’s system solution for G3-PLC applications.
CooCox toolchain is now compatible with STM32 MCUs
