Static analysis tool has been enhanced with latest version
The latest version of Grammatech’s flagship static analysis tool, CodeSonar 4.2, has been introduced which finds critical software defects and security vulnerabilities in code. The tool has been enhanced to more effectively serve enterprise environments.
Online design tool receives an upgrade
eiSos developers can now simulate the power inductors from Würth Elektronik via the company’s updated RED EXPERT. The losses determined with RED EXPERT are based on current and voltage waveforms typical in applications. Besides the core and winding losses, they also include the losses arising from the specific geometries of the inductance, such as the air gap.
Getting a handle on embedded software development costs
Today’s embedded applications are requiring a staggering amount of functionality. Wireless connectivity, intuitive user interfaces, complex functional algorithms, plus an infrastructure suitable for managing these tasks simultaneously are all time consuming to develop, difficult to integrate, and almost impossible to thoroughly test. This means that the true software development costs of a product can no longer be extrapolated from the cost...
