Express Logic, Inc., the worldwide leader in royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced that Express Logic’s ThreadX® RTOS and USBX™ USB Host/Device stack now support Luminary Micro's new Stellaris® LM3S3000 Series and LM3S5000 Series ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontrollers (MCUs), also announced today. ThreadX and USBX for the new Stellaris devices are designed for use with the ARM/Keil RealView® tools from ARM.

Altium continues to develop and expand the Altium Innovation Station – which combines the award-winning Altium Designer unified design software with the Desktop NanoBoard reconfigurable hardware platform – to bring device intelligence design solutions to electronics engineers.

Telelogic today announced enhancements to its market leading Model Driven Development™ (MDD™) solution, Telelogic Rhapsody®. The new features decrease time-to-market through the support of MDD best practices that do not disrupt current project workflow, and provide system engineers a way to leverage advanced visualization and prototyping capabilities to easily validate design correctness and effectively communicate intended design behavior.

Infolytica Corporation announces the release of two software packages, MotorSolve for IM and SRM, and important updates to MotorSolve BLDC and MagNet. MotorSolve IM and SRM are the company's new electric motor design software for induction machines and switched reluctance machines. MagNet, the industry's first electromagnetic field simulation software based on FEA, is most commonly used for designing a wide range of devices such as motors, transf...

Arrow has announced the availability of a three-phase motor drive application kit that provides all of the hardware and software needed to rapidly develop energy-efficient variable speed motion control designs based on motors with ratings to 750W.

IAR Systems has strengthened its support for Microchip Technology’s range of 16-bit PIC24 microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC33F digital signal controllers (DSCs) by adding native hardware level debug support, through the inclusion of the Microchip MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator System within its C-SPY debugger, an integral component of IAR Embedded Workbench.

As part of its commitment to supporting all major microprocessor platforms, Micrium has announced that its uC/OS-IITM real time operating system (RTOS) and uC/TCP-IPTM network stack have been ported to Analog Devices’ Blackfin family of microprocessors. The company’s uC/ProbeTM monitoring tool is also fully compatible with Blackfin processors.

A Serial Adapter from Sealevel Systems has 1,500VDC port-to-port isolation and protects systems from ground loops and voltage transients that are common in remote installations and industrial environments. If not planned for, ground loops and voltage spikes can cause loss of data, latent hardware failures, or even destruction of the serial card or other system components.

Altium Limited has donated licenses of its Altium Designer integrated electronics design software to FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) for use in its annual robotics design competition.

Altium Limited, a developer of unified electronic product development solutions, continues to expand its range of daughter boards for the Altium Innovation Station and its Desktop NanoBoard. Following hot on the heels of its recently announced Altium Innovation Station – which combines the Altium Designer electronics design software and the Desktop NanoBoard –Altium has released a new plug-in daughter board hosting a Xilinx Virtex-4 high-perf...
