By Robert Dewar, President and CEO of AdaCore. Are you fit enough to compete? If you haven’t already considered how your company could get involved in the 2012 Olympics, perhaps it’s time you did. By Philip Ling. A Standard Individual: MISRA-C99 We had the first MISRA-C meeting of 2008 recently, with some new members. The group is now a little larger but not much. Small, dedicated teams work better than large teams of less dedicated people. It is the second proper meeting looking at MISRA-C3 though it has been called MISRA-C:2010 so we will see how far we slip!

Cost savings for safety-critical displays
Wind River and Esterel Technologies have entered into a partnership to incorporate formal design and development technologies into safety-critical software for the avionics industry. This will deliver advanced 3D graphics and video displays, utilising more data than ever before and requiring a new design process. Industry gears up for InfoSecurity Exhibition LSI Corporation, will be showcasing the Tarari T1000 series of silicon-based content inspection processors for networking OEMs, at the InfoSecurity Exhibition being held at Olympia, London, 22nd to 24th April. Aonix targets commercial RTOS Embedded real-time Java virtual machine provider, Aonix, has announced that its PERC Pico product has been ported to Wind River’s VxWorks, while the company has also joined forces with Green Hills Software to offer its PERC ‘Ultra’ virtual machine alongside GHS’ INTEGRITY RTOS. In-house SOC methodology released NXP has announced the availability of its internally developed CoReUse methodology and QCore tool, for licensing to the entire semiconductor industry through IPextreme. FPGAs with embedded PowerPC 440 start shipping Representing the fourth platform in the 65nm Virtex-5 family, Xilinx has introduced the Virtex-5 FXT, the first member to integrate the PowerPC 440 processor. It also includes the company’s high speed RocketIO GTX transceivers and dedicated Xtreme DSP processing capabilities. Alliance for sustainable wireless buildings formed With the potential for sustainable wireless communication solutions believed to be enormous, a group of companies across Europe and North America have united to form the EnOcean Alliance. Its mission is to enable intelligent green buildings based on energy harvesting wireless technology. WiMAX warm-up NextWave Wireless, a mobile multimedia and wireless broadband technologies provider, has announced it will use Agilent’s Wireless Networking Test Set to help accelerate the deployment of Mobile WiMAX devices based on the NW2000 chipset. Security alerts MPs on the Justice Select Committee have recently called for new laws to introduce heavy fines and/or jail terms to protect the integrity of personal data, according to a new study by David Ewen Marketing. POSIX compatibility proven QNX Software Systems recently announced that the QNX Neutrino RTOS has achieved certification for conformance to the POSIX PSE52 Realtime Controller 1003.13-2003 System product standard. MIPS moves to a multicore solution Multithreaded, multicore processor architecture offers higher performance but may lack power-saving features. Philip Ling reports. |
