Reference Platform Puts Linux In Network Devices OEMs in many markets are embracing Linux for its cost and time-to-market advantages. Of course, Linux also carries the benefits of being an open-source platform. Now, Wind River Systems is impacting the communications market in a big way with the introduction of its reference design release of Platform for Network Equipment, Linux Edition. This platform includes a complete Linux reference file system with a rich set of networking middleware and applications. Because the... — Staff March 2005 [New Products] Embedded Modules Form Powerful RF Engines The ability to exploit higher wireless data-transmission speeds lets OEMs maximize the value of adding wireless connectivity to end products. To that end, Sierra Wireless's dual-band EM5625 embedded module comprises a powerful and reliable wireless engine that can be integrated into a wide range of mobile devices. The module is the first Sierra Wireless product to incorporate Qualcomm's MSM6500 Mobile Station Modem chip set. It therefore provides high-speed, high-capacity wireless data... — Staff February 2005 [Design Application] FPGAs Build Bridges To Wireless Connectivity The need for wireless connectivity in embedded systems is growing. In general, connectivity is becoming widespread as consumers and enterprises alike become accustomed to having continual access to information resources. As a result, information appliances like PDAs are adding capabilities for voice and data transmission. This connectivity allows more traditional embedded systems to report information to a central clearinghouse and obtain information from outside sources. In addition,... — Bernhard Andretzky October 2004 [News] Mobile Multimedia Gathers Speed With a single mobile device, today's consumers can create their own multimedia worlds. They can enjoy streaming video and audio, digital photography, and 3D gaming almost anywhere they go. In fact, mobile devices are now the sole targets of many... — Nancy Friedrich October 2004 [New Products] Graphical-User-Interface Module Eases Integration For embedded mobile system developers, creating user interfaces usually takes time and energy that would have been better spent on areas like product differentiation. Amulet Technologies hopes to simplify this step with its new compact display... — Nancy Friedrich July/August 2004 [New Products] Operating-System Support Grows With Processor Many designers are using the ColdFire processor families from Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (www.freescale. com). Now, those engineers have an automated development tool suite at their disposal. The integration of commercial real-time operating... — Staff June 2004 [News] DSP + ARM Device Seeks Portable Data Terminals Often, people think that the wireless space is comprised solely of cell phones, PDAs, and wireless-networking devices. In truth, however, such products represent only a segment of this market's far-reaching potential. Take the fast-rising... — Nancy Friedrich June 2004 [Product Features] ESL Tools Enable Early Software Development Software development is the critical link in the development of today's embedded wireless applications. Some estimates place software creation at 50% to 70% of overall product-development costs. To remain competitive, wireless designers must be able... — John Blyler April 2004 [Product Features] C-Code Algorithms Infiltrate Hardware Few areas of embedded design are more challenging than the development of mobile wireless products. In this arena, designers must carefully balance overall performance issues with power consumption and time-to-market pressures. The tools that can... — John Blyler April 2004 [New Products] Application Processor Brings 3D Gaming To Life Video mail and phone services are expected to become a big hit in the consumer marketplace. Meanwhile, mobile-phone users can already enjoy advanced applications like online gaming. To inspire the growth of these sophisticated applications, Renesas... — Nancy Friedrich April 2004 [Column] Wireless Design Should Be About System Analysis The wireless industry is eagerly adopting platform-based design methodologies for digital baseband and application chips. Typically, such platforms consist of vendor-provided processor and IP blocks. Wireless and other value-added logic is designed in... — Anssi Haverinen February 2004 [Cover Story] Transceivers Make Wireless Easy The desire for wireless embedded communications is quickly gaining ground. After all, wireless technology gives users unrestricted access to different locations. At the same time, it eliminates the need for costly wiring. Consider, for example, a... — Cheryl Ajluni February 2004 [Show Coverage] Electromagnetic Software Eases Design The successful analysis of high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) circuits is critical to a whole host of wireless applications. Such analysis is needed for the design of microstrip and stripline circuits, planar spiral inductors, RFIC and MMIC... — John Blyler February 2004 [Show Coverage] Platform Device Boosts ARM-9 CPU Development The ARM-7 CPU has remained the workhorse of most mobile wireless devices. Now, it's easier to develop with the more powerful ARM-9 processor, thanks to Fujitsu Microelectronics America's Multi-CPU Evaluation Device. Named the MB87Q1100, this device... — John Blyler February 2004 [New Products] Mobile-Design Solution Fills Development Needs It seems that the creation of mobile-computing devices may have just gotten easier. In part, the credit for this improvement should go to the new Metrowerks OpenPDA platform and CodeWarrior for OpenPDA Application Development Tools. The OpenPDA... — Nancy Friedrich November/December 2003 [Design Application] Wireless Security Re-Invents Itself Again The face of computing is being changed by innovations in wireless technology. For example, users are no longer bound to the traditional "wires" that made up their computing environment. Thanks to technologies like Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs),... — Victor Chang October 2003 [News] PA Module Urges Smart Phones To Diversify Modern cellular phones perform a varied array of tasks. They can connect to the Internet, take and send photos via e-mail, and keep their users organized and on time. Meanwhile, innovation in personal communications and handheld computing is forging... — Cheryl Ajluni July/August 2003 [Design Application] The Quest Continues For The SDR Holy Grail The Holy Grail of software-defined radio (SDR) is flexible bandwidth combined with a flexible air-interface system. Such a combination could be tuned across a broad RF band that is capable of both time- and frequency-duplex operation. The technology... — Bob Plunkett July/August 2003 [New Products] Personal-Mobile-Gateway Devices Bridge Gap A new category of mobile device is being unleashed on the wireless world. Called a Personal Mobile Gateway or PMG, this device type combines cellular (e.g., GSM/GPRS, CDMA, etc.) and short-distance wireless (e.g., Bluetooth or other technologies... — Staff June 2003 [Column] Are Wireless SystemsDevoid Of Grace? One of the hardest lessons to learn when designing wireless devices is the tenacious nature of wireless connections. For example, physical objects like buildings, tunnels, and canyons—both rural and urban—can adversely affect the RF... — John Blyler  prev. page
