Linux-Based UMTS/EDGE Reference Design Debuts According to industry research, Linux is ready to secure a significant share of the smart-phone market segment in the next design cycle. For designers who wish to get a jump on development for the growing UMTS/EDGE smart-phone market, there's now a smart-phone reference design based on Linux. Developed by Infineon Technologies, Samsung Electronics, Trolltech, and Emuzed, the reference platform showcases many advanced 3G and multimedia... — Lisa Maliniak March 2005 [New Products] 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 February 2005 [Design Application] Virtual Prototypes Cut Software Bottleneck As the software content in today's 2.5G and 3G phones rapidly increases, timely software development is becoming critical for product success. The traditional development flow—in which software design isn't started until after hardware design is complete or nearly complete—simply breaks down. The resulting design cycle is too long for the competitive wireless market. In addition, dealing with the hardware-software interaction after most of the hardware has been defined can yield... — Thomas Anderson , et al. November 2004 [New Products] DSP Goes From Algorithm To Implementation To implement algorithms, digital-signal-processing (DSP) developers have had to rely upon design flows that use manual approaches. Aside from being time consuming, the manual process can invite errors. To enable faster and more efficient DSP design... — Nancy Friedrich October 2004 [Design Application] Oversampling UART Reduces RF Noise In recent years, wireless communications have grown to encompass applications like remote control, remote sensing, and wireless local-area networks (WLANs). The data rates of such implementations vary from a few hundred to several million bits per... — Eli Flaxer October 2004 [Design Application] FPGAs Help Software-Defined Radios Adapt With the proliferation of wireless standards, future devices will need to support multiple air interfaces and modulation formats. Software-defined-radio (SDR) technology enables such functionality. It uses a reconfigurable hardware platform across... — Deepak Boppana , et al. September 2004 [News] Java Comes In A New Blend Mobile devices can thank Java for the popular mobile games, ringtones, and other features that are currently driving the handheld market. As smart phones and personal digital assistants are showing, however, Java also feels at home in the enterprise... — Nancy Friedrich September 2004 [Cover Story] Software Works So You Don't Have To Traditionally, the cover of Wireless Systems Design has featured a product, component, or design tool that in some way stands out from the rest. The cover product may flaunt lower power, lower cost, or higher performance. Or, it may have been... — Cheryl Ajluni September 2004 [Column] Hot Spot In A Box: The Missing Wi-Fi Link Joins With Linux A large gap exists in the wireless-product lines of most network-equipment manufacturers. That gap is one of needed functionality—in other words, access points that can be configured, monitored, and secured by standard network-management... — Kelly Abbott , et al. July/August 2004 [News] Consumers Vote On Future Games In the entertainment industry, previews are a common thing. Whether it's a new movie or the pilot episode of a potential television show, selected audiences get to offer their input on it. Now, consumers also will have a chance to preview and... — 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 July/August 2004 [New Products] ESL Tool Enables Modeling And Verification The promise of electronic-system-level (ESL) design tools rests on their top-down approach to development. In an ideal environment, engineers would easily model complex systems while maintaining full support for the C/C++ and hardware description... — 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 [News] How To Survive Doomed Software Projects Before reviewing the second edition of this book, I dusted off my copy of the original. It had served me well as a software-development manager. It had even helped me spot troubled projects that I should avoid. In addition, the first volume of... — John Blyler June 2004 [Column] Unit Testing Emerges As Software Necessity These days, bringing a product to market is a frenetic experience no matter how it's done. The combination of a narrow market-opportunity window and tight development budgets dictates severe constraints. So it's no surprise that software testing... — Scott Thomas 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 [Special Report] Common Challenges Lurk In Application Development The development of software applications that run on mobile wireless devices is a relatively young but growing field. The creation of these applications requires a set of skills that isn't commonly found among PC application developers. Those... — 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 [Column] Balance Hacker Crime And Punishment Is it really in society's best interest to impose severe punishment on young hackers? This question came about after the recent arrest of Jeffrey Lee Parsons. He is the teenager who wrote the variant of the Blaster worm that brought down thousands of... — John Blyler November/December 2003 [Design Application] Java Security Guards Embedded Networks From the beginning, the Java programming language was designed with security in mind. Yet developers remained suspicious about its secure nature. They were blinded by the novelty of a portable language that could transfer applications from system to... — Prithvi Rao  prev. page
