E-cast: Letting Down Your Guard – Migrating To Protected Memory and Partitions

Programming on legacy embedded, real-time platforms often implies developing multithreaded applications that run in a single address space. The implications, obstacles, and risks are far reaching, time consuming and often severe. The alternative consideration is migrating to a platform which supports memory protection and partitioning of system and application resources. This is much more common and typically necessary in safety-critical platforms though often implying conforming to some rigorous specification. But what is the risk in the migration process? How is this going to impact the development schedule? Do I need to conform to a specification?

Please join us for this webinar which will provide an overview of the benefits and simplicity of adopting a more robust and secure platform no matter what category of application you are developing, safety critical or not. The webinar will discuss the fundamentals of this approach and inspire discussion on more advanced topics and considerations.
