 | | The role that FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) have played in computer and communications systems has grown in parallel with the number of gates and the capabilities of these devices. Now FPGAs are emerging as a likely platform for next-generation embedded board test and measurement capabilities which can be employed during design, development, manufacturing, and in the field following product launch. Without requiring a dedicated FPGA, a board-tester-in-a-chip can be easily inserted and removed as it is needed or it can remain in-system. This trend toward FPGA-controlled test (FCT) is a part of the larger shift toward embedded instrumentation as a more effective methodology for validating, testing and debugging circuit boards. |
| OpenSystems Media (OSM), LLC today announced its upcoming E-cast on Security Architecture for High-Performance Distributed Systems, moderated by Curt Schwaderer, Technology Editor, OpenSystems Media. Real-Time Innovations’ (RTI) security model for Data Distribution Service (DDS) is an industry-standard publish-subscribe data bus targeting real-time performance requirements. |
| OpenSystems Media (OSM), LLC today announced its upcoming E-cast Cloud Computing for Network Equipment moderated by Kenton Williston, Editor, Embedded Innovator Magazine. Cloud computing is a current topic in enterprise networking, where it can reduce costs by moving applications onto virtual resources. This same concept can help Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMS) reduce their development cost, and provide flexibility in deploying their products. Cloud computing can also help service providers reduce Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx). |

| Design engineers and hobbyists alike are encouraged to upload a video of their designs to the Avnet Electronics Marketing YouTube page showcasing how they have used at least one part available on Avnet’s line card. Avnet’s panel of judges– Suzanne Deffree, managing editor online for EDN, Shelley Keating, technology professor at University of Advancing Technology and Ken Cheung, editor and technology blogger — will choose four winners to receive an iPad2. Each submission will be judged on originality, creativity, number of “thumbs up,” and fit to contest theme. |
