Supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic have had major repercussions on the embedded systems industry. Firms have been forced to switch from one supplier to another in an attempt to fulfil their customers’ orders, and engineering teams have been faced with an enormous amount of rework. This paper discusses abstraction based connectivity solutions that enable the same software libraries and application layers to run across dozens of different target platforms to deal with component shortages.

PDFFive factors to consider when deciding whether free or commercial Bluetooth is the better fit for your device requirements.
PDFLet's get right to the point. If you pay nothing for software (like the Bluetooth® that's already embedded in chips or RTOSs) but it costs you 50 percent more in development costs and perhaps significant time in opportunity costs associated with delayed time-to-market, is free Bluetooth really free?
PDFThe Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the shape of the embedded systems industry. A key component of this change is the role that short range wireless - such as Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi® and Bluetooth - will play in new IoT scenarios. The focus of this paper will be on the many aspects of short range wireless connectivity for IoT applications. It will give managers greater understanding of the practicalities behind new scenarios involving short range wireless.
PDFThe world of embedded is changing. It is being impacted by one of the major growth markets of our time – the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT demands innovative solutions to a new set of requirements, impacting upon the decisions, issues and preferences of engineers tasked with wireless embedded designs.
PDFA significant growth in the medical device marketplace can be realized by expanding the market to individuals that can benefit from preventative support and ongoing monitoring of treatments. This will create a market for millions of new devices. Paper published with permission from Embedded Market Researchers.

PDFAs the use of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are becoming more common, the need to create cost effective devices is critical. The challenge is how to enable new features and functionality while lowering your costs. In this whitepaper, Mentor Graphics and Clarinox Technologies underline important embedded hardware and software factors when designing a high complexity wireless device to remain cost effective and robust.
PDFOver the last three to four years, the adoption of inter-device connectivity and a multitude of other ‘smart features’ (e.g. adaptive control and device learning) into many traditional embedded products has drastically increased the level of underlying software and hardware complexity. In parallel, product development timelines are rapidly reducing with a corresponding tightening of quality requirements, especially in regulated markets such as the defence, automotive and health sectors. elated data (MQTT, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) between multiple nodes.
PDFDevelopers are increasingly incorporating additional software such as wireless protocol stacks into their embedded products creating large, complex systems. Building and debugging such complicated systems consumes valuable resources and extends project timescales. The use of Jannal Intelligent Design Environment eases the challenges and allows engineers to focus on their end application.
PDFIn this paper Embedded Market Forecasters acquaint medical device manufacturers with currently available technologies that are used effectively in other vertical marketplaces to speed up the development process, lower the cost of development and better enable integration of wireless, USB and very efficient GUI development and deployment.
PDFIn this age of smartphones, touch-screen tablets and imminently wearable computing, the ubiquitous radio communications device seems to be just as resilient to change as it is to the rigours of the environments in which it's used. Read the full Tait Connections Magazine article.

PDFWireless protocols are deployed across a large number of markets. This paper takes a look at what wireless protocols developers are using for embedded applications and how they are using them.
PDFIncreasing complexity has long been a major embedded systems developer concern. Some industries have seen this trend earlier than others but it appears none will escape the trend. It is just a matter of time until this is a concern across every market segment.
PDFA flexible, plug-in based debugger is described. The debug system, built as a C++ interface class, is independent of the physical layer, which can be a network, a serial connection (e.g., RS232), or even a file on hard disk or flash memory. The plug-in approach presented was conceived to overcome the major barriers to fast and efficient debugging of embedded systems and is based upon many years of experience in the embedded industry.

PDFReal Time Location Systems are used to track and identify the location of objects or people in real time. This is done through the use of electronic tags/badges attached to the object or person and electronic readers to receive the signals from these tags. Signals are filtered and the information processed to determine location.
PDFA rapid protoyping example is used to higlight an approach to debugging when the issue is not clearly either hardware or software.
PDFFor many years debugging has been the number one issue of embedded engineers according toEmbedded Systems Design's annual market survey.
PDFThink the number of choices for wireless technologies makes things confusing? Clarinox provides a (rough) guide to some main differences between technologies at Industrial and Wireless Conference.
PDFClarinox was announced as an approved QNX partner for Bluetooth protocol stack software at Embedded World, a sample development on QNX platform is discussed.
PDFTraditionally the requirements placed upon embedded systems are quite different to those applied for desktop computing. While there is no single characterization that applies to the whole gamut of embedded systems some combination of the variables of robustness, small size and weight, real-time requirements, long life cycle and low price could be expected to figure in the design criteria for most embedded systems.
