Seeking a unified hardware approach for IIoT control
Although the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged in every market segment, its implementation varies widely. In the Industrial IoT (IIoT), for example, a much more robust, reliable set of technologies is required than in the consumer world. Here, technology standards organizations will play an important role in ensuring that safety-critical IIoT systems can be developed at the lowest cost, fastest time to market, and minimize the low-level software engineering burden.

Where does xTCA fit in SDN?
It’s widely known throughout the carrier world that there is an alarming trend in the ARPU, as well as cost per bit. This has driven a significant interest in the carrier world in Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which separates the control and data planes in network switches. At the first day of AdvancedTCA Summit 2012, many of the presentations – and much of the hall talk – was centered around OpenFlow, the preeminent SDN specification, and how it can/may be used in future carrier network architectures.

LynuxWorks demonstrates LynxOS-178 safety and security solutions
LAS VEGAS – The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE)-compliant LynxOS-178 v 2.2.2 Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and LynxSecure separation kernel and hypervisor was demonstrated during AUVSI earlier this month. The latest version is the only RTOS available that is DO-178B Level A certified and contains native POSIX and ARINC 653 APIs, in addition to being the only FAA-awarded Reusable Software Component (RSC) for DO-178B that is time and space partitioned. When combined with FACE APIs, the LynxOS-178 offers a DO-178B-certified and rapidly migratable platform for UAV software components.

Open-Silicon and CoMira Solutions speed network IC development with Ethernet IP
MILPITAS, CA, August 28 – An IEEE 802.3ba-compliant 40/100G Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) and Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) IP collaborated on by Open-Silicon and CoMira Solutions that can be implemented as stand-alone IP or integrated into product development has been released. When combined with Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) or DDR3, the high performance MAC and PCS IP create a complete networking IP solution.
