Embedded Software
Beyond simple input/output data transformation, embedded software is built into the electronics of devices we use every day - cars, phones, TVs, appliances, health monitoring equipment, etc. - to control these systems' interactions with the physical world. Embedded software thus becom... Morees more complex as applications become more sophisticated in systems such as planes, missiles, and process control systems. Developers must consider timeliness, concurrency, liveness, reactivity, and heterogeneity when programming abstractions. Types of embedded software include operating systems such as embedded Linux, Windows Embedded, and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs), which are intended for real-time applications and designed to be very compact and efficient, forsaking many functions that non-embedded computer operating systems provide. Communication protocols designated for embedded systems can be closed or open source.

Virtual prototyping tools speed development for FPGAs with ARM-based SoC subsystems
Yesterday — Larry Melling, Cadence Design SystemsApplications built using FPGA-based systems require significant software, and it’s important to start software development in parallel with hardware development. Virtual platforms allow pre-silicon software development using high-level models of system hardware and are becoming a critical part of the development tool chain.

Flexible hardware in software: Enabling customization through concurrent real-time programming
Last week — Henk Muller, XMOSIn commercial product development, customized solutions are a significant value add to the end user. Software-based design offers developers the flexibility to differentiate complete solutions at every stage of the development cycle, and the ability to tailor products to the specific demands of a diverse electronics market.

White Paper: Methods and Tools for Bring-Up and Debug of an FPGA-Based ASIC Prototype
3 weeks ago — Troy Scott, Product Marketing Manager, Synopsys, Inc.Software simulation of RTL is no longer capable of providing all of the verification required for today’s complex ASIC designs. Modern ASICs are a complex mixture of hardware and software, so it is necessary to verify the design within the context of the complete system, running the full range of software at speeds that approach real-time. Successfully validating an ASIC design on an FPGA-based prototype before committing to silicon is now a key project milestone for most design teams. This paper examines some of the best practices for both successful bring-up and logic debug of ASICs using FPGA-based prototypes.
