LynuxWorks Announces LynxSecure 4.0 support
for New Embedded Intel® Platforms
LynuxWorks, Inc., a leader in secure virtualization
technology, announced availability of LynxSecure 4.0 on
the latest hardware platforms from Intel. The Intel® Core
i7 processor family has been widely used in the desktop
and laptop market, and now the quad-core versions of the
processor are available for embedded designs. LynxSecure
4.0 provides the most flexible virtualization solution for use
in embedded systems. Built from the ground up, and now
in its 4th generation, LynxSecure offers the combination of
security with functionality, allowing embedded designers to
use the latest software and hardware technologies to build
complex multi-operating systems (OSes).
IEI Introduces Dual-core Intel® Atom Processor
D525-based SBCs
IEI Technology Corp. (IEI) released advanced Single
Board Computers (SBC) featuring the dual-core Intel®
Atom processor D525. The most notable advantage over its
predecessors is its support for 800 MHz DDR3 memory. The
dual-core D525 also provides an increase of processor speed
at 1.8 GHz with no bump in power consumption. The initial
launch of Intel® Atom processor D525-based series SBCs
includes the PCISA-PV-D5251, PICOe-PV-D5251, NANO-
PV-D5251 and NANO-PV-D5252. The key features in
common are gigabit LAN supporting ASF 2.0 and TPM V1.2
hardware security functions and uEFI BIOS architecture to
support over 2.2 TB of HDD storage with a 64-bit operating
system.
Green Hills Software Supports Intel® Atom
Processor E6xx Series
Green Hills Software, Inc. announced support for the
embedded Intel® Atom processor E6xx series. The Green
Hills Software offering includes the INTEGRITY® real-time
operating system, INTEGRITY Secure Virtualization (ISV)
technology, MULTI® integrated development environment
(IDE), optimizing C/C++ compilers, and DoubleCheck
static analyzer.

ROHM / OKI Semiconductor Co-Develop a
Dedicated Chipset for Intel® Atom Processor
E6xx Series
ROHM Semiconductor, in collaboration with its affiliated
company, OKI Semiconductor Co., Ltd., has introducted a
dedicated Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuit family designed
to support the Intel® Atom processor E6xx series (formerly
code-named Tunnel Creek). This chipset consists of a power
management IC (PMIC), a clock generator IC (CGIC) and an
input/output hub (IOH) IC. A reference board that simplifies
customer development is also available.
Out-of-the-box Development Platform For
Emerson Network Power MicroATX Motherboard
Emerson Network Power launched a new Embedded
Development Kit to enable design engineers to begin
developing their application in a fraction of the time
traditionally required. Part of the Wind River On-Board
Program, the Embedded Development Kit includes an
Emerson Network Power MicroATX motherboard based
on the Intel® Core i7 processor with optimized trial
versions of Wind River’s operating systems, development
tools, embedded hypervisor and graphics software to
help equipment manufacturers save time and money on
application integration for a faster, more efficient timeto-market.
The LiveUSB format enables designers to boot
directly from the included USB flash drive to evaluate a
fully operational development environment, eliminating the
installation process.
Kontron COM Express Basic Form Factor
Computer-on-Module ETXexpress®-AI
Kontron presented an additional version of the Computeron-Module
ETXexpress®-AI based on the new COM Express
Type 6 pin-out definition. As compared to the Type 2 pinout
definition for COM Express Basic form factor modules,
the new Type 6 pin-out offers configurable Digital Display
Interfaces (DDI) SDVO, DisplayPort and HDMI/DVI along
with 23 PCI Express Gen 2 lanes. This provides more native
display options and higher serial bandwidth than previously
possible. Most noteworthy is that the native support for all
the new display interfaces simplifies carrier board designs,
reducing time-to-market and total cost of ownership for
graphics-intensive applications. The extensive PCI Express
support underscores the trend of moving away from legacy
parallel interfaces towards pure serial embedded system
designs for higher bandwidth and reduced latency. This
represents a smooth transition path for application designers
looking to enhance their designs with next generation
technology such as faster drives and peripherals.
