Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
PC104, or what used to be PC/104, has been around in some form for over 30 years. That’s a long time, even for embedded systems. Despite that age, it remains a viable and important architecture for embedded systems. Read More>>>

Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7) has been a fixture in the embedded computing industry for nearly a decade. While the operating system (OS) isn’t going away, Extended Support is coming to a halt on October 13, 2020. WES7 originally debuted in 2010. It differed from the more commonplace Windows 7 OS in that it offered… Read More »

Error correction code (ECC) memory is a must-have for every embedded computer platform, right? Not exactly. There are places where it absolutely makes sense. But there are probably even more where it’s not required. First, let’s define the memory type. ECC RAM is found in servers where data loss would be catastrophic. Its differentiating factor… Read More »

We are now living in the craziest of times, certainly the craziest of my lifetime, and likely yours. Obviously, I’m referring to the COVID-19 pandemic and all the issues that it brings with it. In the embedded computing space, it’s having an impact on the global supply chain, and not a good impact, especially in… Read More »

Benchmarking is important. It’s one of the most important things a developer should do when evaluating different platforms, either from different vendors or from one vendor. However, for useful results to be realized, the proper questions must be asked. And that starts with which benchmarks are being run, as many are available. I’m not suggesting… Read More »

Here’s something you may not have been aware of: industrial flash options can have a huge impact on your embedded computing design. Far too many developers take the flash memory in their systems for granted, either leaving the decision until too late in the design or not choosing an option that’s right for their system….

Looking into the future, can we define any technologies that will be accelerated by the global crisis? Artificial intelligent (AI) is sure to be one. For example, temperature scanning and alerts are already available, but I expect these technologies to be improved and more prevalent at mass gatherings. When you add AI and some of… Read More »
