Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
We’ve posted a number of articles lately about security in general and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) specifically. The TPM standard defines a hardware root of trust, which is widely accepted as being more secure than a software approach and is generally employed in conjunction with software, thereby enabling those software-based features. Due to the… 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 »
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….

There are so many scenarios in which an embedded industrial computer should be deployed that you couldn’t possibly count them all. However, determining which embedded computer is best for your specific application can be a tricky endeavor. One way that should be obvious to determine the right platform is to look at the specifications for… Read More »
