Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
By George T. Hilliard Processor technology advances at breakneck speed, with new devices coming every 12 to 24 months. Bus standards aren’t moving quite as quickly, but they’re no slouch either. With (relatively) slower moving applications like MIL/COTS, medical, and industrial and their five to seven-year lifecycles, the pace of these upgrades can spell rapid… Read More »

Some industries caught on to the need for security before others, like those in the mission-critical space and those that potentially protect lives or money. But widespread adoption has not occurred. And it seems like hacking has almost become a sport for the bad guys. As we move forward, the amount of critical data that’s… Read More »

In Part 1 of this two-part blog, COTS, Custom, or Something In-Between: Balancing Cost, Time to Market, and Value Add, we looked at the differences between commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), custom, and semi-custom designs. In other words, do I buy existing hardware, have the vendor design something that’s specific to my needs, or is there something in between?… Read More »

We’re just coming off Embedded World, the largest trade show on the planet for embedded and industrial computing. While there were tons of “solutions” present, one question still seems to be in the back of the developer’s mind: Do I build it myself or buy an off-the-shelf solution? Or is there a third option? … Read More »
