Introducing the FireCracker!
Based on Analog Devices popular Blackfin embedded processor, Silica has developed the FireCracker Development and Reference Design Platform for audio and video applications. FireCracker is a unique concept of a hybrid between a development board and a reference design that enables design engineers to bring embedded computing solutions from concept to production in record time.

RTOS Selection and Its Impact on Enhancing Time-To-Market and On-Time Design Outcomes
New research from Embedded Market Forecasters (EMF) indicates that time to market should be the key selection factor in picking a real time operating system (RTOS). Although in the past RTOS selection was determined by an assessment of the functional characteristics of the candidate systems, the increased complexity and the changes in the embedded market means that these factors are no longer sufficient to provide successful results. With...

Modular Software-Centric Development with an FPGA-Enabled RTOS
Electronics were revolutionized by microprocessors and software, with real-time operating systems (RTOS) providing the foundation for the application code. Today, in the era of FPGAs when the contents of chips are fashioned not from solder but from keystrokes there is a need for a new type of RTOS to take advantage of the fact that hardware is now as programmable as software. Electronic products are increasingly defined and differentiated...

What Is Realtime and Why Do I Need It?
Realtime is an often misunderstood - and misapplied - property of operating systems. In this article, we will attempt to provide a summary of some of the critical elements of realtime computing and discuss a few design considerations and benefits.

Basic Concepts of Real-Time Operating Systems
To most people, embedded systems are not recognizable as computers. Instead, they are hidden inside everyday objects that surround us and help us in our lives. Embedded systems typically do not interface with the outside world through familiar personal computer interface devices such as a mouse, keyboard and graphic user interface.
