    SEGGER — The Embedded Experts It simply works! Buyout licensing for Embedded Studio No license server, no hardware dongle Monheim, Germany – November 26 th, 2018 It only takes two minutes to install: With unlimited evaluaton and the freedom to use the sofware at no cost for non-commercial purposes, SEGGER has always made it easy to use Embedded Studio. In additon to this and by popular demand from developers in larger corporatons, SEGGER introduces a buyout licensing opton that makes things even easier. The new buyout opton allows usage by an unlimited number of users, without copy protecton, making it very easy to install and use the sofware anywhere: In the ofce, on the road, at customer's site or at home. No license server, no hardware dongle. Developers can fully concentrate on what they do and like best and what they are paid for: Develop sofware rather than deal with copy protecton issues. Being available for Windows, macOS and Linux, it reduces the dependencies on any third party. It is the perfect choice for mid-size to large corporatons with strict licensing policies. In additon to that, Embedded Studio's source code is available. "We are seeing more and more companies adoptng Embedded Studio as their Development Environment of choice throughout their entre organizaton. Listening to our customers, we found that this new opton helps to make Embedded Studio even more atractve. Easier is beter", says Rolf Segger, Founder of SEGGER. Get more informaton on the new SEGGER Embedded Studio at: www.segger.com/embedded-studio.html ### About Embedded Studio SEGGER — The Embedded Experts It simply works!

  • Familias De Microcontroladores
    INTRODUCCION Un microcontrolador es un circuito integrado tiene en su interior todas las características de un computador, es decir, programa y circuitos periféricos para CPU, RAM, una memoria de entrada y salida. Muy regularmente los microcontroladores poseen además convertidores análogo - digital, temporizadores, contadores y un sistema para permitir la comunicación en serie y en paralelo. Se pueden crear muchas aplicaciones con los microcontroladores. Estas aplicaciones de los microcontroladores son ilimitadas, entre ellas podemos mencionar: sistemas de alarmas, iluminación, paneles publicitarios, etc. Controles automáticos para la Industria en general. Entre ellos control de motores DC/AC y motores de paso a paso, control de máquinas, control de temperatura, tiempo; adquisición de datos mediante sensores, etc. HISTORIA El primer microprocesador fue el Intel 4004 de 4 bits, lanzado en 1971, seguido por el Intel 8008 y otros más capaces. Sin embargo, ambos procesadores requieren circuitos adicionales para implementar un sistema de trabajo, elevando el costo del sistema total. Los ingenieros de Texas Instruments Gary Boone y Michael Cochran lograron crear el primer microcontrolador, TMS 1000, en 1971; fue comercializado en 1974. Combina memoria ROM, memoria RAM, microprocesador y reloj en un chip y estaba destinada a los sistemas embebidos.2 Debido en parte a la existencia del TMS 1000,3 Intel desarrolló un sistema de ordenador en un chip optimizado para aplicaciones de control, el Intel 8048, que comenzó a comercializarse en 1977.3 Combina memoria RAM y ROM en el mismo chip y puede encontrarse en más de mil millones de teclados de compatible IBM PC, y otras numerosas aplicaciones.

  • Embedded Operating Systems
    7 Embedded Operating Systems Claudio Scordino1, Errico Guidieri1, Bruno Morelli1, Andrea Marongiu2,3, Giuseppe Tagliavini3 and Paolo Gai1 1Evidence SRL, Italy 2Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), Switzerland 3University of Bologna, Italy In this chapter, we will provide a description of existing open-source operating systems (OSs) which have been analyzed with the objective of providing a porting for the reference architecture described in Chapter 2. Among the various possibilities, the ERIKA Enterprise RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) and Linux with preemption patches have been selected. A description of the porting effort on the reference architecture has also been provided. 7.1 Introduction In the past, OSs for high-performance computing (HPC) were based on custom-tailored solutions to fully exploit all performance opportunities of supercomputers. Nowadays, instead, HPC systems are being moved away from in-house OSs to more generic OS solutions like Linux. Such a trend can be observed in the TOP500 list [1] that includes the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world, in which Linux dominates the competition. In fact, in around 20 years, Linux has been capable of conquering all the TOP500 list from scratch (for the first time in November 2017). Each manufacturer, however, still implements specific changes to the Linux OS to better exploit specific computer hardware features. This is especially true in the case of computing nodes in which lightweight kernels are used to speed up the computation. 173 174 Embedded Operating Systems Figure 7.1 Number of Linux-based supercomputers in the TOP500 list. Linux is a full-featured OS, originally designed to be used in server or desktop environments.
