3rd DAVIng Event - Learn, Discuss, Eat, Repeat!

Last week Nigel and Christos made the short hop across the continent to spend a couple of days with the DAVE Embedded Systems team in Porcia, Italy.

Following the success of last year's DAVing event the distribution network once again got together to meet and take part in a number of active training sessions as well as share their thoughts and ideas on how they can help DAVE Embedded Systems develop the business over the next 12 months. Sarsen Technology participated alongside Cynetis Embedded, Smart Embedded Systems DAVE Embedded Systems Germany and Digimax S.r.l.

As we know, all work and no play makes one very dull, so although the event was packed with training and interactive discussions there was still a little time for some sightseeing. Pordenone is a town about 15 minutes from the DAVE Embedded Systems offices, and the team enjoyed a tour of the town followed by a beautiful meal at La Ferrata.

Thanks to Eleonora and everyone at DAVE Embedded Systems for organising such an informative and motivating event! We're looking forward to working on some exciting new projects with you all this year.

Sarsen Technology and DAVE Embedded Systems Team Up for the Embedded Design Show 2014

Author: Laura Biddiscombe

Here at Sarsen we really like doing things with our principals. Which is why we are very excited about taking part in the Embedded Design Show 2014 with our friends at DAVE Embedded Systems.

Launched to fill a gap in the growing embedded electronics market, the Embedded Design Show will offer a focused event for the industry.

This year the Embedded Design Show will be co-located with the Electronics Design Show and Engineering Design Show which will also incorporate Engineering Materials Live. These award-winning exhibitions were created to champion British engineering and are entirely targeted at electronic and design engineers, making this a must attend event for anyone working in these industry sectors.


 
The Embedded Design Show will feature two workshop theatres and a conference area. Attendance to the workshop theatres is completely free.

Registration is now open! To be our guest at the exhibition, register for your free entry badge by clicking here, and if you'd like to attend any of the Conference sessions as our guest you can sign up for free by simply entering entering this discount code ENG14C.

You can find us on Stand G32, where we will be showcasing the complete range of SoMs from DAVE, based on ARM Cortex-A architecture, Freescale and Texas Instruments processors and Xilinx SoC.

Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) on FREESCALE i.MX6

Author - Laura Biddiscombe

Some more excitement from our friends at DAVE Embedded Systems, who have just announced the availability of a new enhanced application of Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) on the AXEL System On Module (SoM).

So what exactly is ASYMMETRIC MULTIPROCESSING?

Asymmetric Multi Processing (AMP) allows a multiprocessor system to run multiple Operating Systems (OS) that are independent of each other.

In other words, each CPU has its own private memory space, which contains the OS and the applications that are to run on that CPU. In addition, there can be some shared memory space that is used for multiprocessor communication. This is in contrast with Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP), in which one OS runs on multiple CPUs using a public shared memory space. Thanks to AMP, developers can use open-source Linux and FreeRTOS operating systems and the RPMsg Inter Processor Communication (IPC) framework between the i.MX6 high-performance ARM Cortex-A9 processors to quickly implement applications that need to deliver deterministic, real-time responsiveness for markets such as automotive and industrial.


AXEL: a family of System On Modules (SOM) based on Freescale i.MX6

AXEL LITE, AXEL ESATTA and AXEL ULTRA are the new top-class Solo/Dual/Quad core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU modules from DAVE Embedded Systems, based on the recent Freescale i.MX6 application processor. The use of this processor enables extensive system-level differentiation of new applications in many industry fields, where high-performance and extremely compact form factor are key factors. Smarter system designs are made possible, following the trends in functionalities and interfaces of the new, state-of-the-art embedded products.
