DAVE Embedded Systems Gets a Facelift

Author - Laura

The team over at DAVE Embedded Systems have just unveiled their shiny new website, and it’s pretty impressive. With new graphics and clean, simple lines the new site provides a more streamlined user experience, without losing any of the familiar DAVE branding. 

 

With an emphasis on technical support the site now links directly to the DAVEWiki;
a fantastic archive full of documentation, user guides and software tools that provides developers with everything they need to get started.

DAVE Embedded Systems is a well-established and constantly growing Italian company, focused on designing, manufacturing and selling of miniaturised embedded systems solutions. Since its foundation, back in 1998, DAVE Embedded Systems has developed its business and now provides CPU modules solutions or System-On-Module (SoM) based on the latest technologies including Multi-Core ARM Cortex, PowerPC, X86 and FPGA.

DAVE Embedded Systems Hosts First Partners Meeting

Last week Nigel and Alberto made the short hop across Europe to north-west Italy to visit our friends at DAVE Embedded Systems.

DAVE invited their partners to their headquarters in Porcia to take part in the very first 'Daving' event - a three day training session designed to share information, news and future plans for DAVE Embedded Systems and their partners.

The three days, which lasted from the 29th of May to the 31 of May 2014, were packed full of presentations, team building exercises and training sessions. But it wasn't all work and no play...

There was plenty of opportunity to build relationships and have some fun!

About DAVE Embedded Systems - DAVE Embedded Systems is a well-established Italian company, focussed on the design of highly complex miniaturised embedded electronic systems. They offer a complete line of CPU modules covering ARM and PowerPC architectures, from entry level models right through to high end ruggedised boards. DAVE Embedded Systems modules are suitable for applications in the industrial, transportation, home automation, medical, networking, smart grid and telecom markets.

Are you visiting embedded world 2014?

As the world's largest trade fair of its kind, embedded world is a must for everyone who has dipped their toe or even plunged headfirst into the design and development of embedded hardware and software.

But embedded world is much more than just a trade fair.

This is where people come together for work, discussions and learning, and where the present and future of the embedded sector and industry are brought together.

As a leading international world fair with its exclusive focus on embedded technologies, the embedded world Exhibition & Conference mirrors the trends of the sector. The leading suppliers of construction elements, modules and full systems, operating systems and application software, as well as services covering all aspects of embedded systems can be reached in a compact approach with the shortest routes.

This year our friends at Tech Source will be demonstrating some exciting new XMC graphics technology in hall 1, stand 138. Established in 1987, Tech Source has been a pioneer in high performance computer graphics hardware solutions for niche markets, and the Condor product line includes a range of XMC/VPX based COTS products that are targeted towards extended temperature and rugged applications such as avionics, defense and industrial applications.

You can also visit the DAVE Embedded Systems team at the show, where they will be showcasing their range of CPU modules covering ARM and PowerPC architectures, from entry level models right through to high end ruggedized boards. DAVE will also be introducing some brand new technology at the event, so make sure you stop by Hall 4, Stand 559 to see some of the smallest embedded boards on the market!

 

DAVE Embedded Systems at embedded world 2013

Nigel Norman from Sarsen Technology will be at embedded world alongside our colleagues from Tech Source, Ecrin Systems, DAVE Embedded Systems and Extreme Engineering Solutions.

If you are interested in setting up a meeting with any of our manufacturers during embedded world, please submit your request by email and we’ll get back to you ASAP.

Embedded Systems 'R' Us!

Here at Sarsen embedded systems are just what we do. They are our core business, and we’ve got a crack team of manufacturing partners that enable us to help you, the lovely customer, find solutions for your embedded computing requirements. It can be a challenge, so we offer a wide range of high quality, high reliability products that support a lot of different market sectors.

One of our newest additions to the product line, Dave, has risen to the challenge of embedded product development by designing and manufacturing complete devices, including both software and hardware. The result is a complete line of CPU modules, covering x86, ARM and PowerPC architectures, with high-end and entry level models.

Dave’s aim is to help customers save development time and engineering costs, which is why each CPU is available with its own evaluation board and development kit, so you can easily test all the features on the module.

The BORA is the newest high performance CPU module from DAVE, powered by the Dual Cortex-A9 with the FPGA "Zynq" XC7Z010 / XC7Z020 application processor from Xilinx. The BoraEVB-Lite is a carrier board designed to host the Bora system-on-module.

Giving VMEBUS a new lease of life with the 4th Generation Intel Core i7 Haswell processor

VMEBUS is a 30 year old technology that has seen a rise in popularity recently, partly thanks to customers looking to refresh legacy systems rather than invest money in newer technology.

Far from seeing VME as on old technology, Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) offers Intel VME, PowerPC VME, and QorIQ VME Single Board Computers (SBCs) and carrier cards for embedded computing applications.

With both air-cooled and conduction-cooled boards, these products can be applied to a wide variety of embedded applications across military, communications, and commercial/industrial markets. X-ES have gone as far as to incorporate the new 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7 Haswell processor onto a 6U VME SBC.

The XCalibur4530 provides up to 32 GB DDR3L-1600 ECC SDRAM in two separate channels, two PrPMC/PrXMC slots, and up to 64 GB of NAND flash. The XCalibur4530 also hosts numerous I/O ports, including Gigabit Ethernet, UAB, SATA, graphics, mezzanine I/O, and RS-232/422/485 through the backplane connectors.

If you’re looking to refresh a legacy design, or if VME is simply your favourite and you can’t bear to look at another technology, give us a call – we can offer a range of form factors and technologies, including the new 4th Gen Core i7 processor.

A Visit from Dave

July is nearly upon us, and with it comes a visit from our newest addition to the product line.

Manuele Papais from Dave S.R.L

Manuele Papais from Dave will be joining the sales team next week to visit some new and existing customers, and to meet with the Sarsen Team for a spot of product training.

Dave designs and manufactures rugged embedded CPU modules, Computer-On-Modules and systems based on ARM and PowerPC architectures, on very small form factors. DAVE modules are suitable for applications in the industrial, transportation, home automation, medical, networking, smart grid and telecom markets.

DAVE provides complete products, including both software and hardware, in order to help customers save development time and engineering costs. Each DAVE CPU module has its own development kit, so customers can evaluate all the features offered by the product.

The latest board from Dave is the Bora, a top-class Dual Cortex-A9 + FPGA CPU module based on the recent Xilinx "Zynq" XC7Z010 / XC7Z020 application processor. Bora offers great computational power, thanks to the extensive set of peripherals, the Dual Cortex-A9 and the Artix7 FPGA. It is available for both commercial and industrial temperature operation, and provides multiple interfaces on a very small form factor.

For more information please give us a call on +44 1672 511166, or email us!
