Ask a BIOS Guy: "Hybrid EFI?"

in Software & Bios
Posted bybrian_amiMay 20, 2011
The Tech Report recently reviewed a Gigabyte motherboard using a " Hybrid EFI " BIOS. It's true that this Gigabyte implementation isn't UEFI from the ground up, which makes it different from most UEFI implementations in the market. I think we need to take a look at the Gigabyte Hybrid EFI implementation and understand exactly what it does.   Gigabyte's " Hybrid EFI Technology " is pretty simple ... stick a UEFI layer on top of the existing legacy BIOS so users get support for 2TB+ hard...Read More

Roving Reporter: Building an Autopilot

in Market Applications
Posted byHenry-DavisNov 4, 2010
One of the most anticipated airplanes, Boeing’s 777 Dreamliner incorporates a two-pilot flight deck with a five-screen electronic flight information system. If you’ve ever looked in the cockpit of a commercial airliner, you have seen the bewildering array of screens, dials, and indicators used to control the airplane. The Dreamliner flight screens replace a large number of indicators, and serve to reduce the amount of information the pilots need to deal with at one time.   To b...Read More

Roving Reporter: Developing a Wireless Router Using Open Source

in Market Applications
Posted byHenry-DavisNov 2, 2010
Although the resulting product was decried by many converts to the open source movement, the developers successfully asserted their right under the GPL to keep portions of the code proprietary. But it also prompted multiple authors to fork new code bases aimed at satisfying a wide range of requirements. Most retail wireless routers are based on Systems-on-Chip (SoC) that incorporate a processor, memory, and specialized peripherals. Such systems restrict the number of hardwired LAN connections, ...Read More

Roving Reporter: How Digital Signage Works

in Market Applications
Posted byHenry-DavisOct 30, 2010
Outdoor advertizing signs, also called billboards, are ubiquitous in many countries. The United States has more than 500,000 billboards in place along the nation’s highways. Historically, outdoor and indoor advertising in commercial settings has been updated and maintained by sign painters and sign installers. Now improvements in electronics hardware technology and software have improved the capabilities of the traditional signage application, and added creative new opportunities in the d...Read More

Roving Reporter: Soft Asymmetric Multiprocessing

in Software & Bios
Posted bykentonwillistonOct 6, 2010
The advent of embedded virtualization has enabled a new “soft ASMP” approach that combines many of the benefits of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and asymmetric multiprocessing (ASMP).  To see how it works, check out National Instruments’ article in the latest Embedded Innovator newsletter.   You can access more articles like this by subscribing to the  Embedded Innovator .  Subscribers receive a quarterly newsletter as well as the annual Embedded In...Read More

Roving Reporter series: Adapting x86 to harsh environments – Software comes alive, then drives

in Software & Bios
Posted bySharonS-OSMSep 28, 2010
We live in a “seeing is believing” world. And embedded systems users likely physically see only the hardware they use as they: keep an F-22 flying high (Figure 1); capture telemetry information; gather Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data; pilot an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) from a ground control station; or even send a deployed soldier classified information on a handheld device. But the fact remains that this very-visible hardware is 100\% dormant without...Read More

Roving Reporter: Touch-Screen Automation, Simplified

in Software & Bios
Posted bykentonwillistonSep 1, 2010
Innovations in consumer electronics are raising expectations for user interfaces and networking in automation markets. Delivering these innovations while minimizing cost and time to market is a major challenge.  M31 S.p.A. recently wrote an article showing how to meet the challenge with Intel® Atom™ processors and a Sensor and Actor (SAN) Framework based on the developer-friendly Nokia* Qt* software platform.  You can read the article in the new Embedded Innovator newslet...Read More

Roving Reporter: Develop an IP media capability for general use

in Software & Bios
Posted byHenry-DavisAug 24, 2010
Today the Internet and its associated communications standards provide the ability to deliver nearly every type of media to any location that has enough bandwidth to service the request. What was once an advanced research project sponsored by the US Military has become over-run by the civilian uses of the medium. Developing both media servers and media clients for the wide range of media types is no small task. Looking at defined, commonly used media types for ordinary consumption, we can divid...Read More

Roving Reporter: Develop a real time Ethernet-based industrial control system

in Market Applications
Posted byHenry-DavisAug 19, 2010
Software and hardware have a “chicken and egg” relationship – one really can’t work without the other. In Steve Leibsen’s blog, he talks about getting more capacity through multi-core based systems. That’s the hardware side of the equation, now let’s look at software to make realtime industrial control function. Ethernet was born of a PhD Dissertation by Robert Metcalf in the early 1970s. Xerox PARC, center of many new computing technologies, develope...Read More

Roving Reporter: Medical Ultrasound

in Market Applications
Posted byHenry-DavisJul 20, 2010
Ultrasound is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in modern medicine. In the late 1970s ultrasound required specially trained physicians to interpret the results from technically driven analog equipment. Some research equipment featured realistic two dimensional grey scale images, but the complexity and excessive tuning requirements to keep the equipment functioning correctly restricted its use to very specialized applications. Nevertheless, the benefits in diagnostics, especially in g...Read More

Roving Reporter: Building Military and Industrial Robots

in Market Applications
Posted byHenry-DavisJul 13, 2010
Industrial and military robots come in all shapes and sizes, tethered and untethered, autonomous or human operated, and designed for many different environments. But no matter how advanced robots are today, we’re still a long way from having a humanoid robot from science fiction.      Where do you start in assembling a practical military (or industrial) robot? As with any engineering task, we need a set of objectives and a mission, which in turn defines the capabilitie...Read More

Roving Report: Open Source Enables Developments

in Software & Bios
Posted byHenry-DavisMay 26, 2010
These monopolists were controlling the nascent automotive industry with the fear of lawsuits based on the Selden patent. Ford won his suit and formed a new automobile manufacturers’ association. The next step started technology “open source” as a concept. The association instituted a cross-licensing agreement among all US auto manufacturers. Under the terms of the association, each company would develop technology and file patents. Patents were shared openly and without any pa...Read More

Roving Reporter: Developing an Automotive Infotainment System

in Market Applications
Posted byHenry-DavisMay 19, 2010
Automotive entertainment has been on a steady path of improvement ever since the invention of the car radio. Originally the automotive radio was a monaural AM receiver. This was a significant advance over stationary radios that employed dry cell batteries. Like current entertainment systems, the early radio made advances through improvement in other automotive systems.     Through the late 1980s many US automotive manufacturers divided in-cabin controls across dash functions and enter...Read More
