What does GENIVI’s selection of MeeGo mean?  If done properly, it means, at the same time, acceleration of MeeGo in Automotive and preservation of GENIVI.     When GENIVI formed, its goal included creating code and specs, which is a unique challenge for alliances where, typically, specs are developed and code is written as much as 10 years later.  Look at IEEE, ISO, Bluetooth, AUTOSAR, and others to confirm the typical approach.  It’s a long process to gain ...Read More

Went to San Diego and attended the 2010 underwater autonomous competition. This is an event that has been going for the last 13 years and attracts college students from around the world. This year there were Japanese, Korean, Canadian, Icelandic, and US teams.   Although the competition is open to college students, these folks are more engineers than students. They devote countless hours doing these projects and many of the robots there are very professionally made. There is a lot of debat...Read More

It turns out that when you start a blog called “Ask a BIOS Guy,” people actually ask the author questions about BIOS. Trust me, it’s an amazing revelation. This week I’m answering a question about the TianoCore project that “ ramsey ” posed after reading my “ Why UEFI ” article.   “I understand Intel has an opensource EFI/UEFI solution called Tianocore that ppl experimenting with EFI can flash onto their platform and allow for boot? Or ...Read More

The Intel Cup Embedded System Design Contest (short for "Intel Cup Undergraduate Electronic Design Contest - Embedded System Design Invitational Contest") was initiated by the Chinese government, hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and is solely sponsored by Intel Corporation since 2002. Held every 2 years, the contest provides an opportunity for top undergraduate students to design a working system based on an assigned Intel embedded platform over a period of three months.   Each tea...Read More

I’m sure that, if you’re involved with social media & your customer base is primarily engineers & the like, you’ve seen this story by my friend Karen Field :   http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=225700747   It is a good article, well written & well researched.  You should take 6-minutes & read it yourself, but to “Tweet” the summary:   Engineers hate Twitter b/c it's mostly random/useless garbage ("I ...Read More

Tablet computers seem to be all the rage, making your boxy desktop computer look even less hip. But that doesn't mean the BIOS underneath your “standard PC” is going away. It’s still as important as ever.   Touchscreen and tablet computers have been around for years, but for some reason they’ve always been a hard sell. I have personally benefitted from this lack of adoption, recently buying a cast-off Panasonic Toughbook with a lovely 10" touch screen for a mere fif...Read More
