So, that's it, Day 1 is done (we are now into Day 2), but if you can't be with us here at IDF 2011, then I'd like to share with some highlights of what I got out of Day 1!   First, Paul Otellini (our President & CEO) kicked off the day with his Keynote. He touched on a lot of things (see my corporate blog post for a complete run down) but some big picture items was: Computers have come a long way in the last 30 years since the first IBM PC A Great Computing Experience needs to be: ...Read More

So, over the last year or so, we've been working ad-hoc to establish a cadre of folks that could be considered "Subject Matter Experts" (SMEs) on various key Embedded topics so you could have a "go-to" guy or gal for areas of interest to you.   At this point, we want to start formalizing the list, so I wanted to share it with you - here it is:   Name Twitter Handle Focus Stewart Christie @Intel_stewart Intel Atom Processors for Embedded Conor Clancy @Intel_conor Medical / Military/Aer...Read More

Analog display outputs such as Video Graphics Array (VGA) and the low voltage differential signaling technology (LVDS) panel interface would no longer be supported in product lines starting in 2015. HDMI has increasingly been used for easy connection to consumer electronics devices. DisplayPort is expected to become the single digital display output for embedded flat panels, monitors and projectors. In addition to support for LVDS ending in 2013 and VGA in 2015, SDVO will also not be supported ...Read More

I was lucky enough to be invited to be a judge for this event last year, and stayed at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University while we reviewed, debated and judged 169 embedded systems. Pranav Mehta, the CTO for the Embedded and Comms Group, was the keynote speaker and you can see his take on adding "Wisdom" to the next generation of embedded devices, or as they are often called, The Internet of Things   .     See  Lost In Translation - Shanghai Embedded Systems Design Contest -...Read More

As I mentioned before , we’ve got big changes coming to the Intel Embedded Community in November.  However, you don’t make changes this big overnight; so, we’ve been busy creating a test environment to make sure everything will work the way you’d expect it will.  However, there’s a bonus to having a test environment – we can use it to give you a “Sneak Peak” at what the new environment will be like, so you can slide right into being pro...Read More
