Roving Reporter: Controlling and Processing the Real World Signal Chain

in Software & Bios
Posted byHenry-DavisOct 12, 2011
Real world signals are the basis for stimulus and response for embedded systems. Without real world signal interfaces, embedded processors would have a shortage of applications. Much attention has been paid to high data rate sensors, but the sensor continuum includes data rates that span a wide range. Most real world signals, unlike digital signals, are continuous in nature. Continuous (analog) signals can be processed by linear components as part of a control system, digital processing carries...Read More

Roving Reporter: Developing Reliable Communications Channels for Embedded Systems

in Software & Bios
Posted byHenry-DavisSep 29, 2011
The original design philosophy for the underlying technology that enables the Internet was founded on providing multiple alternative routings from one computer to another. By re-establishing the original “Internet” approach to communications channels, the communications can continue through most communications outages. Internet routing employs automatic fallback to alternative channels which assures continuous communications under most circumstances. Establishing redundant physical ...Read More

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: Booting in Under a Second

in Software & Bios
Posted byFelix_MAug 5, 2009
Most microcontrollers, DSPs or other types of embedded processors boot pretty fast, typically in the order of a couple hundred milliseconds or less. But if you're using an Intel® Architecture processor and running a standard BIOS, boot times are measured in seconds. This can be a showstopper for some embedded applications, like a military battlefield device, where a long boot time could put troops in jeopardy.   Why does a standard PC BIOS take so long to boot? Because it's a one-siz...Read More
