Eurotech to Explain "Device to Cloud" Connectivity

Eurotech will be exhibiting its latest technology and will make a presentation that explores whether proprietary board formats really do lead to vendor independence, and explains how developers can expand the scope and value of hardware through the use of cloud technology.

"One of the most important aspects of the "Internet of Things" vision is that smart objects communicate effectively with each other and with applications residing in data centres or the cloud," said Tim Taberner, Product Strategy Manager at Eurotech. "This part of the presentation will explore the technical building blocks required to build a distributed, scalable, secure and managed system of devices and sensors that effectively interconnects with device infrastructure."

Pico Technology to Exhibit The Latest PC Based Oscilloscope Technology

Pico Technology produces high quality PC- based Oscilloscopes and offers a modern alternative to traditional and costly bench-top test and measurement equipment.

PicoScope oscilloscopes include a built-in function generator or AWG: thePicoScope 6 software includes mask limit testing to automate device testing against a “gold” standard, plus decoding of popular serial busses such as I2C, SPI, CAN/LIN and FlexRay, which helps to locate data-specific waveform errors. Software is also free for the life of the product. Meet Pico Technology at the Cambridge Conference

IES Explain The Integration of TFT displays with Single Board Computers

IES are specialists in display technologies for embedded systems. This presentation will explore a number of important subject matters in relation to using a TFT display with an off the shelf single board computer.

Topics covered will include :-

TFT interface choices
Touch interface choices
Making the adaptor cards and issues to consider
Assigning ports/pins/busses to the display if needed
RGB front and back porch timings
LVDS timings
Adjusting colour gamut and similar areas

This will be your chance to listen to an expert with real world experience, to learn about the latest display technologies in this field and to discuss any challenges that you may current face with regards to GUI development and HMI technology.

Wibu Systems to Explain Licensing, Protection & Security for Embedded Systems

Manufacturers of embedded systems and software can use licensing to monetise their solutions in a secure and easily controllable way. By activating only specific features the customers get what they need and suppliers save money by the production of standard applications. All operating details are stored in a separate license; vendors can then upsell to more extended versions by means of a simple remote update.

Protection avoids illegal use, reverse engineering and theft of intellectual property. Users have other interests; integrity of embedded systems can be ensured through the use of cryptographic methods and a secure hardware device or software based keys for key management and data storage. These security measures also eliminate the risk of manipulation and sabotage of critical systems. This presentation will offer an introduction to the technologies mentioned.

Telexsus To Demonstrate The Latest  in Protocol Analyser Technology

Protocol analysers have become an essential tool for engineers implementing or utilising high speed communication protocols such as PCI Express, USB, Ethernet, SAS/SATA, Fibre Channel etc. The complexity of these protocols means that there is plenty of opportunity for implementation errors to occur at the Physical, logical and software layers . Even if we are utilising widely used IP, such as a PCI Express core for an FPGA, to communicate with a Processors PCI Express controller, there is no guarantee of a fully functional or even working bus.

Many protocol issues manifest themselves when a system initialises and the first half of this demonstration will show how a protocol analyser can be used to quickly identify the capabilities of a PCI Express host and device and the state of the bus through and after initialisation. In the second half of the demonstration we will look at how the data payloads sent over a protocol can be intercepted and extracted. This will be done by capturing and extracting data from a USB data transfer.
