Optimal, cost-efficient handling of coding rule violations

LDRA, leader in standards compliance, automated software verification, software code analysis and test tools, maintains its commitment to the simplification and automation of the software development lifecycle with the introduction of TBexclude. Designed to complement TBvision’s user friendly reporting of coding rule violations, TBexclude offers a multi-tier coding violation exclusion capability enabling the suppression of rule violation reports at the project, team or individual user levels – perhaps in support of a MISRA deviation process.

Webinar: The practicalities of MISRA compliance

On March 19 our supplier LDRA offers a webinar which will discuss several key points raised by the MISRA compliance document. 

There are many static analysis tools available to assess code compliance with MISRA guidelines. But the identification and rectification of violations flagged by a tool represents only one part of the compliance process. Step back from the analysis of violations and the need to address bigger questions about the process as a whole becomes obvious.

Ways to break into your existing product designs

What if you’ve already got products that don’t have attention-getting interfaces with mass-market prices? Thankfully, we’ve thought of that. We’ve got ways for you to consider adapting your existing designs, starting with;

Ways to meet the relentless pressure to release products faster

Designers often use one set of tools (such as Adobe Photoshop) to craft the look and feel of a UI and another set for prototyping (like Adobe Experience Design). Developers then use a third toolset (often C/C++) to implement the final product. All of these changes in tools, process, and workflow suck up time and introduce errors. Thankfully, there are tools on the market that can help create a streamlined design development process.

Ways to meet the relentless pressure to market faster

If you’re building a one-off product, code reuse doesn’t matter. That being said, you almost never use good code only once. Initial releases invariably get updated with new features and bug fixes, one product can lead to a family of products, and reliable code from older projects is often implemented into new incarnations. So if you’re writing code with a plan to throw it away, you’re doing it wrong.

Critical consumer expectations; value for money

If the best products provide an excellent user experience, the best-selling products also provide excellent value for the money. With so many forces attempting to get a share of the consumer wallet, you need to build products that are “worth it”, and that usually means a bill of materials that’s as low as you can manage.

New NXP iMX8M COM Board for ARM Quad-Core

This new Embedded Artists' iMX8M COM Board provides a quick and easy solution for implementing a high-performance ARM quad/dual-core Cortex-A53 / Cortex-M4F based design. The Cortex-A53 / Cortex-M4F heterogeneous architecture enables the system to run an OS like Linux on the quad/dual-core Cortex-A53 and a Real-Time OS (RTOS) on the Cortex-M4F.

Critical consumer expectations that open wallets

Create products with both functionality and design in mind.
 
In the good old days when function trumped form, consumers had to live with difficult-to-use products like the much-maligned VHS recorder. Today, consumer preference for a product is increasingly determined by the quality of the user experience.

Effective software development for safety-related markets

Many products for such markets as household appliances, automotive, industrial and healthcare have regulatory requirements to be certified against functional safety (FuSa) standards. For example, IEC 61508 for electrical systems, ISO 26262 for the automotive industry, IEC62304 for medical systems, and EN 50128 for railway applications.

Within the standards, there are multiple safety integrity levels (SIL) that specify formal methods to be used during development for verifying that the application code, software components and toolchains are safe for the intended use.
 

New Wi-Fi / Bluetooth M.2 Modules

Our M.2 modules, co-developed by Embedded Artists and Murata, have been released

If you are looking for a flexible and reliable Wi-Fi / Bluetooth solution for your product our M.2 modules could be a perfect alternative. We have a family of M.2 modules; all based on Murata connectivity modules, which in turn are based on different Cypress chipsets.

In Connected Systems, the Software Development Lifecycle lasts a Lifetime

Until recently, the software development lifecycle generally ended at product release. Connectivity, however, has extended that development lifecycle to the lifetime of the product or as long as it’s in the field. Unlike isolated systems, the software requirements for products such as connected cars can change at any time, whenever changes occur in the product’s connected environment or a new security vulnerability is discovered.
Each newly discovered vulnerability implies a changed or new requirement that requires an immediate response. Revised code must then undergo static analysis and all impacted unit and integration tests need to be re-run (regression tested).

LDRA - ISO 9001 / SGS TÜV-SAAR / TÜV SUD Certifications

The TÜV and ISO certificates each say something a little different about LDRA and its products. ISO 9001 certification demonstrates LDRA’s ability to consistently meet and exceed customer expectations. And TÜV approval of software test tools suggests something more specific about the capabilities of the products, and their capacity to meet the exacting demands of the world’s predominant functional safety standards.

Added Security and Connectivity to Data Management on the Edge

eXtremeDB was developed to provide professional developers with the tools they need to meet, or exceed, the demands of the industry and v.8.0 lives up to that goal.  One of the many new features eXtremeDB v.8.0 offers our customers to provide an IoT advantage is the way that the system supports “storage containers” on edge devices, improving connectivity with servers. The current generation of IoT networks tend to use IPv6, which is not optimized to manage massive data transmissions when bandwidth is limited (LoRaWAN data rates range from 0.3 kbps to 50 kbps). This can become a problem when an edge device only has intermittent contact with the servers and needs to deliver large packets of data. Read more...

High Quality Graphics Using Only Internal Memory

TouchGFX allows you to have high quality graphics on your devices without using external SD-RAM.

Users expect smartphone look and feel, not acknowledging the constraints of limited resources on microcontroller setups. The user expectations require 16-bit color depth normally pushing one to use external SD-RAM for two framebuffers. This requirement for external memory increases the complexity and cost of the hardware development and production cost. We experience a hard push from high volume product manufactures towards saving of external RAM, accepting only a minor UI performance limitation.

Software Archaeology in Practice; Recovering lost behaviour from legacy code

A presentation at Embedded World 2017 – by Robert C. Howe, CEO Verum Software Tools BV. 
Reengineering legacy software is risky, undesirable but nevertheless occasionally unavoidable. The core challenge is to efficiently and effectively uncover the behaviour of a legacy system. At Embedded World 2017, Verum will present a paper entitled “Software Archaeology: Recovering lost behaviour from legacy code”. We will explain how the behaviour of entire legacy (sub) systems can be systematically rediscovered and captured in verifiably complete and correct Dezyne models, which then provide a basis for further reengineering. We will also be demonstrating this technique at our stand. Facing challenges with your legacy code base?  Read more about our presentation..
