Kontron to deploy Intel 6th Gen Intel® Core™
Processor family K
ontron announced that the latest 6th generation Intel® Core™ Processor will power new Kontron boards and modules to be released in early 2016. With these boards, Kontron’s customers can take full advantage of Intel’s latest and most powerful processor version, Skylake-H and U processors. Kontron maximises its product portfolio with new long life DDR4 SODIMM memory with up to 32 GB, which is also available as ECC memory. Products featuring Intel® 6th generation Intel® Core™ Processor technology will include several models of Kontron COM Express® Computer-on-Modules (COM) in the standard form factor, COMe Basic (based on Intel Skylake-H processor) as well as in COMe Compact (based on Intel® Skylake-U processor). Samples for products based on Skylake-U will be available for customer test in November and samples for products based on Skylake-H in first quarter 2016. Additions to the Kontron motherboard range including Mini-ITX and Flex-ATX, as well as other form factors will follow.

ongatec AG has introduced four new COM Express compact modules parallel to the launch of the new 6th generation Intel Core processors (codename Skylake). The new modules are specially designed for challenging applications that demand high performance in sealed, fanless system designs. They feature a 15 watt configurable TDP and are equipped exclusively with the energy-saving ULV-SoC editions based on new 14nm microarchitecture. Compared to 15 watt modules with fifth generation processors (codename Broadwell), users benefit from improvements in graphics and processing performance, enhanced energy efficiency and more high- speed I/Os.

Green Hills Software Enhances µ-velOSity Real-Time Operating G
reen Hills Software, the largest independent software supplier for the Internet of Things, has announced a major release of its ultra-small footprint µ-velOSity™ real-time operating system (RTOS) with new support for the latest processor architectures, improved performance optimizations and expanded security and safety features. When combined with versatile middleware products from Green Hills and its technology partners, µ-velOSity and the MULTI® integrated development environment offer an ultra-small and fast software platform to quickly develop
and efficiently run applications on resource constrained devices such as IoT wearables, home automation and connected industrial sensors. Today’s battery-powered or deeply embedded devices are being tasked to run increasingly complex software applications on microcontrollers with limited memory and clock speeds, with secure connectivity to other devices and the cloud. In addition, shrinking development schedules and growing code bases demand high quality and easy-to-use development tools that shorten the software development cycle and increase software code quality. Memory, processing cycles and power are at a premium in IoT and deeply embedded systems. µ-velOSity was designed to use the smallest number of CPU clock cycles and memory, requiring only 1.6 KB of ROM. This alleviates the need for slower and expensive off-chip memory, enabling “instant-on” booting, faster execution speed and more memory for applications. The µ-velOSity API is simple, intuitive and easy to use. Complete source code for the RTOS and select middleware is included, making it easy for developers to understand and configure µ-velOSity to meet their specific requirements while only including the necessary RTOS services. The Project Wizard and application examples build a new application in minutes. Integrated middleware saves significant development time when adding communication, connectivity and graphics capability. Meanwhile, the comprehensive MULTI suite of integrated development tools for µ-velOSity enables developers to bring to market more quickly a higher performing and more reliable product. Key feature advantages include kernel aware debugging, record- setting C/C++ compilers and integrated code quality tools providing developers control and visibility into stack performance, run-time errors and MISRA-C adherence. µ-velOSity 2.6.2 is available today.
