Dear Readers,<br />
VIEWPOINT<br />
Exhibitions E are often used as an <strong>in</strong>dicator<br />
t for the economic health of an<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry i segment or the <strong>in</strong>dustry as a<br />
whole. w The up<strong>com</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>Embedded</strong> World<br />
is i such a seismograph for the embedded<br />
boards b and solution bus<strong>in</strong>ess and will<br />
reflect r the activities of suppliers and<br />
customers c for the year 2010. The<br />
<strong>Embedded</strong> E World 2010 <strong>in</strong> Nuremberg,<br />
Germany G is <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g and important<br />
enough e for Intel as the launch site for<br />
new n embedded products. They<br />
launched l year after year new technologies<br />
i at the h exhibition hib i i i for f the h embedded b<br />
market and so managed to over<strong>com</strong>e<br />
tough times through <strong>in</strong>novation. To ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> and further develop<br />
this expertise <strong>in</strong> the embedded market will be a difficult challenge for<br />
<strong>Europe</strong> as the outsourc<strong>in</strong>g of production is expected by OEM customers<br />
who hope thereby to lower pric<strong>in</strong>g and raise marg<strong>in</strong>s. Look<strong>in</strong>g at the pure<br />
labour costs, this assessment is correct, but production of high tech electronics<br />
is less and less labour <strong>in</strong>tensive but more reliant on eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
quality and process technology. The tight <strong>in</strong>tegration of eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g, cont<strong>in</strong>uous<br />
process improvement and fast adaptation of new technologies<br />
is the key and is also the strength of many <strong>Europe</strong>an <strong>com</strong>panies from<br />
Scand<strong>in</strong>avia to Turkey. Close relationships to numerous local embedded<br />
OEM customers and a m<strong>in</strong>e of application know-how will support the<br />
<strong>in</strong>novation cycle for higher <strong>in</strong>tegration levels. OEM customers <strong>in</strong> turn<br />
benefit from the large number of small to medium local suppliers <strong>in</strong> the<br />
<strong>Europe</strong>an countries. With the demand for <strong>com</strong>plementary system solutions<br />
such as match<strong>in</strong>g boards, displays, memory and mass storage devices,<br />
<strong>com</strong>panies like MSC Vertriebs GmbH provide <strong>com</strong>plete kits <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
cables and accessories to cut the time to market and to further<br />
shr<strong>in</strong>k the <strong>in</strong>novation cycles for OEMs. Cutt<strong>in</strong>g down the time to market<br />
is necessary to keep the bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> the region and to develop a unique<br />
value proposition <strong>in</strong> global bus<strong>in</strong>ess world.<br />
As most of <strong>Europe</strong>an suppliers are too small to generate significant impact<br />
with their own <strong>in</strong>novations, many of them have started to cooperate<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustry consortia such as Qseven or PICMG. The <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> help<strong>in</strong>g<br />
each other with <strong>com</strong>b<strong>in</strong>ed market<strong>in</strong>g, eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g specifications and<br />
true second source capability has <strong>in</strong>creased substantially over the last<br />
couple of years. The boundary between the application and the <strong>com</strong>puter<br />
core is today the <strong>com</strong>puter-on-module connector technology.<br />
While Qseven is address<strong>in</strong>g fanless, mobile and <strong>com</strong>pact systems, COM<br />
Express offers superior performance <strong>in</strong> <strong>com</strong>pute power and graphics <strong>in</strong>terfaces.<br />
The def<strong>in</strong>ition of the formats, <strong>in</strong>terfaces and p<strong>in</strong> outs were developed<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>ly with the experience of <strong>Europe</strong>an board level manufacturers,<br />
MSC be<strong>in</strong>g one of them. It would be helpful, if more OEM customers<br />
found their way to jo<strong>in</strong> such <strong>in</strong>dustry consortia and to contribute<br />
with application requirements and deployment know-how. This w<strong>in</strong>w<strong>in</strong><br />
situation will strengthen our <strong>in</strong>dustry and help to grow local bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
with short <strong>in</strong>novation cycles. So watch out at the exhibition for <strong>in</strong>novations,<br />
for tight <strong>in</strong>tegration of system <strong>com</strong>ponents, like boards and<br />
displays which will shorten your design cycle. This will create leaders,<br />
not followers and generate through <strong>in</strong>novation new applications and<br />
markets for future growth to break out of the 2009 market decl<strong>in</strong>e.<br />

■ Smart people built the Internet. Now, <strong>in</strong>telligent<br />
embedded devices are rapidly populat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
it, jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the 1.7 billion people onl<strong>in</strong>e. 1 Intel<br />
and the Intel ® <strong>Embedded</strong> Alliance are help<strong>in</strong>g<br />
fuel this proliferation of connectivity. Em bedded<br />
devices with built-<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>telligence for everyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />
from energy efficiency to active management<br />
and security are <strong>com</strong>municat<strong>in</strong>g and controll<strong>in</strong>g<br />
one another onl<strong>in</strong>e, signal<strong>in</strong>g a new era<br />
<strong>in</strong> the young but quickly grow<strong>in</strong>g embedded Internet.<br />
Roughly 5 billion devices are connected to the<br />
Internet and 15 billion are expected onl<strong>in</strong>e by<br />
2015. 2 Home appliances, electric meters, w<strong>in</strong>d<br />
turb<strong>in</strong>es, medical devices, retail signs, tra<strong>in</strong>s,<br />
factory robotics, surveillance systems, grocery<br />
carts, and cars are gett<strong>in</strong>g connected, driv<strong>in</strong>g an<br />
unstoppable transformation all around us.<br />
With its long history <strong>in</strong> the embedded <strong>in</strong>dustry<br />
and its ecosystem, Intel is <strong>in</strong> the driver’s seat<br />
and shift<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to high gear with new and better<br />
ways to add <strong>in</strong>telligence to devices. Intel and the<br />
Intel <strong>Embedded</strong> Alliance provide the necessary<br />
<strong>in</strong>gredients to <strong>in</strong>still embedded devices with all<br />
k<strong>in</strong>ds of <strong>in</strong>telligence, as well as to make you look<br />
smarter by shorten<strong>in</strong>g your time-to-market.<br />
This <strong>in</strong>cludes a full range of Intel ® embedded<br />
processors and product technologies, plus a<br />
<strong>com</strong>plete choice of boards, software, programm<strong>in</strong>g/development<br />
tools, and <strong>in</strong>tegration services.<br />
We discussed how important 2010 will be to the<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry and what the Alliance will br<strong>in</strong>g to the<br />
table, with Steve Sciarappo, General Manager,<br />
Intel ® <strong>Embedded</strong> and Communications Group,<br />
Market<strong>in</strong>g and Bus<strong>in</strong>ess Operations.<br />
Q: In recent years, Intel has really expanded its<br />
embedded product l<strong>in</strong>e and focused on the<br />
embedded space. Why?<br />
A: The reality is that Intel ® architecture has fueled<br />
<strong>in</strong>novation <strong>in</strong> the embedded space for<br />
more than 30 years. The growth you are see<strong>in</strong>g<br />
today reflects our drive to br<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>telligence and connectivity to every em-<br />
bedded device–and we are well on our way to<br />
meet<strong>in</strong>g that goal. Intel processors are now<br />
found <strong>in</strong> a lot of amaz<strong>in</strong>g places with products<br />
that span nearly every segment of the<br />
embedded <strong>in</strong>dustry, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g medical, digital<br />
signage, In-Vehicle Infota<strong>in</strong>ment (IVI), and<br />
factory automation, among others.<br />
The embedded Internet is the <strong>com</strong>mon theme<br />
<strong>in</strong> these applications. As we seek to connect the<br />
embedded world, it only makes sense to use an<br />
architecture that is already popular for Internetconnected<br />
home and bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>com</strong>put<strong>in</strong>g. By<br />
deploy<strong>in</strong>g Intel silicon, the embedded <strong>in</strong>dustry<br />
can maximize the enormous software <strong>in</strong>vestment<br />
already made <strong>in</strong> Intel architecture. Not<br />
only do Internet- connected embedded devices<br />
run well on Intel architecture, but organizations<br />
can also reuse and repurpose software across<br />
multiple product l<strong>in</strong>es and future generations of<br />
products.<br />
Q: If I were an embedded developer or orig<strong>in</strong>al<br />
equipment manufacturer (OEM) us<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
different architecture, why should I consider<br />
switch<strong>in</strong>g?<br />
March 2010 6<br />
A: I’d answer that by ask<strong>in</strong>g how hard you want<br />
to work to keep up. As the world grows <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly<br />
connected, do you really want to spend resources<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g multiple code bases and<br />
tools for multiple architectures? Or would you<br />
rather take advantage of development efficiencies<br />
that <strong>com</strong>e from rely<strong>in</strong>g on a s<strong>in</strong>gle architecture?<br />
Intel architecture has an enormous base of exist<strong>in</strong>g<br />
software, and the broadest set of software<br />
development tools and open source software libraries<br />
and utilities. This <strong>com</strong>b<strong>in</strong>ation can help<br />
organizations speed up software development<br />
cycles and shorten time-to-market.<br />
Another advantage is the sheer number of Intel<br />
architecture-based, off-the-shelf solutions available<br />
from Alliance members. No other embedded<br />
architecture offers this breadth of products<br />
<strong>in</strong> so many standard and custom form factors.<br />
This means embedded developers can tap <strong>in</strong>to<br />
the full scalability of our product l<strong>in</strong>e, from the<br />
power-efficient Intel ® Atom processors to the<br />
all new Intel ® Core i3/i5/i7 processors and the<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry-lead<strong>in</strong>g performance/watt of the<br />
multi-core Intel ® Xeon ® pro cessors. This range<br />
of off-the-shelf solutions makes it easy to buy
COVER STORY<br />
Steve Sciarappo: “Intel ® processors are now<br />
found <strong>in</strong> a lot of amaz<strong>in</strong>g places with products<br />
that span nearly every segment of the<br />
embedded <strong>in</strong>dustry.”<br />
the right board for each product. Our top-tobottom<br />
range of pro cessors and chipsets has fueled<br />
an explosion of offer<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> small form factor<br />
designs.<br />
Q: Speak<strong>in</strong>g of a full embedded product l<strong>in</strong>e,<br />
Intel has announced a reassur<strong>in</strong>g seven-year<br />
lifecycle support for many new embedded<br />
processors released <strong>in</strong> the first quarter of this<br />
year. What are some other reasons to get excited<br />
about these processors?<br />
A: Intel began the year with a bang by <strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g<br />
10 new processors for the embedded market.<br />
Us<strong>in</strong>g 32nm process technology, the new 2010<br />
Intel ® Core i7 processors, and Intel ® Core i5<br />
processors and Intel ® Core i3 paired with the<br />
mobile Intel ® QM57 Express chipset, are the most<br />
<strong>in</strong>telligent processors available from Intel. What<br />
I mean by “<strong>in</strong>telligent” is these processors take<br />
<strong>in</strong>telligent, adaptive performance to a new level,<br />
especially when it <strong>com</strong>es to energy efficiency. Deploy<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Intel ® Core processor-based systems, an<br />
IT adm<strong>in</strong>istrator at a bank could improve power<br />
efficiency and management of system workloads,<br />
for embedded applications like <strong>in</strong>formation<br />
kiosks, digital signs, and ATMs.<br />
Four of the Intel Core i7/i5 processors (Core i7-<br />
610E, Core i7-620LE, Core i7-620UE and Core i5-<br />
520E) were designed to <strong>in</strong>clude Error Correct<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Code (ECC), which corrects memory without the<br />
need for system reset and is critical for designs that<br />
require high data <strong>in</strong>tegrity standards. ECC <strong>in</strong><br />
smart retail registers, for <strong>in</strong>stance, helps protect<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st register system memory errors that could<br />
result <strong>in</strong> numerical miscalculations.<br />
Q: We hear there is excitement about the<br />
desktop Intel ® Core processors f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g their<br />
way <strong>in</strong>to embedded applications. Can you<br />
expla<strong>in</strong>?<br />
A: You must mean the Intel ® Core i5-660 and<br />
Core i3-540 processors paired with the Intel ®<br />
Q57 Express and the Intel ® 3450 chipsets. This<br />
two-chip solution <strong>in</strong>tegrates the graphics eng<strong>in</strong>e<br />
<strong>in</strong> the processor deliver<strong>in</strong>g enhanced graphics<br />
support for visually demand<strong>in</strong>g applications<br />
such as retail POS, digital signage, gam<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
medical imag<strong>in</strong>g, and <strong>in</strong>dustrial automation<br />
and control. This, <strong>com</strong>b<strong>in</strong>ed with simultaneous<br />
multithread<strong>in</strong>g, performance-boost<strong>in</strong>g technologies,<br />
remote manageability, and <strong>in</strong>tegrated<br />
memory controller, offers serious performance<br />
improvements while sav<strong>in</strong>g valuable board<br />
real estate.<br />
Q: What do the new Intel ® Xeon ® and Intel ®<br />
Atom processors mean to the embedded<br />
market?<br />
A: In February we launched the new Intel ®<br />
Xeon ® processor C5500/C3500 series <strong>com</strong>b<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
with the Intel ® 3420 chipset. For the<br />
first time, Intel eng<strong>in</strong>eers have <strong>in</strong>tegrated<br />
PCI Express * (PCIe * ) and all <strong>in</strong>put/output<br />
(I/O) functions onto a dual-process<strong>in</strong>g Intel<br />
Xeon processor, which greatly facilitates<br />
dense storage and <strong>com</strong>munications solutions<br />
such as IPTV, On-Demand Video<br />
Services, and wireless radio network controllers.<br />
The Intel Xeon processor<br />
C3500/C5500 series ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>s the outstand<strong>in</strong>g<br />
performance of our latest Intel architecture<br />
(Nehalem), while lower<strong>in</strong>g system<br />
power consumption by at least 27 watts<br />
when <strong>com</strong>pared to the Intel ® Xeon ® 5500 series<br />
processors. 3 For smaller form factor, low<br />
power applications, we <strong>in</strong>troduced the first<br />
dual-core Intel ® Atom processor D510 for<br />
embedded. With <strong>in</strong>tegrated graphics media<br />
accelerator and memory controller, this<br />
processor offers a smaller footpr<strong>in</strong>t, better<br />
efficiency, and enhanced performance and<br />
system responsiveness.<br />
Q: Can you give us some examples of the<br />
<strong>in</strong>novations you’re see<strong>in</strong>g from Intel ®<br />
<strong>Embedded</strong> Alliance members?<br />
A: That could fill a book, but here’s a look at<br />
what some of our Premier Alliance members<br />
are do<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Kontron plans to deliver several new products<br />
<strong>in</strong> 2010 based on the Intel Core i7 processor.<br />
Recently they <strong>in</strong>troduced what could be the<br />
market’s most powerful, s<strong>in</strong>gle-width AdvancedMC<br />
processor module, designed with<br />
the new Intel Core i7 processor. The Kontron<br />
AM4020 offers the ultimate <strong>in</strong> <strong>com</strong>put<strong>in</strong>g<br />
March 2010 8<br />
power and <strong>in</strong>tegrated graphics when used <strong>in</strong><br />
MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA ® <strong>in</strong>tegrated<br />
platforms and it is ideal for use <strong>in</strong> tele<strong>com</strong>munications<br />
applications and test systems for<br />
wirel<strong>in</strong>e networks.<br />
RadiSys developed a low-power s<strong>in</strong>gle board<br />
<strong>com</strong>puter (SBC) based on an Intel Atom<br />
processor for the <strong>in</strong>-home display sector. This<br />
product can be used <strong>in</strong> equipment that tracks<br />
energy usage and utility pric<strong>in</strong>g. On the upper<br />
end, they announced the Procelerant <br />
CEQM57 COM Express module us<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
new Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and mobile<br />
Intel QM57 Express chipset. These modules<br />
raise the bar for medical imag<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>com</strong>munications,<br />
military-aerospace, and test and<br />
measurement applications that require high levels<br />
of performance.<br />
Emerson Network Power released four new<br />
products featur<strong>in</strong>g the embedded Intel Core i7<br />
and Core i5 processor and the mobile Intel<br />
QM57 Express chipset. Form factors <strong>in</strong>clude<br />
MicroATX * , COM Express, 6U VME and 3U<br />
CompactPCI, address<strong>in</strong>g a wide range of<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustrial, medical and military/aerospace<br />
applications, and digital signage and retail and<br />
<strong>in</strong>teractive kiosks. These new platforms feature<br />
high quality digital graphics, advanced management<br />
capabilities and the <strong>in</strong>tegrated Intel ®<br />
Trusted Platform Module enhances data<br />
security and encryption.<br />
Advantech announced an All-<strong>in</strong>-One Digital<br />

COVER STORY<br />
Q: What about application software<br />
developments?<br />
A: Great question. Software solutions are a critical<br />
element of the Alliance’s offer<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />
and we are excited about the developments<br />
happen<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> this area. For example, Associate<br />
member Microsoft recently released the newest<br />
version of the Microsoft W<strong>in</strong>dows ® <strong>Embedded</strong><br />
Auto software platform. This platform builds<br />
on the Intel Atom processor to deliver engag<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>-vehicle experiences with rich user <strong>in</strong>terfaces.<br />
The <strong>Embedded</strong> Auto platform is a great example<br />
of a solution that helps developers deliver<br />
market-lead<strong>in</strong>g products with remarkably low<br />
time-to-market.<br />
We are also work<strong>in</strong>g with Microsoft on an optimized<br />
digital signage platform for retail and<br />
hospitality markets. This high performance,<br />
highly reliable solution is powered by the Intel<br />
Core i7 processor and built with the Microsoft<br />
W<strong>in</strong>dows ® 7-based, Microsoft W<strong>in</strong>dows ® <strong>Embedded</strong><br />
Standard 2011 operat<strong>in</strong>g system. We expect<br />
this solution to fuel a whole new generation<br />
of digital signage applications–it will enable<br />
some impressive <strong>in</strong>novation.<br />
Q: What is the story on developments tools?<br />
A: Tools are a key focus area for several Alliance<br />
members, and this is an area where the Alliance<br />
really sh<strong>in</strong>es, particularly when it <strong>com</strong>es to<br />
real-time operat<strong>in</strong>g systems. Associate member<br />
W<strong>in</strong>d River is lead<strong>in</strong>g the charge there, provid<strong>in</strong>g<br />
a <strong>com</strong>prehensive set of platforms and development<br />

For a veritable who’s who <strong>in</strong> help<strong>in</strong>g you over<strong>com</strong>e design challenges <strong>in</strong><br />
your <strong>in</strong>telligent devices for the embedded Internet, look no further than<br />
the Intel ® <strong>Embedded</strong> Alliance. The Alliance provides real technology leadership<br />
and a reliable supply l<strong>in</strong>e of <strong>in</strong>novation and performance based on<br />
the latest Intel ® embedded products and technologies.<br />
As Intel has expanded and grown its focus on an <strong>in</strong>telligent, connected<br />
universe of devices, so has the Alliance. Its more than 200 worldwide<br />
members <strong>in</strong>clude a diverse group of board manufacturers, operat<strong>in</strong>g system<br />
and software <strong>com</strong>panies, BIOS developers, and system <strong>in</strong>tegrators<br />
all rally<strong>in</strong>g around the enormous potential of the embedded Internet. Intel<br />
<strong>Embedded</strong> Alliance Director Troy Smith predicts 2010 will be a “notable<br />
year where Intel and Alliance members deliver significant smart solutions<br />
that will <strong>com</strong>pel yet more eng<strong>in</strong>eers and developers to switch over to Intel<br />
architecture.”<br />

solutions are another critical solution for multicore,<br />
offer<strong>in</strong>g visibility and system-level control<br />
of the CPU cores, their peripherals, and OS<br />
kernel objects such as threads, tasks, and<br />

provides embedded virtualization capabilities<br />
for our processors. Virtualization gives developers<br />
<strong>in</strong>credible flexibility <strong>in</strong> multicore software<br />
deployment, and it can greatly simplify the development<br />
process.<br />
Q: What advice do you have for today’s<br />
embedded developer?<br />
A: The emergence of the embedded Internet is<br />
<strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g a new set of challenges <strong>in</strong>to embedded<br />
system design. One big challenge is select<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the right solutions–developers have to<br />
th<strong>in</strong>k about new technologies and new <strong>com</strong>ponents<br />
that were never required before. This is<br />
where the Intel <strong>Embedded</strong> Alliance <strong>com</strong>es <strong>in</strong>.<br />

is not an issue. But orig<strong>in</strong>ality is. In the semiconductor world,<br />
as <strong>in</strong> the world of art, copies will always fall short. Our<br />
customers around the world agree. The Gartner Report*<br />
confirmed that V850 MCUs are once aga<strong>in</strong> the top-seller <strong>in</strong><br />
the 32-bit master class.<br />

� Over 500 different device variants<br />
� 4th product generation go<strong>in</strong>g stronger than ever<br />
� Technical consultancy beyond the call of duty<br />
� Excellent delivery record and reliability<br />
And the power of <strong>in</strong>novaton – for example, <strong>in</strong> the field of<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex system protection functions – will keep our V850<br />
microcontrollers <strong>in</strong> the limelight, however deeply embedded.<br />

■ AdaCore launches source code<br />
analysis tool<br />
AdaCore announces the release of CodePeer, a<br />
source code analysis tool that detects run-time<br />
and logic errors <strong>in</strong> Ada programs. CodePeer<br />
identifies constructs that are likely to lead to<br />
run-time errors such as buffer overflows, and it<br />
flags legal but suspect code typical of logic errors.<br />
Go<strong>in</strong>g well beyond the capabilities of typical<br />
static analysis tools, CodePeer also produces<br />
a detailed analysis of each subprogram, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
pre- and postconditions. Such an<br />
analysis makes it easier to f<strong>in</strong>d potential bugs<br />
and vulnerabilities early: if the implicit specification<br />
deduced by CodePeer does not match<br />
the <strong>com</strong>ponent’s requirements, a reviewer is<br />
alerted immediately to a likely logic error.<br />
