Issue 4: On the Move
Welcome to the fourth edition of Embedded Magazine. In this issue we examine the industry problem of obsolescence that is often created by movement and change within the fast-paced semiconductor marketplace.
We welcome embedded industry veteran Jerry Krasner of Embedded Market Forecasters as he summarizes his survey data of embedded customer choices in his article, “Embedded Users Tell EMF Who’s Hot, Who’s Not.” In addition, we welcome our newest partner, LynuxWorks, with an article on support for MicroBlaze and PowerPC™ processors, as well as insightful articles from Agilent, Sunrise Telecom, Impulse, Codetronix, and others. And of course, distribution partners such as Avnet drive our “on the move” theme with their latest innovations for Xilinx embedded platforms. And finally, our own product experts offer additional insights into various embedded processing technologies and design challenges.
This site allows you to download individual articles for reading. If you would like to read the magazine in its
entirety, you may register for a FREE subscription available in our new digital format.
