emBO++ – embedded conference online
Later this week is an online embedded conference; the interestingly named emBO++, at which I have two sessions:
Power Management in Embedded Systems [Thursday 18:00 CET]
The importance of power management in today’s embedded designs has been steadily growing as an increasing number of battery powered devices are developed. Often power optimizations are left to the very end of the project cycle, almost as an afterthought. In this paper we will discuss design considerations that should be made when starting a new power sensitive embedded design, which include choosing the hardware with desired capabilities, defining a hardware architecture that will allow software to dynamically control power consumption, defining appropriate power usage profiles, making the appropriate choice of an operating system and drivers, choosing measurable power goals and providing these goals to the software development team to track throughout the development process.
Selecting an Embedded Operating System [Friday 16:00 CET]
Most modern embedded systems employ an operating system [OS] of some kind, and this necessitates some critical design decisions. Should you obtain a commercially available OS, choose one of the “free” offerings, or develop one in-house? If the acquisition of a commercial OS is planned, how do you make the selection? This session reviews in detail all the facets of the make vs. buy and OS selection decisions – both technical and commercial – for an OS on an embedded design.
There are also a great many other interesting speakers. The event is, I believe, free of charge.
If you would like a copy of either of my presentations, please contact me by email or via social media.
