As I outlined recently<\/a>, I am attending a number of conferences in the next couple of weeks. The first one, next week, is ARM TechCon<\/a> in Santa Clara, CA. This event spans 3 days – 29-31 October. The conference itself covers all 3 days; the exhibition is just days 2 and 3.<\/p>\n

Each year this event seems to expand in size and scope and I have more things to do there …<\/p>\n

Mentor Graphics has a significant presence<\/a> at the event this year, with multiple divisions being involved. Mentor Embedded will have a demo available throughout the exhibition in booth #201.<\/p>\n

I have two papers in the conference and another event:<\/p>\n

Interprocessor Communications and MCAPI<\/h3>\n

MCAPI is a standardized API for communication and synchronization between closely distributed cores and\/or processors in embedded systems, defined and maintained by the Multicore Association.<\/p>\n

This session outlines what MCAPI is, how it works and how it may be deployed in multicore systems. Included is a complete review of the API and example code to illustrate its usage.<\/p>\n

Wednesday at 10:30 am:<\/h4>\n

USB 3 – An Introduction for Embedded Software Developers<\/h3>\n

USB is widely deployed in embedded devices of all kinds, resulting in simple interconnectivity and interoperability. This simplicity comes at a cost: the internal functions of USB are quite complex. This is of no consequence to the user of a USB-enabled device, but the embedded software developer does need some understanding of USB internals. Even if a commercial USB stack is employed, an appreciation of how it works enables it to be used optimally.<\/p>\n

In this session, the history and internal operation of USB will be reprised in detail. Then, the changes and enhancements that come along with USB 3 will be reviewed.<\/p>\n

Wednesday at 4 pm:<\/h4>\n

Meet and Greet – A chance to put faces to names …<\/h3>\n

Although I will be around during most of the show time, this is a specific time when I will be available at the booth. If you are around at ARM TechCon, do stop by and say hello.<\/p>\n
