Philips Semiconductors announced Internet networking capabilities for its 8XC51RX+ family of microcontrollers. Philips Semiconductors provides networking capabilities for general control systems using its 8-bit RX+ microcontrollers through a port of EMIT (Embedded Micro Internetworking Technology from emWare, Inc.
Philips Semiconductors' RX+ family of 8-bit, single-chip microcontrollers contains up to 64K bytes of ROM or non-volatile flash program memory. This flash memory is both parallel programmable and serial in-system programmable. In-system programming allows devices to alter their own program memory in the actual end product under software control. All RX+ microcontrollers include a programmable counter/time array (PCA) and hardware watchdog timer. Adding network capabilities to embedded devices with the RX+ microcontroller provides access to data from the devices, which can provide information. EMIT software enables access to these devices through any type of network, connecting to any type of application or user interface.
At the core of EMIT software's distributed networking architecture is a micro Web server-the industry's smallest-that uses as little as 1K byte of memory at the device. Standard Internet technologies, such as Java, HTTP and a Web browser interface are used to access, control and monitor devices through emGateway, the communication link between IP networks and lightweight networks (I2C, RS485, CAN, RF). The user interface is a standard Web browser in most applications, using industry standard browser technology to reduce client-side development. The user interface can operate on a remote Web browser, a directly connected laptop, or even a handheld PDA. Where a user interface is not necessary, it can connect directly to an application or database. EMIT's open, distributed network solution provides a complete software toolkit for networking embedded devices.
The emWare Software Developers Kit, which includes EMIT software is currently available through the emStore on EDTN News at www.emstore.edtn.com or by calling emWare at 1-877-4-EMWARE (1-877-436-9273).

***Cadence announces its Hardware and Software product (November 2)
Cadence Design Systems unveiled its first hardware and software (HW/SW) co-development products for managing the complexity and diverse nature of the system building blocks found in today's first-generation systems-on-a-chip (SOC).
The strategy uses a SOC front-end for the functional specification and verification of reusable HW/SW virtual components starting at the system level. As a result, HW and SW architects can identify and solve system integration and performance issues early in the development cycle. The first phase of Cadence's co-development product roadmap leverages the new Affirma HW/SW verifier for co-verification- shipping in production this quarter-and the virtual component co-design (VCC) products developed through Cadence's Felix Initiative. The VCC products are currently in pilot engagements with Felix partners and are now available on a limited basis through an early adopter program.
Cadence offers an approach to system design that enables HW/SW co-development spanning from system specification and architectural evaluation to SOC integration. It raises the abstraction of the traditional design process from hardware implementation to "virtual" system prototyping. Using virtual components, system architects can rapidly explore HW/SW design trade-offs at the architectural level, and HW and SW designers can verify the functionality of HW and SW implementations within the context of the target system. By automating a specification-based flow, there is a higher degree of confidence and the risk is minimized between system designers (virtual component integrators) and their implementers and suppliers (virtual component providers).
The Affirma HW/SW verifier lets designers achieve greater efficiency and apply the optimum level of verification during the refinement stages of the virtual system. The first release of the HW/SW verifier product includes:
· System-driven co-verification engine that enables mixed-language simulation (Verilog and VHDL) of virtual components based on the Cadence interleaved native compiled code architecture (INCA). The engine also leverages OMI-packaged system testbenches generated by the Cadence SPW and BONeS products.
· Open application interface for the integration of real-time operating systems (RTOS), SW debuggers, and other third-party or proprietary tools including in-circuit emulators (ICE), accelerators, and emulators.
· Model support at multiple levels of abstraction (register transfer level, instruction set simulator, bus functional, cycle accurate) for leading-edge technologies from companies initially including Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) and Motorola.First unveiled in December 1997, the Cadence Felix Initiative team is creating the industry's first development environment for the rapid evaluation of system architecture through the co-design and reuse of SW and HW intellectual property (IP) in the form of virtual components at the system level. It provides the missing link between existing system-level modeling capabilities (Cadence SPW and BONeS products) and new co-verification products (Cadence Affirma HW/SW verifier).
After just nine months, the Felix Initiative team delivered the first VCC products to its partners, engaged in pilot projects, and it has moved to the proliferation phase. More than 50 seats have been purchased to date.
Members of the early adopter programs are given advance access to VCC technologies and consulting services. The program specifically targets virtual component providers and systems companies who wish to develop and promote leading-edge intellectual property (IP) to the Felix Initiative partners. A developer's guide is provided to aid the creation of both HW and SW virtual components.
The Cadence incubator development model is used to refine design methodology/technology through direct, ongoing interaction with partners and early adopters. Senior consulting engineers and technologists work closely with partners during pilot projects, enabling the Cadence development team to rapidly integrate customer feedback into product enhancements. This approach has been successfully applied to other Cadence products such as the recently announced Affirma equivalence checker.
The Affirma HW/SW verifier is shipping this quarter at the U.S. list price of $40,000. It is supported on UNIX-based workstations from Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard. The first release of the Cadence VCC products are available to Felix Initiative partners and members of the early adopter program.

***Motorola Delivers EmbeddedJava Virtual Machine (November 2)
Motorola announced its first implementation of EmbeddedJava technology for the M.CORE microprocessor that enables customers to quickly deliver devices using the Java programming language in a reduced memory environment. This implementation is the first Java Virtual Machine introduced by Motorola since licensing the Java technology from Sun Microsystems last year.
The first version of EmbeddedJava to operate on an deeply embedded processor in the industry, Motorola's implementation was validated on the M.CORE EmbeddedJava Reference Platform, consisting of a graphics LCD, keyboard and M.CORE processor, Flash memory and RAM. Demonstrating the platform independent capability to uploaded Java programs, a desktop Java program was downloaded on to the board. Fully networkable through an Ethernet card, the board also allows for use of Java programs remotely.
EmbeddedJava software consists of core and standard extension APIs, and is designed specifically for severely resource-constrained environments. EmbeddedJava solutions allow for configurability of Java class libraries while maintaining the core benefits of the Java virtual machine, therefore applications are upward compatible to both the PersonalJava platform and the Java Application Environment. Designed to complement the real-time operating systems in consumer devices, EmbeddedJava programs allow portable applications to run Java programs and connect to any network.
With EmbeddedJava, applications such as mobile phones, wireless web browsers and pagers, can interact with desktop Java applications independently of the platform they are running on. Software is kept small and light due to interaction with a back-end server. Motorola's initial port sits on top of the RTEK operating system and can be ported to other operating systems supporting the M.CORE architecture. Operating system vendors that support both M.CORE and EmbededJava include Microtek, Microware and Wind River. An instructional porting guide will be made available for these operating systems in Q1 1999.
***VLSI Velocity and Wind River Systems Software Tools Connect for Embedded Hardware/Software Co-Design (November 2)
VLSI Technology announced a linkage with Wind River Systems' Tornado development environment and VxWorks embedded operating system. Hardware/software co-design makes a contribution to using VLSI's Rapid Silicon Prototyping products ability to cut embedded system-on-a-chip design time.
The VLSI Velocity RSP7 prototyping system ships with a VxWorks Board Support Package (BSP) and micro driver source code for IP blocks in the RSP7 deconfigurable ASIC. This enables developers to run applications written for the VxWorks operating system on the RSP7 board. Furthermore, the connectivity options offered by the RSP7 -- including serial communications, JTAG debugging ports and Ethernet via PCIbus-establish a connection between RSP7 boards and development-host computers running compilers, debuggers and other tools.
Hardware/software co-development, the ability to perform IC and software design simultaneously, has become in embedded computing. By designing hardware and writing software at the same time, engineering teams can lower product development times, improve the quality and include more features.
