Model-Based Design for Embedded Software
Model-based design (MBD) is a framework used in virtual prototyping of embedded software. MBD has evolved to overcome various difficulties and complexities that typically arise during the design lifecycle of embedded software for closed-loop control systems. Such software needs to be designed in an iterative manner with extensive involvement of multi-disciplinary teams. In most practical scenarios, the need for embedded software design has to start early (as well as tested) before physical prototypes and systems are made available. Read more
Ongoing trends in IoT device lifecycle management
IoT device lifecycle management is the key element for industries to have complete insight and control of their devices infrastructure. Today, device lifecycle management enables many industries to transition to ‘smart’ ecosystems, like smart energy (a.k.a Internet of Energy or smart grid), smart buildings, smart retail, smart transportation, smart cities, smart factories, and smart agriculture.

Challenges and Opportunities for the Semiconductor Industry in the IoT
With the ongoing pace of IoT development, semiconductor companies are set to benefit from newer innovations across the technology value chain. They can gain more traction by providing comprehensive solutions beyond semiconductor solutions, which include hardware design, software and systems integration for products and applications. The digitization of sensors, wearables and networking technologies increases the demand for semiconductor products. Read More
Improving DevOps Success with Well-Defined Metrics
Successful product development requires effective and constant communication between various teams through well-defined metrics, not only to reduce the engineering operations overhead but also to improve on the overall engineering deliverables. These metrics, including ROI or profitability, mean time to recover and deployment frequency provide a clearer picture to an engineering or business owner on how the Dev and Ops teams are working, their adherence to processes and guidelines and the technology they’re using.

Correlation of Routability and Placement Density for better QoR in 16nm technology
In any physical design procedure, Placement and Routing are the two chief steps. To get better QoR in routing, engineers tend to give a first glance to placement density. In this article, we will discuss the method to figure out the range of placement density through various practical data. Using that range, any design can be routable with better QoR. For the sake of discussion, our concentration will be solely on 16nm technology Learn More
A Brief Overview of Opentest Framework in Testing Automation
Opentest is a test automation framework designed to address the need of testing embedded software more efficiently by sharing resources across multiple users. The tedious process of bringing up hardware together with all new images is made extremely simple by just executing an automation test with help of Opentest framework automation. Enabling the use of single testcase for over 20+ different platforms makes the framework more efficient. Opentest provides a complete test automation solution by using Testlink. Opentest along with Jenkins provides a good DevOPs solution. Read More
Cloud Operations and Continuous Monitoring
Cloud computing is gaining ever more importance as enterprises depend more on private and public clouds. Enterprise organizations are aggressively moving to cloud services to gain flexibility without the worry of infrastructure management. Besides, they are able to better accommodate future changes that can happen as new technologies occur or there is a need to scale to support growth. Therefore CloudOps, need to define the right operational procedures and practices around what clouds can do, rather than the traditional approaches to operations for the cloud. Read More
