Sealevel’s R9 family of products are capable of running Windows CE 6.0 with the .NET Compact Framework 3.5. The .NET Compact Framework is a subset of the .NET Framework that has been optimized to run on embedded systems with limited resources such as the R9 family. Visual Studio provides a standard interface for debugging application code; however, there is no built-in method to aid in analyzing memory usage. This makes developing memory efficient applications a real challenge. Fortunately, Microsoft has released a set of tools that will aid in identifying and isolating problematic code and memory leaks: Power Toys for .NET Compact Framework.
Remember the popular Miller Lite commercials that promise a great tasting beer that won’t fill you up? That message resonated with consumers because it promised “everything you always wanted in a beer”. And, of course, the ads were great. COM Express designs offer a similar choice in computer systems: the technical advantages of a custom design without the high cost and long development cycle. Pretty big claim. So, how does this work? Read on.
What inspired you to become an engineer? Tom’s story began when he was a student at Virginia Tech. Tell us your story. Who or what inspired you to become an engineer? The top 10 stories will receive a free autographed copy of The Digital I/O Handbook courtesy of Tom O’Hanlan and Jon Titus.
Stop by Booth #1919 at West 2012 to see our new custom carrier boards for COM Express, which minimize the difficulty of custom computer board design by combining the processing, memory, video, Ethernet and USB functionality in a small, highly integrated module. We will also be showcasing our ACC-188 Synchronous Interface Adapter, which enables tactical radios to interface to PCs and quickly transmit IP-based data such as email, IM-type communications, files, GPS maps, images and coordinates.
If you’ve ever called Tech Support at Sealevel, there’s a chance that you’ve talked to Bryan. Take a few minutes to read this month’s Sealevel Spotlight, and find out how Bryan learned the dangers of parrots in Thailand.
What’s my favorite app? If you had asked me prior to October 14 of this year, I would have probably responded with one of the dozens of photography-related apps that I use on a regular basis. However, October 14 was the day I got my new iPhone 4S, and with it came iOS 5 and Siri. In the days that followed, Siri became my favorite app.
In this month’s issue of Military Embedded Systems, Earle Foster (VP of Sales and Marketing) discusses how COM Express enables application-specific data acquisition systems. Learn how you can get the advantages of a custom product and the convenience of COTS with Sealevel’s custom carrier boards.
Sealevel will provide advanced custom carrier boards designs for GE’s family of COM Express embedded processor modules. We will design and manufacture high performance custom carrier boards and industrial computers based on the GE Intelligent Platforms COM Express modules for GE Intelligent Platforms’ OEM customers.
Sealevel often fields a co-ed softball team to participate in a local league. This year was no exception as we were able to recruit quite a number of Sealevel employees for the team. The league is fairly competitive, and we are fortunate to have enough athletes on the Sealevel payroll to field a solid team most every year.
I really enjoy playing Frisbee. It is a sport that adapts well to age, ability, number of participants and desired activity level. It is social and can be either serenely calm or exhilaratingly fast-paced. Engineering involves a lot of up-close work, highly detailed and generally behind a desk or lab bench. It is great to get outdoors, go for long distance throws and catches, and spend time with coworkers outside the scope of project requirements. I have found my afternoons to be more productive and focused, albeit at the expense of a few sore muscles the next day, well worth it.
