Editorial that mattersº reaches critical decision makers

º will continue to break new ground as technologies emerge

º plays the leadership role in the industry

º t he first place engineers turn for in-depth coverage of the latest developments in embedded technology

Fall 2009

Dear Colleagues,

Well, you have survived.

The RTC Group feels like we, too, have survived the worst economy in the last 100

years. As the smoke clears and we survey the economic landscape, we can’t help but

feel a mixture of joy and sadness as we recognize that many of our friends and foes

have had to move on.

I spoke to Tom Williams, our editor-in-chief, and couldn’t get over how his views

of the industry are much like those of a war correspondent. As other publications

have failed, one after another, Tom is proud that RTC magazine is still servicing the

industry with quality editorial.

I spoke to Marina Tringali, our managing editor, who reminded me of “Rosie the

Riveter.” She takes pride in each publication, working tirelessly to have the best

design, delivering it to the most qualified circulation and making sure that each

advertiser gets the best value.

It is my hope as we approach our fifteenth year of publishing RTC magazine, that

we have delivered on our promise of bringing value to your marketing dollars.

May 2010 be a prosperous year for you and your company.

John Reardon Publisher, RTC magazine

EDITORIALTECHNOLOGY IN CONTEXTThis sect ion fol lows developments in the technology underly ing the development of embedded systems. I t includes the latest advances in processors, form factors, programmable logic devices and standards. I t a lso covers approaches l ike fault tolerance, system management techniques, hot-swap and thermal management, high avai labi l i ty and safety-cr it ical concerns. Technology in Context focuses on the foundations upon which embedded systems are bui l t .

TECHNOLOGY CONNECTEDToday, the vast majority of embedded devices are connected via some sort of serial l ink or network to other embedded devices, supervisory systems and ultimately to the Internet. The newer, faster serial interconnect technologies l ike PCI Express, USB and RapidIO, to name a few, as well as variations on industrial Ethernet, also interface with legacy technologies such as CAN and ProfiBus, serial interconnects and a host of wireless technologies. These include 802.11, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a variety of wireless sensor network technologies. The l ist goes on. Of course, these myriad technologies and protocols eventually f low into Ethernet and Internet, and it is the focus of the Technology Connected section to keep our readers informed on the latest developments in connectivity in the embedded world.

TECHNOLOGY IN SYSTEMSPutt ing together the three major components of any computer-based system—the CPU, the software and the I/O—is often a chal lenging task, especial ly since the I/O and the software must be specif ical ly tai lored to the needs of the appl icat ion in combination with the appropriate processor. In addit ion, there are often other components such as a storage subsystem and display. This activ ity requires the ful l ski l l of the developer—in evaluating and selecting the components, integrating them electr ical ly and mechanical ly and in developing and optimizing the appl icat ion code. This section wi l l look at the issues, the techniques and the tools for system development and integration.

TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYEDEmbedded systems operate in an endless variety of applications that make differing demands on their capabilities and how they are designed and configured. Despite that, many of the components, tools and design techniques are similar. This section will cover representative broad application areas and look at the unique problems they pose and the solutions they offer. Such things as data acquisition are integral to a wide range of specific applications as are motor control, machine-to-machine systems, medical devices and many more. Looking at some of the broader issues presented here, readers will be able to get ideas that they can apply to their specific needs in building that dedicated embedded solution.

RTC is stepping into 2010 in what is actually an exciting time. While it is true that at the time of writing this, the economic situation is less than fabulous, there are indications of improvement, and there are certainly technological developments waiting in the wings and ready to take advantage of better economic times, as well as to contribute to them.

Over the past year and a half, there has been a dramatic drop in the size and power consumption of advanced 32-bit processors, and that trend is expected to continue in the near term. This has enabled the creation of extremely small form factor modules that are now capable of bringing powerful embedded computing power, along with high-speed network connectivity, into application areas that were previously inaccessible. This is leading to a pervasive universe of small, connected intelligent devices that will have an enormous impact on our economy and on our society.

And it is the readers of RTC, the engineers, the product developers, project managers, programmers, testers and executives who will mold these basic technologies into the devices and applications that will shape our world. The technology is poised not only to make that world more connected, but also much more efficient. The ability to apply embedded intelligence in manufacturing, medicine, transportation, building management and expanding the Smart Grid, opens markets for innovative applications and also makes it possible to use ever scarcer energy resources more efficiently, saving money as well as reducing emissions.

RTC stands ready with its experienced editorial staff to bring you the latest developments along with the sharp, in-depth analysis to help select and apply the technologies that will create the products that will improve our lives and our environment.
