SPOTLIGHT

Lastet Issue of Intel's Embedded Innovator

Amongst the highlights of the latest issue of Intel's Embedded Innovator are technical articles about rugged design, touch-screen automation and flexible fan-less modules.

Test automation framework - make or buy?

The main purpose of a test automation framework is to increase product development and product process efficiency. This paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of making or buying a test automation framework.

Combining Boundary Scan and JTAG Emulation for advanced structural test and diagnostics

Boundary Scan and JTAG Emulation are two perfectly complementary methods, which are fused into one flexible and powerful technique for advanced structural tests by GOEPEL electronic’s VarioTAP technology.

Packaging of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf systems

Rugged COTS systems must be packaged to perform in conditions which may include challenges such as thermal extremes, vibration, shock, electromagnetic (EMI), nuclear/EMP and human source hazards including intrusion and compromise.

AdvancedTCA makes the most of multicore processors

Multicore processors fit nicely into the ATCA infrastructure. The redundant, high-speed ATCA backplane supports both communication and compute-intensive applications.

EKF was founded in 1972. In the late 70's, the company was developing standardized microcomputer components and accessory software as a replacement for conventional process control technology. As an independent systems manufacturer, EKF concentrated, from the very beginning, on complete solutions for industrial problems by using the latest in technology, with a focus on high reliability and long-term availability of all products.

In the beginning of the 80's the company expanded, thanks mainly to its innovative products based on EUROBUS, at this time the leading bus standard for Motorola CPUs. Since 1985 EKF supplies products for the VMEbus, likely the most accepted standard of the 90's for industrial modular computer systems.

In 1998, EKF started development and manufacture of CompactPCI boards and systems as an economical alternative, based on Intel low power (mobile) processors. Since then, CPCI modules turned out to be todays best choice for new modular designs. In addition, EKF is currently developing solutions for new standards such as CompactPCI Express and AMC (µTCA) CPU cards, and COM Express™ modules (COM = Computer on Module), incorporating the PCI Express and other high speed technolgy.

Further more, custom specific boards and systems are a growing part of EKF's extended product portfolio, including ruggedized solutions for the industrial temperature range and harsh environment. One example of such a turnkey solution is iAFIS, an efficiency information system introduced widely in the container glass industry all over the world, and hourly proving its quality under the most rugged of environments.

EKF maintains a certified quality management system according to ISO 9000 with respect to both, development and manufacturing (ISO 9001 & ISO 9002).
