This years FTF, in San Antonio, Texas on 18-21 June, looks to be the best ever, with a very strong technical program. Mentor Embedded is making a great contribution with conference presentations by Dan Driscoll, Andrew Patterson, Jon McDonald, Chris Hallinan and Andrew Caples, along with panel participation by Mark Mitchell. You can find full details here<\/a>. If you want copies of any presentations, please email me.<\/p>\n If you are attending the show, do stop by our booth [pods 1410-1415] and say Hi to my colleagues [as, sadly, I am unable to attend] and enter a drawing to win an electric motorcycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nowadays, there is a perception that the higher end embedded CPU is dominated by ARM.

<\/a>A key theme for Mentor Embedded at the show is around low power, which will feature as part of a very exciting technology announcement associated with Nucleus RTOS<\/a>. Historically, power consumption was viewed as purely a hardware issue, but a demo of Nucleus on i.MX28 will illustrate the significance of software on minimizing device power.<\/p>\n
