Terrestrial-based hyperbolic navigation technologies predate today’s satellite-based global positioning system (GPS). Starting with developments in the 1930s and 1940s, land-based long-range navigation (LORAN) systems using hyperbolic navigation have been continuously advanced. Today, the enhanced LORAN (eLORAN) system has been offered a more secure alternative to GPS. Hyperbolic navigation technologies were independently developed in the U.S. […]
Microcontroller Tips
GPS is a ubiquitous and problematic technology
Much of the world depends upon satellite systems for precise navigation and timing services. The global positioning system (GPS) is a ubiquitous and problematic technology. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is the umbrella term for satellite navigation systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. GNSS includes GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, and other regional […]
Functional safety for embedded systems – Virtual Roundtable (part 2 of 2)
Hosted by Jeff Shepard, EE World has organized this “virtual roundtable” into “Functional Safety for Embedded Systems.” Panelists include Anders Holmberg (AH), General Manager Embedded Development Tools with IAR Systems, Mike Dow (MD), Senior Product Manager, IoT Security with Silicon Labs, Jim McElroy (JM), VP of sales and marketing at LDRA Technology, Dave Hughes (DH), […]
C++ compiler/debugger toolchain for RH850 MCUs generates position-independent code/date
IAR Systems adds new functionality to its development tools for Renesas’ RH850 automotive microcontrollers (MCUs). The latest version of the complete C/C++ compiler and debugger toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RH850 can now optionally generate position-independent code and/or position-independent data. The added functionality is very useful in systems where applications are loaded dynamically. When […]
