The NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors provides a comprehensive graphical development approach for embedded design. This new module, jointly developed by ADI and NI, seamlessly integrates NI LabVIEW and ADI VisualDSP++ to provide out-of-the-box embedded programming.

The new QNX Neutrino(R) Multi-Core Technology Development Kit (TDK) offers the full range of multiprocessing options for code migration to a broad range of multi-core processors from Intel, Freescale, Broadcom, and other vendors. With LabVIEW graphical programming, you can quickly and easily create multi-threaded, multi-rate applications that can best take advantage of multi-core systems. This combination provides the industry's first rapid development environment for multiprocessor systems.

eCos is a mature and robust Deployment Targets (RTOS) system for embedded systems in a diverse range of market segments including industrial automation, consumer products, telematics, aerospace, multimedia and telecommunications. eCosCentric couples high quality commercial products and engineering services with the open source virtues and engineering excellence of eCos - providing an RTOS solution that is dependable, technically advanced, and truely open.

INtime software combines deterministic, hard real-time control with standard Windows operating systems (including Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003) without requiring additional hardware. INtime was designed specifically to take advantage of the powerful capabilities of the x86 processor architecture. Therefore, your real-time and non-real-time applications run in separate virtual machines on a single computer, for cost-effective, reliable control that is easy to develop and maintain.

NI LabVIEW makes testing embedded device code and functionality easier by linking to leading design tools such as Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio, Analog Devices VisualDSP++, iSystem winIDEA, and Windriver emulators and debuggers.

The NI LabVIEW Execution Trace Toolkit gives real-time developers an interactive tool for analyzing and verifying NI LabVIEW Real-Time code execution. With minimal modifications to your embedded code, these tools graphically show multithreaded code execution while highlighting thread swaps, mutexes, and memory allocation.

With the integration of OCD API and LabVIEW, developers will be able to easily write software diagnostic and test programs within LabVIEW for Wind River ICE and Wind River Probe, two industry-leading JTAG tools that provide solutions ranging from low-level hardware diagnostics and flash programming to complex debugging with multicore run-control and trace.

The NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors provides a comprehensive graphical development approach for embedded design. This new module, jointly developed by ADI and NI, seamlessly integrates NI LabVIEW and ADI VisualDSP++ to provide out-of-the-box embedded programming.

Zbrain is a highly integrated, off-the-shelf core module family based on the Analog Devices ADSP -BF5xx Blackfin Processor Family. You can integrate custom boards via systembus (standard connectors plug). scalable functions, high computing power and energy management in half credit card format. Compatible with "LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin", it offers productive development of embedded software at a high level of abstraction. Users control DSP-Power in familiar, powerful programming environments and address sensors and actuators via intuitive, virtual instruments (VI).

The Boston Engineering FlexStack is a tiny, rugged platform that takes advantage of the flexibility of LabVIEW Embedded with the power of the Analog Devices Blackfin DSP. These stackable modules allow you to choose the capabilities and to simply program them with LabVIEW Embedded.

Bluetechnix offers a set of tiny Core Modules allow developers and system integrators to quickly design their products. Intended for small to medium volume products, Bluetechnix Tinyboards save development costs and risks significantly and enable incredible performance on a tiny space.

The NI LabVIEW FPGA Module directly targets Xilinx Virtex series FPGAs on NI Reconfigurable I/O hardware. You can create custom I/O and control hardware without prior knowledge of traditional HDL languages such as VHDL. You can use LabVIEW graphical development to directly synthesize FPGA hardware on NI RIO hardware. Measurement and control experts can now access FPGA technology for customizing hardware with the same intuitive graphical programming used in other test and control systems.

The PIP series is a compact, robust, low power, fanless, ready to use Industrial PC with a long term availability guarantee that fits on a DIN Rail or a Wall and is ready for connection and operation. The PIP is a LabVIEW Real-Time compatible single board computer, so you also have access to NI I/O offerings such as NI-RIO in the PCI form factor with a PC-104 to PCI bridge.

BF537-Base is a compact, cost effective Blackfin board for general system control applications. Features Overview: - 600MHz Microprocessor - 2 Analog Inputs, 0-5V, 250kSPS - 2 Analog Outputs, 0-5V, 250kSPS - 16 Digital I/Os - Serial ports for expandability
