SEGGER emPower OS
Enables On-Going
Production During
Chip Shortages
June 24th, 2021.
SEGGER introduces
its all-in-one
embedded operating
system emPower OS.
It uses proven
components from the
software toolbox
that already lays
the groundwork for
many customer
and for
SEGGER's successful
J-Link debugger.
emPower OS provides
an out-of- the-box
experience for
complex embedded
software
applications on
close to one
thousand hardware
platforms while
supporting many
more.
The
emPower OS software
package includes all
core components
(RTOS, GUI, File
System) and
communication
software (TCP/IP,
USB Device,
USB-Host, Modbus),
as well as IoT
Toolkit, Security
and Compression
modules serving all
the software needs
of modern embedded
industrial and IoT
devices.
The available
hardware support
enables abstraction
of the application
from the used
microcontroller
being used. This
means being able to
quickly switch the
hardware without
completely rewriting
the software.
Software development
is simplified to
merely switching a
few drivers,
adapting the
remaining direct
hardware accesses
and testing
functionality.
This provides a
solution to supply
shortages on the
hardware side. The
redesign process
could possibly be
finished before the
estimated arrival
time of silicon
vendor's delivery.
"Because of the chip
crisis, many
industrial companies
are rethinking their
software development
processes - how to
break dependencies
and gain
flexibility,"
explains SEGGER CEO
Ivo Geilenbruegge.
"emPower OS
offers the flexibility
to prevent production
downtime."
he root cause of
production
challenges today is
the chip shortage.
Still, this is not
the only challenge,
responsible managers
need to keep in
mind. Other
challenges are
suppliers changing
owners, suppliers
changing license
models, changing
pricing or even
cancelling a
product, political
decisions that
prevent deliveries
and many more. You
can obtain further
information on how
to deal with these
challenges in our
risk management
article at SEGGER's
blog.
emPower OS is a
high-performance
software platform
for embedded systems
and Internet of
Things (IoT)
devices. emPower OS
is optimized for
high performance and
a small memory
footprint. In many
cases, the small
memory footprint
enables the use of a
typical
microcontroller,
eliminating the need
for expensive
external memory,
keeping the cost of
the embedded
computing system to
a minimum.
SEGGR's embedded
operating
system emPower OS is
offered as source
code under a
perpetual license
model with a
one-time cost
without hidden
follow-up costs. The
customer always owns
the product license.
As part of the
Embedded Studio PRO
package, emPower OS
is offered in object
code.
XJTAG Introduces
Arm® SWD Support and
User-Defined
Libraries
June 17th, 2021.
Cambridge,
England, June 16,
2021 - XJTAG®,
a leader in JTAG
boundary scan test
solutions, announces
the introduction of
Serial Wire Debug
(SWD) support,
user-defined
libraries, a new
clock generator, and
other benefits in
its latest software
release, XJTAG 3.11.
Serial Wire Debug
Engineers using a
device with an ARM®
Cortex®
core can now benefit
from XJTAG’s support
for the SWD protocol
via any two pins of
the XJLink2. As well
as being used to
program a device’s
internal memory,
this interface also
allows an SWD-device
to be controlled
directly during a
board test-for
example, to provide
a way to test a
peripheral such as
an ADC; and to
program connected
memories.
Although XJTAG
always recommends
bringing out a
processor’s JTAG
signals for good
test coverage, if
this cannot be done
for some reason,
this release
provides a way to
test the device’s
connections by using
SWD to control its
GPIO pins.
Devices that
multiplex SWD on
their JTAG pins are
supported by an
additional function
that automates
switching between
the two modes. With
an increasing number
of ICs available
with an SWD
interface, XJTAG
believes engineers
will find this
support a valuable
addition.
User-Defined XJEase Libraries
The new XJTAG
release also
introduces an
application that
allows engineers to
create and manage
their own library of
XJEase device files
and circuit code
files. This library
can also be
distributed and
maintained across an
organisation to help
drive consistency
between teams,
reduce the risk of
duplicated effort,
and minimise the
time taken to
maintain projects.
When categorising
devices or adding
circuit code files
to a project, this
new library can be
added to
XJDeveloper’s list
of libraries to be
used.
Configurable Oscillator
Engineers looking
for a way to prevent
a watchdog timer
from resetting the
board during
testing, or who need
a simple clock
input, will benefit
from XJLink2’s new
oscillator output.
It comes with XJTAG
3.11 and can bring
convenience and cost
savings, in many
instances removing
the need for a
separate signal
generator. This
flexible and
easy-to-use
oscillator is
adjustable in 10 kHz
steps from 10 kHz to
166 MHz and has a
high-impedance
output state when
switched off. It is
easy to control
during a test using
XJEase and runs
without continuous
software
interaction, making
it ideal when
testing a board that
requires a constant
input. It is
available on all
XJLink2-based
hardware, including
USB, PXI and Quad
versions.
Excel Support, Log File Viewer and Other Improvements
To make creating
projects easier,
XJTAG has responded
to several
engineering requests
by adding support
for importing BOM
files in Excel
format (.xls and
.xlsx), including
multi-tab files.
It is also now
easier to deal with
multiple log files.
Engineers no longer
need to open every
file to find the
ones they want
because the Log File
Viewer in XJTAG 3.11
enables users to
filter and search a
collection of log
files based on their
content. This allows
users to filter log
files to identify
those where a
specific test
failed, or those
generated at a
particular time or
from a specific
XJPack or project
version. This speeds
up the process of
identifying trends
and debugging
problems. Other
additions to the Log
File Viewer include
the ability to
preview a list of
tests and results
before opening the
file, easier
navigation through
the file because the
relevant section is
highlighted when a
test is selected in
the navigation pane,
and the addition of
a “most recently
used” list of
folders.
When debugging
problems with
dynamic JTAG chains,
it’s now easier to
switch profiles on
XJDeveloper’s
Analyser, Debug
Connection Test, and
Pin Mapping screens:
instead of needing
to change the
project’s default
setting, you can now
switch freely
between profiles.
All the benefits
that come with the
3.11 release
demonstrate XJTAG’s
continued commitment
to maintaining its
leadership in the
field of boundary scan test systems.
This latest software
is now available for
download from
www.xjtag.com
for existing clients
with a valid
maintenance
contract. XJTAG can
be contacted on +44
(0)1223 223007, via
email at

Aukua Systems
Introduces New
XGA4250 High Speed
3-in-1 Ethernet & IP
Test Platform
May 24th, 2021.
Precision Ethernet &
IP test solutions
provider introduces
new hardware
platform supporting
25G Ethernet
Aukua Systems, Inc.,
a leading provider
of precision
Ethernet & IP Test
and Monitoring
solutions, today
announced the
release of the new
XGA4250 hardware
platform. This new
platform complements
Aukua's popular
MGA2510 by extending
its unique 3-in-1
testing solution to
support higher
speeds of 25G and
beyond.
The rapid
proliferation of
advanced cloud-based
applications in
enterprise data
center networks is
driving the need for
faster connectivity
speeds than 10G
which has been the
dominant rate for
the last few years.
Since 802.3 by was
ratified and
approved by IEEE as
a standard in 2016,
more organizations
are adopting 25G
Ethernet instead of
40G as their
preferred server to
top-of-rack
interconnect speed
as it is a newer
technology with a
smaller footprint
and provides a clear
upgrade path to 50G,
200G and beyond. In
addition to data
centers, 25G
Ethernet is also
emerging as the
preferred connection
technology for
fronthaul and
midhaul applications
being deployed in
mobile 5G networks
replacing legacy
technologies like
CPRI.
"As our customers
have increased the
speed of their
networks and
, they are
demanding that we
augment their test
capabilities with a
higher speed version
of the much loved
MGA2510," said Suds
Rajagopal, Aukua's
Co-Founder and Vice
President.
Like the MGA2510,
the new XGA4250 is
uniquely capable of
being used as a
Traffic Generator &
Analyzer, Inline
Packet Capture, or a
Network Impairment
Emulator system.
"This flexibility is
critical in enabling
our customers to
develop and deploy
new, groundbreaking
technologies like
Open RAN used in 5G
Wireless, Automotive
Ethernet and other
new high-speed
interconnects,"
Rajagopal added.
Beta versions of the
XGA4250 started
shipping to select
customers earlier
this quarter and the
product is generally
available starting
this week.

New version V5 of
SEGGER Embedded
Studio IDE now
available!
May 19th, 2021.
Embedded Studio for ARM enables efficient development for all
ARM-based devices. With support ranging from small Cortex-M
microprocessors used in IoT nodes to powerful Cortex-A cores in
complex systems, Embedded Studio provides you with everything
required to develop your .
Why buy two separate computer boards when you can get everything you
need in one? A 2-in-1 SBC combines the standard CPU + system I/O of
a traditional single-board computer with a full-fledged data
acquisition subsystem to provide double density in the space of a
single board. This helps to reduce the size and weight of your
embedded system and usually provides cost savings as well.
Benefits of
2-in-1 SBCs
Size and weight
reduction - the
single board is thinner
than 2 individual
boards, and the
elimination of the extra
PCB and bus connectors
significantly reduces
the weight. This is
extremely valuable for
mobile, robotics, and
other applications.
Increased reliability
- Elimination of
extraneous connectors
and bus interface
components improves MTBF
of the overall system.
Increased ruggedness
- reduction in size,
weight, and
interconnects drives up
resistance to shock and
vibration.
Simplified purchasing
and logistics - Your
purchasing department
only has to buy one
product from one vendor,
your stockroom saves
space, and your assembly
effort is reduced.
Simplified support
- compatibility
between the two
functions (SBC + I/O) is
guaranteed, and a single
vendor provides all the
support, simplifying and
improving design-in and
support efforts..
The global market has been generally recovering from the COVID-19
pandemic that severely hit the world economy last year. The
persistent stay-at-home economy results in strong demands for
electronic devices, and semiconductor industry is deeply affected by
the trend; since the very beginning of 2021, consumer electronics
and electric vehicle manufacturers have faced a worldwide shortage
of IC chips.
According to SEMI, “February billings of North America-based
semiconductor equipment manufacturers once again exceeded $3
billion, powered by robust secular semiconductor demand across
diverse end-use markets.” The digitization of industries worldwide
continues to drive rising investments in semiconductor equipment,
and also stimulate the development of all kinds of IC chips.
Meanwhile, DediProg Technology launches a new all-in-one engineering
IC programmer
NuProg-E2, it supports most IC types on the market, providing a
more completed and efficient solution for application engineers.
NuProg-E2 combined programming function of Nuprog-E and
StarProg-U, and is compatible with ICs of different capacity: range
from low capacity MCU and CPLD to high capacity Flash, eMMC and UFS,
etc. Designed FPGA kernel architecture and built-in SuperSpeed® USB
3.0, NuProg-E2 has achieved a high-speed & reliable programming
performance; it’s an ideal choice for application analysis and
product development.

Freely
programmable
6-channel router for
CAN and CAN FD
April 26th, 2021.
With six channels, the PCAN-Router Pro FD links the data traffic of
modern CAN FD and classic CAN buses. Pluggable CAN transceiver
modules allow flexible adaptation of each CAN channel to the
respective requirements. In addition, the router is equipped with an
analog input and four digital I/Os. The CAN messages can be recorded
on the internal memory or on an inserted memory card and later read
out via the USB connection. With the PCAN-Router Pro FD the data
flow of test benches and production plants can be managed,
monitored, and controlled. The conversion from CAN to CAN FD or vice
versa enables the integration of new CAN FD applications into
existing CAN 2.0 networks.
The behavior of the PCAN-Router Pro FD can be programmed freely for
specific applications. The firmware is created using the included
development package with GNU compiler for C and C++ and is then
transferred to the module via CAN. Various programming examples,
such as message forwarding or recording, facilitate the
implementation of own solutions.

SEGGER Embedded
Studio Available for
the Renesas RE
Family of MCUs
March 30th, 2021.
Embedded Studio
is SEGGER’s
cross-platform
integrated
development
environment (IDE)
for embedded systems
development. The
editor is quick to
start up and the
build process is
blazingly fast,
saving precious
working hours.
Embedded Studio
contains SEGGER's
own
runtime and
floating point
libraries,
compilers and
linkers. All of
these components
were developed from
the ground up
specifically for
resource-constrained
embedded systems,
are extensively used
internally at
SEGGER, and are
continuously updated
and developed.
SEGGER's primary
development goal is
to create fast
programs that can
easily be tailored
to the target system
and require as
little memory as
possible.
Optimizations are
made at various
stages of the build
process to reduce
code size and
improve execution
speed. The
linker can make
optimal use of the
typically small
memory of
microcontrollers.
Code blocks can be
distributed over
several memory areas
and unusable memory
locations can be
omitted.
Embedded Studio
supports all the
features that
characterize
J-Link and
J-Trace, such as
unlimited
breakpoints in flash
memory or
RTT (Real Time
Transfer).
There are no
restrictions in
terms of code size,
features or duration
of use.
The power efficiency
of the Renesas RE
Family of MCUs
(including the
RE01-256K), combined
with the low
resource usage of
SEGGER software,
minimizes, or
sometimes even
removes, the need to
recharge or replace
batteries. This
combined efficiency
could have far
reaching effects;
for home and
building automation,
smart farming,
factories, a wide
range of medical
devices, wearable
applications and
more.
Lauterbach GmbH
launches new
PowerTrace III and
Mixed-Signal Probe
to enhance customer
debug experience
March 26th, 2020.
Lauterbach GmbH
announces the launch
of its new high-end
trace tool, the PowerTrace III,
accompanied by the
new Mixed-Signal
Probe, a
high-performance
hybrid tool to probe
digital and analog
signals. With this
new tool set,
Lauterbach again
pushes the
boundaries of the
debug experience on
microcontroller
systems.
So far, the
PowerTrace III is
the best trace tool
in Lauterbach’s
portfolio. The
long-lasting tool
follows the product
philosophy in terms
of modularity and
backward
compatibility. It is
architecture
independent,
expandable and
future-proof.
Combined with one of
the serial or
parallel
preprocessors, the
PowerTrace III is
designed to capture
a CPU’s program-flow
using off-chip trace
interfaces like ETM,
NEXUS and AGBT. The
trace buffer of 8
GByte and the
streaming speed of
up to 400 MByte/s
allows the
collection of a
large amount of data
over a long period
of time. The
likelihood of memory
overflow and thus
the loss of data is
considerably
reduced.
The Mixed-Signal
Probe is a hybrid
probe capable of
measuring up to 12
digital and 8 analog
channels in
parallel. Beside
signal analysis, it
provides the
correlation of
digital and analog
signals with the
program flow,
supports energy
profiling and
includes protocol
analysis functions.
The Mixed-Signal
Probe is included in
the PowerTrace III
set, but it can be
ordered separately
to be used in
combination with
other Lauterbach
trace tools: the
CombiProbe 2 and the
µTrace.
Says Norbert Weiss,
Managing Director of
Lauterbach GmbH,
“The company has
always been
committed to making
modular tools that
allow developers to
re-use as much as
possible when
switching to new
projects. The
PowerTrace III does
that and provides a
significant
improvement in the
amount of trace data
that our customers
can capture to
analyze and measure
their embedded
designs. Every few
years, the embedded
designs undergo a
step change in their
power and
capabilities and the
tools need to be
able to grow
alongside this. I
firmly believe that,
once again, we have
the right tools to
ensure the success
of our customers.”
Both will
be available from
the first of April
2021 on

to SIL3 (IEC61508) and ASIL-D
(ISO 26262).
The certificate includes an
assessment report containing the
assessment results of the
certification authority,
TÜV-Nord Systems GmbH & Co. KG.
We are really impressed with the
thorough understanding of the
design principles of PXROS-HR
that is shown by the report.
The SIL3/ASIL-D achievement
makes our real-time operating
system (RTOS) the optimal and
safety approved solution for
non-AUTOSAR based automotive and
industrial applications,
including agriculture and
forestry machines/equipment.
The report summarizes them as
follows:
"The main principles of HR PXROS
are safety, reliability,
portability and expandability.
To achieve these goals, PXROS-HR
relies on the following
principles:
No Periphery of the
kernel function: For
instance, the
time-handling of the
system is done in
response to a
predetermined
tick-signal of the
application.
General concept of
resource allocation:
resources are divided
into objects and
dedicated for certain
purposes only.
Preallocation can ensure
that for a certain
purpose, the required
resources are available
(e.g. memory for sending
a message).
Separation of the
interrupt system of the
microkernel: the
interrupt system is not
influenced by the
kernel; in particular,
there are no interrupt
locks. The interrupt
system is dedicated to
the application layer.
No lack of resources due
to excessive interrupt
load:
System calls, which result from interrupt, do not
require any resources.
If necessary the
resources will be
rearranged.
Freedom of interference
between tasks: The address
ranges of tasks can be
separated completely. The
communication is performed
through messages only.
Concept of the termination
of functions: This ensures
the correct exception
handling."
Further
the report characterizes our
operating system as a
"Safety Element out of
Context" (SEooC, this
terminology is taken from
ISO 26262). This means that
PXROS-HR as a basis of your
safety critical application
has not to be assessed
completely from scratch but
it suffices to show that it
can safely be integrated
into your application
context.
The benefit that you draw
from the use of PXROS-HR is
threefold:
First, you can be
sure, that your
safety critical
real-time
application is build
on a sound basis.
Second, you can save
time and money
because PXROS-HR as
a basis of your
safety critical
application need not
to be assessed
completely from
scratch but it
suffices to show
that it can safely
be integrated into
your application
context.
Third you can safe
time and money:
because of the
principle "Freedom
of interference" you
are entitled to run
those parts of your
application that are
not relevant to
safety on the same
ECU as the safety
critical without the
extra effort of
validating the non
critical parts.
Automated Software Porting To New Operating System
OS Changer® is a C/C++
source-level virtualization
technology that allows you
to easily re-use your
software on another
OS, while providing
real-time performance. It
eliminates the manual
porting effort, saves money
and shortens the time to
market.
Cross-platform freedom:
SEGGER's J-Flash now
available for macOS & Linux
April 23rd, 2020.
SEGGER J-Link now available on
every popular operating system:
Windows, macOS and Linux.
While the J-Link
software and
included command line
tools have been
cross-platform for
years, the applications
with Graphical User
Interfaces (GUIs) have
only been available on
Windows. These have now
been rewritten, one at a
time to make the entire
package cross-platform.
With this release the
popular J-Flash application,
which provides an easy
to use interface for
production flash
programming and
automation, is finally
available not only for
Windows, but also for
Linux and macOS.
Cross-OS Development
PlatformT is a C/C++
source-level virtualization
technology that provides a
robust and industry standard
OS interface architecture
for flexible real-time
application development,
while allowing the user to
protect the software from
being locked to one OS. This
negates future porting
issues because the software
will support multiple
operating systems and
versions from the beginning.
It also eliminates the risk
associated with the OS
selection process, since the
same application can be
tested on multiple platforms
for comparison and won't be
tied to the chosen OS.
Debug from home:
SEGGER's J-Link Remote
Server adds encryption
April 23rd, 2020.
SEGGER's J-Link Remote Server is
a proven way to debug remotely.
It has been used for years to
debug target systems, thousands
of miles away, even behind
firewalls. Of its many uses in
the past, a particularly
important one was for system
bring-up when hardware
availability was limited,
expensive, or otherwise
difficult. Today an even more
important application has moved
into focus.
Working from home has become a
necessity for many of us. Given
the ongoing changes in the
working environment, it is very
likely that some amount of
work-from-home time will become
not just more common but will be
"the new normal".
It is not only impractical for
developers to carry hardware
home, with J-Link
Remote Server it is also
unnecessary. Developers can
simply connect from home and use
any tool that supports J-Link.
The J-Link operates exactly the
same as if it were sitting right
on the developer's desk. J-Link
Remote Server was first
convenient, then very useful,
and is now on its way to
becoming indispensable.
Paired with authenticated access
to the J-Link Remote Server, and
the encrypted communication
tunnel between software and
probe, remote access is another
rock-solid debug option for the
J-Link based on the proven
algorithms of emCrypt.
The authentication uses
challenge-response methods to
ensure the password is never
visible on the wire. The
end-to-end encryption of the
debug stream ensures that the
application can be securely
transferred via wire.
The J-Link Remote Server can be
used at no cost with any J-Link
model, including base models
with only USB interface. The
software is included in the "J-Link
Software and Documentation
Package" that comes with
every model J-Link or J-Trace.

XJTAG®, a leader in JTAG
boundary scan test solutions,
announces the release of two new
features that further enhance
the ease-of-use of boundary scan
tools. XJTAG 3.10 introduces an
automated method for dealing
with the situation when design
updates occur on the board being
tested, and a simple way to
override the default settings of
global variables used by XJEase
Device Files.
The Board Revisions feature uses
an intelligent device-matching
algorithm to analyse the new
netlist and identify devices
that have had reference
designators changed. It copies
their categorisation information
to the new project and
automatically updates all
references to them. If devices
have been removed from the
circuit, these are highlighted
to the user. The matches and
suggestions are presented in a
user-friendly format that shows
the reasons for the suggestions
while guiding the user through
the updating process. The
schematic viewer, layout viewer,
and netlist explorer are all
utilised to provide the most
user-friendly way to present the
information the user needs when
validating these proposed
updates.
A second enhancement to XJTAG
3.10 provides a simple-to-use
dialog box that allows users to
override the default values of
the global variables used in
XJEase device files. This allows
global variables to be set
easily and quickly for one
specific device using a method
that doesn’t require coding and
therefore avoids the risks
associated with editing device
files directly. Each device can
have its own set of global
variables instead of them
needing to be common to all ICs
that use the same device file.
As an example, users of XJTAG
3.10 can set up testing so that
debug data for just one specific
IC is outputted, even when the
board being tested uses more
than one of that particular
component.

ARM UlinkPro for
Detecting sporadic errors using
ETM trace
ESS ARM Tools Team, is pleased
to share this application note
that explains how ULINKpro is
used to identify sporadic errors
that where caused by
misconfigured hardware. It shows
how the advanced debug features
of the Arm Cortex-M architecture
and the trace adapter helped to
find the root cause of the
problem that was not related to
the application software (in
this case a network stack) but
caused by a wrong timing
configuration of a Flash
accelerator.
While developing a network
application on an NXP LPC43xx
(Arm Cortex-M4 based), the
system crashes sporadically. The
application runs at 180 MHz from
internal flash and works as
expected for a while, but then
ends up in a HardFault.
Typically, the error occurs
after a few minutes, but the
time varies and sometimes it
does not occur for quite a
while.
This application note shows how
we found a dependency on network
activity and router behavior,
which triggered a certain part
of the code to execute.

With deeply embedded
software playing a more
significant role in our
everyday lives it becomes
more important that this
software is developed well
and is able to function as
intended even in unforeseen
circumstances. To this end
numerous software safety
standards have been
developed for industries
which where software failure
will cause injury or loss of
life: automotive, medical,
avionics, etc. In many
jurisdictions, compliance to
these standards is mandated.
Lauterbach is
proud to announce full JTAG
debug support for VxWorks
653 Multi-core Edition, an
ARINC 653-conformant
platform from Wind River,
including the latest
release, VxWorks 653
Multi-core Edition 4.0,

PEAK-SYSTEM is expanding
their CAN FD product line
and releasing the brand new
PCAN-M.2 Four Channel card
for M.2 interfaces. Thanks
to the mounted expansion
board on the main board,
four CAN FD channels are
available for computers.
Each CAN FD channel can
transmit a maximum of 64
data bytes of a CAN FD frame
at bit rates of 20 kbit/s up
to 12 Mbit/s. Each channel
is also galvanically
isolated up to 300 volts and
can be terminated.
The card can be used
on any motherboard size from
Mini-ITX to E-ATX. Thus, the
plug-in card is suitable for
desktop and industrial PC
cases of various sizes.
Especially for embedded
systems, such as those found
in motor vehicles, railways,
and aircraft, the CAN FD
interface is ideal due to
its size and compactness.
Device drivers
are available for the
operating systems Windows
(10, 8.1 and 7) and Linux.
SANBlaze
Technology, Inc. announced
that it successfully
demonstrated NVMe target
emulation over RoCE and
Fibre Channel at the
University of New
Hampshire's first ever plug
fest for NVMe-oFT (NVMe over
Fabrics).
The NVMe-oF Plug
Fest was held during, June
18-22 2018, at the UNH-IOL
facility in Durham, NH USA.
Attendees were able to see
real-world testing of NVMe
over RoCE and NVMe over
Fibre Channel on both
initiators and targets using
SANBlaze's testing platform.
"SANBlaze tools give
users the ability to test
NVMe over the full range of
transport options, from NVMe
over Fibre Channel, to NVMe
over Ethernet with RDMA
based on both RoCE and
iWARP," said Vince Asbridge,
President of SANBlaze
Technology. "The
SANBlaze emulation system
for NVMe will validate the
capability of a SAN or
network infrastructure to
carry NVMe traffic alongside
FCP and Ethernet traffic,
and verify the compatibility
of NVMe with your existing
equipment."
The SANBlaze NVMe
platform not only helps
customers test NVMe in their
current environment, but
also helps in the selection
of which protocol or
transport to choose.

Tesla's Event Data Recorder (EDR)
Retrieval Program to generate a
PDF report outlining the
findings from their electric
cars' data recorder.
Tesla is now allowing owners of
its vehicles to access their
cars' Event Data Recorder (EDR),
commonly known as the 'black
box' of autos, through a set of
licensed tools and software.
As noted by Tesla on its
official help page for its EDR user
guide
, all of the company's vehicles
save for the original Roadster
are equipped with an Event Data
Recorder. The recording devices
are only activated once the
vehicle senses a non-trivial
physical occurrence in the
vehicle. Thus, during normal
driving conditions, the EDR is
deactivated.
In the event that data logs from
the EDR need to be accessed,
however, Tesla's new set of
proprietary tools and software
can retrieve data from the
vehicle's black box. The
following hardware is required
to gain access to the data to
the Model S, X, and 3's EDR.

Linux are not supported)
