- Robotic Turtle by Colgate University
The following is successful robotic turtle prototype, powered with one-stroke bladeless tesla turbine, .5 HP operating at 3 RPM. The engine drives electric pump, which turns the leg actuaters. Electroactive polymers are used as artificial muslces with actuators. The legs are driven by one actuator, which consists of servovalve, and force sensor. Onboard computing power is PC/104, therefore, programmed with XCF. My uncle, mechanical engineer, took part in this fantastic project.
- DesignCon 2010 Video Contest: Another Day In The Life Of an Agilent EEsof EDA Chiphead
Every engineer wants an EDA tool that's easy to use. But can things go too far? Were the Luddites right in thinking technological progress is a zero sum game? Who's software is easiest to use? Does Godel's incompleteness theorem prohibit a do-my-job button, at least in principle? The definitive answers to these and other epistemological questions are certainly not contained in this (hopefully) hilarious sequel to Colin Warwick's DesignCon 2009 video contest entry.
- Programming 8051 based Microcontroller P89V664 developmnt board ZKit-51 in Windows Platform
The video shows how to program microcontroller development kit an 8051 based P89V644 controller from Zilogic Systems ZKit-51 under Windows and open source tools like SDCC compiler, Flash Magic tool.
- MVL6 Embedded Linux Demo: MVIP Flexibility and Customization

- Carrier Grade Linux - A Few Minutes with Dan Cauchy
Dan Cauchy is the Chairman of the Linux Foundation Carrier Grade Linux workgroup. He is also Vice President of Marketing at MontaVista Software. In this short video, he discusses the charter of the CGL workgroup, how the carrier grade market is changing, and the new release of MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition.
- PIC18 Microcontroller Analog to Digital Converter with Microchip C18 Compiler
The Microchip PIC18 Microcontroller family is the Microchip highest performance 8-bit class microcontroller. Powered by advanced RISC CPU, this PIC18 microcontroller family could deliver up to 16 MIPS computing power compared to the other Microchip 8-bit microcontroller family such as PIC10, PIC12 and PIC16 which only could deliver up to 5 MIPS.

- Challenges At 32nm And Beyond
Wally Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics, talks about what’s changing in design, the effect of low power, and who’s going to be doing the most advanced designs.
- Tesla: The Ultimate Low-Power Design
When your battery pack alone costs $30,000 and you get 200 miles per charge, you’ve got to be looking for ways to save power. The Tesla roadster is crammed with parts from many Silicon Valley companies, all designed to draw as little power as possible. But there’s still much more work to be done.
- Artificial Intelligence: This Time It’s For Real
AI used to be the stuff of science fiction, but cheap processing power and storage has made it a reality. To find out what’s being developed, System-Level Design (www.chipdesignmag.com/sld) tracked down Rachel Goshorn, assistant professor of System Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science in the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. Check out what she has to say.
- New Memory Technology Ahead
Christophe Chevallier, vice president of engineering at Unity Semiconductor, sat down with System-Level Design Contributing Editor Pallab Chatterjee to talk about multilayer technology that could boost chips to more than a terabyte using standard CMOS processes.
- Saving Power By The Milliwatt
Power budgets may look small, but the amount of power that can be saved with different design approaches will surprise you.
- What Goes Wrong
The best way to figure out where the problems are with products is to check with customer service. They hear everything. So System-Level Design sat down with Tom Flodeen, VP of customer service at Mentor Graphics to see where customers are asking questions. Yeah, we know there’s a little marketing in this, but it’s worth wading through to listen to what’s going on behind the scenes.
- COTS Issues
What can go wrong when you use commercial off-the-shelf parts in military applications? We asked Daren McClearnon, an ESL specialst at Agilent.
- Increasing Value For EDA
More designs by fewer companies puts renewed value in the EDA world, according to Ray Bingham, managing director of General Atlantic, a private equity firm. Bingham, the former CEO of Cadence Design Systems, talks about what is changing in technology and globalization.
- Must-Have Tools For Engineers
It may be one of the best equipped system-development labs on Earth, but it’s largely used to create designs that aren’t used on this planet.
- What Works…And What Doesn’t
Lisa Su, chief technology officer at Freescale, talks about the future of system-level design, what’s working and where the problems are
- MEMS: Making Micro Machines - Trailer
NSF funded movie about MEMS manufacturing. MEMS includes Texas Instruments' packaging of DLP technology; Hewlett Packard's fabrication of the thermal inkjet print heads; and Freescale's design of sensors. Silicon Run Productions worked with their advisory committee and MEMS Industry Group (MIG) to include a variety of MEMS devices and their applications. More information is available at http://www.memsindustrygroup.org and http://www.siliconrun.com/
- MEMS Industry Group: An Introduction to MEMS
Using the MEMS accelerometer and the digital micromirror as an example, this DVD explores MEMS technology in a concise, easy to understand, 8.5-minute package. Examples of MEMS are given from all industries, including industrial, automotive, life sciences, and consumer electronics.

- Part 1 of an Interview with one of the Architects of MontaVista Linux 6, Joe Green
This is an interview with one of the architects of MontaVista Linux 6, Joe Green. Joe talks about our approach with MVL6, and the use of BitBake in the new MontaVista Integration Platform.
- Part 1 of a Discussion with Jim Ready, Founder of MontaVista Software
This is part 1 of a discussion with Jim Ready, founder of MontaVista Software. In this video Jim discusses the beginning of the embedded Linux market, how MontaVista shaped this market, and how the market has changed in the past few years. At the close he talks about the future of embedded Linux development. Prior to starting MontaVista, Jimi developed the first commercially viable, real-time operating system: VRTX kernel. He founded Ready Systems in 1980, which merged with Microtec Research, went public in 1994, and was acquired by Mentor Graphics in 1995. During this period, Mr. Ready served as president of Ready Systems and as CTO of Microtec and Mentor. In 1999, Mr. Ready founded MontaVista Software to bring the Linux operating system to the embedded systems market
