    Synopsis: While 85% of embedded
     designs use C and C++, these
     languages are notorious for
     allowing unsafe code practices
     that give hackers a way to
     attack. This talk shows exactly
     how to keep your internet-
     connected product safe by
     writing your code properly the
     first time. Well-proven tools

    Synopsis: Security and functional
     safety are two key elements of
     embedded system development, and
     increasingly system architects are
     looking at solutions at the point
     where software touches the
     hardware. Processor architecture
     changes such as hardware
     virtualization extensions and
     TrustZone, and software changes in
     hypervisors and real-time
     operating systems (RTOS) take
     advantage of these architectural
     features. What are the real
     differences in these hardware and
     software technical innovations?
     For processors, how do hardware
     virtualization extensions compare
     with TrustZone for use for
     security and safety? For resource
     management, safety and security,
     how do new hypervisor offerings
     stack up to the established
     technology of RTOS? Are
     hypervisors a real trend in
     embedded systems or just hype?

    Location:                      Grand Ballroom C

    Synopsis:  We are relying more and
     more on electronics to make
     decisions that affect our lives,
     from assisted driving to robots in
     our home. Underlying all of this is
     a minimum requirement for functional
     safety, so that if things go wrong
     they will not produce results that
     endanger people. How does this
     requirement for functional safety
     affect the different parts of the IC
     supply chain? This panel attempts to
     answer that question with speakers
     from Arm, semiconductor company,
     RTOS vendor and Tier 1 supplier.
     They will speak about how
     collaboration from an early stage
     helps to accelerate the
     certification process and achieve
     the highest levels of safety, and
     the applications that will see most
     growth in the demand for safety-
     critical SoCs.

Green Hills Software Demos

Securing the Internet of Things
In collaboration with partners Qt and Clarinox, this demonstration showcases Bluetooth real-time sensor integration from Clarinox running on a Texas Instruments SensorTag device through a Qt-based human machine interface (HMI). The separation architecture of the Green Hills INTEGRITY® RTOS assures freedom-from-interference.

Safety Instrument Clusters and Cockpit
Green Hills Software will demonstrate the INTEGRITY RTOS and Multivisor(TM) platform for the Renesas R-Car H3, featuring fully accelerated 3D graphics utilizing the PowerVR(TM) GX6650 3D graphics processing unit (GPU) for an INTEGRITY-based digital instrument cluster. The instrument cluster receives prioritized access to the GPU to achieve 60 frames per second, while simultaneously sharing access to the GPU for applications running on a virtualized Linux guest operating system.
