QNX's own Doug Schaefer nominated for Top Ambassador
for the Eclipse Community Awards
Doug Schaefer has been nominated for Top Ambassador for the upcoming Eclipse
Community Awards to be presented at EclipseCon 2007, in Santa Clara, March 5th
to 8th.
Doug has worked tirelessly for the CDT for years and has developed the CDT project
into the prime example of cross company cooperation. The CDT has matured
significantly under Doug's direction and is becoming a defacto standard IDE for C/C++
development tools.
Good luck and congratulations, Doug.

RECAP: Embedded World
Nuremburg
February 13-15, 2007
QNX Software Systems enjoyed yet another successful year at Embedded World – with what organizer’s estimate at a 20% increase over last year, it is no wonder. Our team in Germany was constantly busy for the three days with booked customer meetings and answering questions from those waiting in the queue to find out more about QNX. Our in-booth presentations, delivered in German, attracted attention from show attendees. Almost every session pulled in anywhere from 10 to 60 people to learn about either multi-core development or modular multimedia systems from our dynamic presenter.
We also had great success with our presenter from National Instruments, taking a daily presentation spot to focus on simplifying multiprocessor system programming using the NI LabVIEW graphical programming software and the QNX Neutrino RTOS.

10 New Whitepapers Available For Download
Every year, Nuremburg hosts Embedded World, the industry’s largest, most comprehensive technology conference and exhibition. This year, in recognition of QNX Software System’s leadership as a technology innovator, the conference organizers invited QNX engineers to deliver 10 technical papers, on topics ranging from memory analysis through multi-core chips to multimedia design.
Not everyone could attend Embedded World 2007, so we've made these papers available, to you, for download:
Using Memory Analysis to Create Leaner, Faster, More Reliable Embedded Systems
Managing memory efficiently is just as important as managing it reliably. That’s why you need memory analysis tools that go the distance - from early detection of subtle errors to precise tuning of long-term memory usage.
Download this whitepaper.
Using System Tracing Tools to Optimize Multi-Core Systems
By helping you visualize complex system behavior, system tracing tools make it far easier to troubleshoot and optimize a multi-core application.
Download this whitepaper.
Using POSIX Threading to Build Scalable Multi-Core Applications
Learn how worker threads and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) can leverage the true hardware parallelism offered by multi-core chips.
Download this whitepaper.
Case Study: Making a Successful Transition to Multi-Core Processors
Which multiprocessing model makes sense for your multi-core project? A look at how one development team minimized their migration efforts while maximizing system throughput.

Software Design Choices for Multimedia-Enabled Devices
By using a modular, component-based design, system integrators can build systems flexible enough to support new media formats and new DRM techniques, yet reliable enough for the most demanding markets.
Download this whitepaper.
Using Resource Partitioning to Build Secure, Survivable Embedded Systems
By providing guaranteed access to system resources, partitioning can ensure the availability of critical services, even when your system experiences a heavy processing load or a denial-of-service attack.

Getting the Most out of Eclipse CDT
Eclipse CDT has become the de facto standard for developing embedded C/C++ applications. Find out what’s new, what’s coming, and what extensions are available for debugging and optimizing your software projects.
Download this whitepaper.
Using Open Source Software to Create Successful Commercial Products
Using the highly successful QNX Momentics IDE as an example, this paper examines the benefits, strategies, obstacles, and opportunities associated with using open source in commercial products.

Application-Driven Power Management for Embedded Systems
When it comes to power management, no two mobile devices have the same requirements. Enter a framework that lets you create a power policy optimized for your specific design.
Download this whitepaper.
Well-Tested, Well-Protected: Writing Device Drivers in User Space
By debugging a driver in user space, you can make memory violations easier to catch, take advantage of source-level debuggers, and eliminate the need to reboot your target every time the driver faults.
