Chemical/ Physical Process unit Actors Selection Industrial Grade Industrial Grade – more than just extended temperature range Industrial Grade – a holistic design philosophy Product life cycle • Long industrial life cycles - 5-10 years and more – usage-time of products • Shorter innovation cycles - every 1-3 years a new generation Source: freescale Industrial Grade – the elements • Long industrial life cycles for modules to fit product life cycles - 5-10 years and more • All components on PHYTEC-modules available in extended temp. range • Robust design (EMV/EMI, power-distribution, connectors, shock tests) • Software implementations – fit for purpose • Certified production (VDA, KTA, IPC-610) The software aspect Software – a key factor The importance of standard software environments • Software as “translator” Soure: Embedded System Design; 09/02/07; by Richard Nass Two worlds supported by PHYTEC • WinCE • Real-time Linux • In-house know-how • Knowledge-transfer in-and-out • Alliances … more on WinCE WinCE 6.0 – what PHYTEC offers • own BSP for phyCORE • binary BSP include • usable for own applications with Visual Studio Sources on demand know-How • professional training with our partners • complete on phyCORE-module and baseboard • CETK like quality test Real-time Linux – OSADL compliant • Open source idea and industrial requirements • A different way to secure long term availability Real-time Linux • LINUX – what PHYTEC offers • Kernel-Versions up to date • The kits include sources • Own distribution • In-house know-how • Professional training with partners • Complete coverage of phyCORE-modules and baseboards Real-time Linux – OSADL compliant • OSADL- Open Source Automation Developent Lab The idea • Building a critical size of users • Catalyser for an industrial community • Definition of interfaces and standards (for example I/O framework) Real-time Linux – OSADL compliant • Feature Matrix Preempt RT features: • Patches for standard kernel • Kernel is preemtable • Implementation of High Resolution Timer • PI Mutexe Criteria for realtime Linux are: • Strong and agile community Test with MPC5200 at 396 MHz No Preempt RT With Preempt RT • Long term availability Idle ~ 3 ms ~ 50 µs • Ease of use (user space realtime) Hackbench ~ 3 ms ~ 70 µs • POSIX API for real time (standard API) • Wide architecture support • Mainstream support by the Vanilla Kernel WinCE or Linux • Software selection criteria Soure: Embedded System Design; 09/02/07; by Richard Nass Modular software design The connection in-between Software and Application Customer know-how Application The important link from hardware to solution .NET / dotGNU Framework X-Server File systems Webserver Display Linux / WinCE Open GL Actors Selection Database Qtopia Machine Keyboard Drivers for external peripherals Customer Core Competence Putting all elements together The modular design approach Summary Cost of ownership • Realistic evaluation of development costs • True calculation of upcoming costs • Including hardware- and software maintenance • Cost of ownership = Key word for sustained company success Efficient development ! The question of core competence and resources ! Do not re-invent the wheel ! Focussing on distinguishing features as added value Thank you for your attention.
