Die-shrunk x86 SoC draws 2 Watts at 1GHz

DMP Electronics announced a 32-bit x86-compatible SoC (system on chip) claimed to run Linux using under two Watts. The Vortex86DX targets home gateways, thin clients, and industrial controllers, and offers an "embedded redundancy" feature that can link two boards, says DMP.

$7 ARM9 SoC gains mainline support

Rousset, France-based semiconductor firm Atmel announced that the Linux 2.6.27 mainline kernel release has added support for its AT91SAM9G20 system-on-chip (SoC). Equipped with an ARM926EJ-S core clocked to 400MHz, the AT91SAM9G20 is offered with a Linux v2.6.27 kernel, patches, drivers, demos, and the Angstrom/OpenEmbedded development environment, says the company.

Virtual system mimics superscalar SoC

Virtutech has announced a virtual system for simulating the Renesas Technologies SH-4A superscalar system-on-chip (SoC). Based on its Simics simulated development platform, the SH-4A simulator has been tested on Express Logic's ThreadX real-time operating system (RTOS), but should also work with Linux, says the company.

$1 Flat fee SOC Exchange takes on eBay

Sick of eBay and their PayPal pushing processes? Now there is another new kid on the block setting up a virtual Lemonade Stand. The SOC Exchange is distinguishing itself from eBay by offering a flat fee structure, rather than taking a slice of the seller’s profit.

Tiny SBC builds on Cortex-A8 SoC

Gumstix launched a tiny fourth-generation version of its open-source, gumstick-shaped SBC (single-board computer). The Linux-based Overo Earth measures 17 x 58 x 4.2mm, 40 percent smaller than the earlier Verdex, and it has switched to the ARM Cortex-A8-based Texas Instruments (TI) OMAP 3503 system-on-chip (SoC).

Doing Business on eBay Alternative for a Buck a Month

The SOC Exchange, an online marketplace community created by Australian entrepreneur Franco Lagudi, officially launched in the U.S. last June. Setting itself apart from many of the eBay alternatives available to sellers, the SOC Exchange charges sellers just one dollar a month or a $10 per year to sell, with no other fees.

New Soc Profs Weblog

I am an advisor. I have advisees. More than one even. I met with them for the first time, ostensibly to offer some advice on the first year of grad school. I blathered about a positive attitude, attending all talks in the department, volunteering to work on research projects to get their feet wet, and then promptly referred them to the Rulz. They are cool and smart — and I will henceforth say nothing about them.

ADSL routers gain updated Linux port

A MIPS-based system-on-chip (SoC) popular in ADSL modems and IADs (integrated access devices) has gained fresh Linux kernel patches and a port of the OpenWRT Linux router distribution. The developments should help owners of gear based on Broadcom BCM63xx SoCs to update and maintain their systems.

Unified verification for hardware and embedded software developers

Increasingly, embedded software is overtaking the hardware content of SoC devices. The net result is a causality dilemma: which comes first - the "final" hardware or the "final" software?
