Module set to speed development of ‘complex embedded systems’

National Instruments has launched a module which it says will help design teams to speed the development of complex embedded systems. Called the sbRIO-9651, or SOM, the module combines Xilinx' Zynq 7020 SoC and supporting components, a complete middleware solution, a validated board support package and a Linux based RTOS.

"Today's embedded monitoring and control applications are more complex than ever and tighter deadlines and rising costs only increase stress for system designers," said Jamie Smith, director of embedded systems marketing. "Studies show that design teams using the LabVIEW RIO architecture can solve complex embedded problems in half the time, compared with traditional custom design approaches." The SOM is said to give design teams the ability to use a custom solution but without the increased time and added.
