Avalue Technology has announced a new 3.5" rugged Single Board Computer with significant enhancements in processing power for the most challenging environments. The new ECM-ASL substantially amplifies CPU and GPU capabilities, with scalability from 2 to 8 cores to address a variety of industrial demands. It supports an impressive 0°C to 60°C operating temperature range, or an even more extreme -40°C to 85°C range depending on the selected CPU configuration, making it ideal for use in environments from scorching deserts to industrial freezers. ECM-ASL accepts a wide input voltage range of 9VDC - 36VDC, and offers unmatched connectivity and expandability, including triple display support. https://lnkd.in/e78ajmsW

CX7000 Embedded PC for BACnet/IP and PROFINET RT https://lnkd.in/daU5bY4U Beckhoff’s CX7000 series has been expanded to include two devices with an Arm® Cortex®-A9  processor (720 MHz). The basic equipment includes a slot for a microSD card, an Ethernet interface, eight integrated multifunction inputs and four integrated multifunction outputs.

The main problem with developing SMP-capable RTOS for ARM Cortex-M processors turned out to be, that there is only a few of them. If you check how many such processors are there, you'll find just a bunch of them. Maybe some ESP32s, a few STM32s, RP2040 and that's pretty much it. Even some of these are in fact designed for AMP rather than SMP. Second core is there so you can run certified radio firmware or something like that. With such low market penetration, even the environment around it is quite poorly equipped and documented. Right now the biggest problem I have is the ability to debug code running on second core. I have managed to crash every debugger and probe I have tried so far. Sure, the design of RP2040 which I use for the development purposes is not the most standard one. I am on the verge of putting SMP support on hold, give it a feature flag which emits compile error if you try to enable it for now and move on to another features which are more important now. My hope now is the RP2350. It seems that their SMP design regarding debugging interface will be slightly different and naturally, I am also impressed by the apparently very capable RISC-V core selectable at the boot time. #rp2350 #rtos #embeddedsoftware #cmrxrtos
