NEC@Embedded Systems 2001
28 March 2001
DSP, Micros & Memory
The Embedded Systems 2001 tradeshow in Nuremberg in February brought together key players in the embedded vendor community to network with colleagues, discuss major issues affecting the industry and gain valuable insights into markets and trends. By far the largest European technical conference and product exhibition, NEC took the opportunity to communicate its wide portfolio of products, sevices and solutions for embedded applications, relecting its commitment to this industry.
In the past, various technologies have been the drivers for the semiconductor market. Now digital signal processing (DSP) technology has become the new drive, says NEC. The Internet is one of the main reasons. DSP is the on-ramp to the Internet since all modes: cable, DSL, or dial-up use DSP technology. All wireless handsets also use DSP, and virtually all consumer electronics employ the technology through DSP algorithms like AC-3 and MP-3 for audio, and MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 for video.
In just a few years the Intenet has appeared on every business card, in every media and on most business plans. At Embedded Systems NEC demonstrated how one can easily hook up products to the Internet using the company's V850 32 bit RISC microcontroller and the appropriate software. Also a highlight of the show was the Eagle evaluation board for NEC's 64 bit VR4122 microprocessor, which supports easy development of high-peformance handheld and portable computing applications. Operating systems such as WindowsCE or VxWorks are supported. This evaluation board comes with an LCD panel, graphics adapter and complete periphery, offering a perfect all-in-one package.
NEC says that its marketing strategy closely reflects key European segments such as automotive electronics, telecommunications, multimedia and industrial control, using the European Technology Centre to implement the concepts of tomorrow's applications.
