The Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) has released a benchmark suite aimed at applications processors and higher-performance microcontrollers with floating-point units.

Unsettled by attacks on embedded devices such as the point-of-sale terminals used by retailers such as Target and the potential for hackers to target critical infrastructure, the industry focused squarely on security at this year’s Embedded World in Nürnberg, Germany.

A variety of organizations used Embedded World to introduce kits to attract a broader base of developers looking at Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Express Logic has developed a tool to monitor the real-time resource requirements of multithreaded embedded systems that lets designers tune task priorities, stack usage and other factors for improved efficiency and memory usage.

HCC Embedded has extended the TCP/IP stack the company wrote using MISRA rules and formalized V-model processes to include web server, mail, time, and network management protocols.
