Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is the successor to the WES7 (Windows Embedded Standard 7) and WE8S (Window Embedded 8 Standard) operating systems.
The products under the banner of Windows Embedded have a long history of deployment outside of the traditional desktop, […]
It’s very common for a large (4 or 8GB) eMMC Flash device to be offered as an alternative to a small NAND device, or an SD card, for storage of the (compressed) boot image, or other non-volatile storage requirements.
But although these devices feature wear […]
Hacking of pr
oduction embedded systems in the field should be an immediate concern to all projects. Happily, for i.MX6 family processors (and some earlier i.MX family devices too), Freescale / NXP provides a system call High Assurance Boot […]
Setting up with a Yocto build is a frequently asked question, and so I’ve compiled the steps into an Application Note. The first paragraphs are below, but you need to go to our Application Notes page to read in full or […]
If you would like to see William White and I making fools of ourselves, take a look at our first ever video, featuring unboxing of the very photogenic A31-uQ7 quad-core module devkit.
Unfortunately the camera doesn’t love the presenters quite so much. But rather than try to polish the whole thing with […]
Our recently-announced quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 module, the A31-uQ7 is based on a standard Qseven pinout – something we’ve not felt necessary over the last 15 years of pioneering the system-on-module market. So has something changed?
While standard pinouts find good use in the x86 world, there have been 3 reasons why they are less prevalent on […]
Windows 10 is coming this summer, on July 29th we’re told. Although Windows CE (currently aka Windows Embedded Compact 2013) will continue to be supported, should we expect embedded projects based on CE – or for that matter on Linux – to rush to the new OS?
The 3 flavours![windows 10 iot [...]

i.MX6 module with mainline Linux and Yocto support
The Linux kernel supporting the TRITON-TX pin-compatible range of system-on-modules is substantially mainline – i.e. being maintained to keep as close as possible to the current Linux kernel version.
This has obvious advantages. But […]
I’ve recently been working on a number of customer Windows Embedded projects and as part of this I had the opportunity to visit the office of some old colleagues at the design services company Bytesnap.
While there I was interviewed about Windows Embedded CE 6 and how it’s still a viable choice for embedded designs. If you’d […]
We have now been supplying modules for over 20 years, and are currently offering a longevity guarantee of 10 years for new design ins. Very nice, but what are the implications and challenges from the user perspective of using a module over a long period?
Despite our best efforts (and the level of effort that goes […]
