Design West 2012 Part Two

In this week’s Fish Fry, I look into two ever-present themes at this year’s Design West Expo: power and software. On the software side, I interview David Kleidermacher (Green Hills Software – CTO) about embedded security, virtualization, and even Green Hills’s collaboration with Nintendo. On the power side, I chat with Infinite Power Solutions about energy harvesting and find out why they don’t call themselves “Limited Power Solutions”.

I have one more MAX V CPLD Development Kit courtesy of Altera to give away this week, but you’ll have to listen to find out how to win.
