More from Adam Taylor about Zynq and SDSoC: "Zynq is a device every embedded system designer should be familiar with"

Adam Taylor publishes the MicroZed Chronicles weekly in the Xcell Daily blog so you are likely familiar with his writing. Adam has just published an article about SDSoC and Zynq titled “High-level synthesis comes of age with SDSoC” on the Embedded.com Web site. Here’s his motivation for writing this article:
“…Zynq is a device every embedded system designer should be familiar with and considering for their application. At its heart the Zynq is not a FPGA with embedded processors -- like previous generations of FPGA with Power PCs -- but a true embedded processor with very flexible interfacing capabilities (DDR, CAN, UART, USB, Giga Bit Ethernet, SPI and I2C to name a few). What separates the Zynq from other embedded processors is the attached programmable logic, and with SDSoC embedded system developers can exploit this pretty simply…
SDSoC takes the eclipse front end, Vivado HLS, Vivado and a lot of behind the scenes intelligence to create seamlessly the option to accelerate software functions in the attached programmable logic of the device.”
What follows is a simple explanation of what SDSoC brings to the party from a design engineer’s perspective.

The file did not exist, so I created it and changed "pt" to "it". Thanks a bunch, that fixed it!
Try SMPlayer.
Ah, I'd rather not involve Qt. Besides, isn't SMPlayer simply a frontend to Mplayer (who already has GMplayer integrated into it, IIRC)?

On my monitor, from my point of view, it appears to make a difference. It's that simple

For all the three combos, I have "driver default" selected. The other option is "default"; I tried to manually type "Master" into the mixer channel field, but then gmplayer's windows and my Xfce taskbar started blinking, so I knew I had just "crossed streams".
Regarding NVIDIA X Server Settings, running "usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only" at login is the only way to apply the settings "automatically".
I've slapped that on my ~/.xinitrc before "exec startxfce4". Thanks in advance, going to test it now!
About the refresh and non-decorated windows issues (which *appears* to be solved after I've wiped the xfce-session cache), I've been thinking: could they somehow be related the login manager I've chosen, SLIM?
P.S. New question: is there any way to enable the ALT+num126 for ~ keyboard behaviour I'm used to under M$ environments?

    Hi,  I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5.  It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera.  I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download.  8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page.  I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10.  Please can you tell me my options?  Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application.  What should I do?  How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750.  Many thanks, Adam.

    Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

    2 of my personas dissappeared from 'My Gallery' since they've rearranged the viewingorder (from highest ranking to creationdate), and 2 of them are showing double. My designer name is 'Nielske' and the personas not showing in my gallery are: "Madonna - Interview Magazine Collection" and "Madonna - Interview Magazine 4". However they are showing in the complete Persona Database if searched under Madonna (page 5).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the personas in My Gallery (Personas by designer Nielske) got sorted bij date of creation instead of highest ranking

    I have the same problem.

  • Questions from a Rookie about JSP and JEE

    Hello friends. I've just started to learn JEE and JSP technologies. I have some experience with .Net and PHP; but just found time to learn JSP. I have developed a simple Web application by using those technologies. And I want to deploy those codes to the web. I have googled. But could not find an explanatory tutorial about this topic.
    My second Question is:
    I am using Netbeans 6 Beta 2 and I am connecting to a Database by using a function let's say something called connectDb() with SSH;. How can I bind a Data table with this function. (Netbeans have a buildin component for binding to a component to db but does not support SSH)
    Thanx in advance. I would appreciate any kind of help.

    Hello.
    Is there anybody in there?
    Just reply if you can help me.
    Is there anyone here?

  • I just bought an ibook pro and want to download a browser like google chrome which I am familiar with. Safari just seems to be a lot of icons for shopping and I would like to disable it and put something more functional in its place. How do I ?

    I thought I just posted this question but maybe not. I'm going from a PC to an iBook and am trying to customize it. Can I add a browser like google chrome or even foxfire and disable safari? Safari jst seems to be an app store. Thnaks

    It sound like you did something wrong. Try another download and install.
    Download of Chrome
    https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en
    Direction to install
    Download the installer file
    Open the file called "Google Chrome.dmg" after it's downloaded.
    In the window that opens, drag the Chrome icon to the Application folder. This installs Chrome for all user accounts on your computer. Your home page settings and browser history will automatically be imported from your default browser.If you don't have administrative rights, drag the icon to a location on your computer where you do have rights, such as your Desktop. Chrome will only be installed for your user account.
    The first time you open the browser, the Finder will ask you to confirm that you want to open the application downloaded from the Internet. Click Open to continue.
    You'll see a message letting you know that you can search with Google directly from the address bar (also known as the omnibox). If you'd like to change yourdefault search engine, click Change.
    Unmount the Google Chrome disk image on your Desktop by dragging it to the Eject icon in the Dock. (Make sure you're dragging the disk image and not the Google Chrome application icon.)

  • When I open my computer and use it for a period of time it freezes up and it say Mozilla Firefox is not responding. What should I do with this?

    This happened several times already that my computer freezes up and it says Mozilla Firefox is not responding. When this happen it takes a long time before I can use my computer, I would say one hour or sometimes it takes 2 hours. When it takes like 30 minutes of freezing up what I do is I force the computer to shut down by pressing start button.
    And Ihttps://support.mozilla.com/media/img/markup/page_link.png wait for 3 to 5 minutes than I press the start button again to open the computer. When computer open up the Toshiba starts loading up all files after that I can use the computer for a while. I don't if there's something wrong with my computer or something else. I have Window Vista home premium.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
    I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

  • Saving result from sp_executesql into a variable and using dynamic column name - getting error "Error converting data type varchar to numeric"

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

    >> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
    This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
    the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity. 
    In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point. 
    Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity. 
    Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables! 
    Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.  
    Think about how silly this is: 
     SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
    We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental. 
    We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

  • Question about icloud and itunes match

    when icloud comes out i know i can download all my purchased music on my apple id but i purchased most of my apps and music on an old apple id , my question is if i use itunes match are those apps and songs assosiated with my new apple id so when i backup from iCloud my old music and apps are there too. In pretty sure my music will work with itunes match but what about my apps?

    Itunes match has not been release so it is hard to know.
    Just sign into your old account and use icloud.

  • TS1398 My iphone 4S has been updated to the newest software and isn't detecting internet, although sometimes it connects for a few seconds and then disappears again. I have tried everything it has said on the internet about this and it still isn't working

    My iphone 4S has been updated to the newest software and isn't detecting internet, although sometimes it connects for a few seconds and then disappears again. I have tried everything it has said on the internet about this and it still isn't working.

    Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.

  • Thank you from an iOS 6 user and a question

    Thank you for sorting out the problem for iOS 6 users. All my work documents are on there and I nearly had a coronary when they had disappeared.
    Is there any way I can back up docs saved in the app on my PC or is this done through iTunes?

    You can back up your documents by syncing your iPad/iPhone through iTunes.
    You also can connect your device to your computer, then open iTunes. Select the device in iTunes. In the App tab, scroll down to the File Sharing area at the bottom. Select Adobe Reader, and you'll see copies all the PDFs that Reader has on your device. There's an option at the bottom to save PDFs to a separate location on your computer. You can use the same dialog to add PDF documents from your PC to iTunes and sync them to your device.

  • Xilinx SDAccel and NI LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite win a pair of EETimes/EDN ACE Ultimate Product Awards

    Last night, EETimes and EDN presented a number of ACE Awards including twelve “Ultimate Product” awards. The Xilinx SDAccel Development Environment for C, C++, and OpenCL won the Ultimate Product Award in the Development Kits category.
    EETimes/EDN 2015 ACE Awards
    From the SDAccel entry form:
    “The SDAccel development environment for OpenCL, C, and C++, enables up to 25X better performance/watt for data center application acceleration leveraging FPGAs and combines the industry’s first architecturally optimizing compiler supporting any combination of OpenCL, C, and C++ kernels, along with libraries, development boards, and the first complete CPU/GPU-like development and run-time experience for FPGAs. SDAccel streamlines the development and deployment of critical algorithms such as Deep Neural Networks used in machine learning.
    SDAccel includes the industry’s first architecturally optimizing compiler that makes efficient use of on-chip FPGA resources along with a familiar software-development flow based on an Eclipse integrated design environment (IDE) for code development, profiling and debugging, providing a CPU/GPU-like work environment.
    SDAccel leverages Xilinx’s dynamically reconfigurable technology to enable accelerator kernels optimized for different applications to be swapped in and out on the fly. The applications can have multiple kernels swapped in and out of the FPGA during run-time without disrupting the interface between the server CPU and the FPGA for nonstop application acceleration. This functionality is ideal for swapping applications during peak loading periods.”
    (Note: For more information about the Xilinx SDAccel design environment, see “CPU/GPU-like software development environment for OpenCL, C, C++ delivers FPGA-based app acceleration with 25x better performance/W,” “and “Latest SDAccel release adds 4 new hardware dev platforms, 4 new libraries, 6 new design services firms.”)
    Vinay Singh accepts an ACE Award for the SDAccel design environment from Max Maxfield
    The LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite from National Instruments (NI) won the ACE Ultimate Product Award in the Software category. NI’s LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite combines software defined radio (SDR) hardware with a comprehensive, unified software design flow to help engineers prototype 5G systems. The package includes built-in application frameworks for WiFi and LTE that enable wireless developers to focus on creating specific components based on existing standards rather than designing new algorithms from scratch.
    The LabView Communications System Design software is coupled with the company’s USRP software-defined radio development platform for 5G research, which is based on a Xilinx Kintex-7 All Programmable FPGA. Wireless engineers can use the NI USRP RIO and the NI LabVIEW Communications System Design software to rapidly prototype real-time wireless communications systems and test them under real-world conditions.
    (Note: For more information about the NI LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite, see “LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite combines SDR hardware with a unified software design flow for 5G development.”)
    Congratulations to all of the talented developers from both National Instruments and Xilinx who created these award-winning products.
