Preview of NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors 3.0, adding ability to create an embedded GUI and extending to Blackfin multicore (ADSP-BF561). LabVIEW gives engineers/scientists a way to design embedded systems easier and faster using graphical system design. Learn more at ni.com/blackfin.

Here's a cool example at NIWeek 2008 showing how NI's RIO hardware for prototyping and deployment is being used at FedEx.

FedEx needed a fire suppression system to protect their pilots, packages and planes. Ventura Aerospace solved the problem by designing and prototyping an intelligent fire monitoring and suppression control system with NI LabVIEW and CompactRIO and deploying to NI Single-Board RIO within a year.

When the NXT soccer match is on the line, people reveal their true selves.

Hey, guys -- I wanted to showcase NI's new embedded hardware . . . NI Single-Board RIO -- it's CompactRIO with an RT processor, FPGA, analog and digital I/O on a single board programmed with LabVIEW.
