Meeting Description
"Designing Reliable Embedded Systems"
Presenter: Burt Snover Est. Duration: 60 minutes
Whether due to safety concerns, the cost of downtime, or the inaccessibility of the system, reliability is often one of the most important considerations when putting an embedded system together. This presentation will discuss useful tools for identifying the costly points of failure, software best practices that will help keep your systems running for the long-haul, and architecture tools like redundancy, safe-states, and watchdogs that can make sure that if failures do occur they are safe and recoverable. This presentation will focus on LabVIEW RT and FPGA, but many of the tools and techniques discussed could be helpful in any application.
