The ferry operator could next year build on its investment by using radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to let Nautical Miles club frequent travellers automatically check in private cars for sailings.

Information manager Craig Anderson says a new International Ship and Port Facility Security code approved in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks meant Interislander had to identify trucks checking in to its terminals before they dropped off their trailer units. It also needed to be prepared to bar access to the port facility if necessary.

A manual system could have caused problems at its cramped terminal in Wellington, where traffic risked backing up on to State Highway 1. Interislander has instead issued Pins and swipe cards to truck drivers who can check their loads in and out of the terminal at automated barriers, linked to its reservations system, where their vehicles are now also weighed.

Terminal services manager David Shepherd says Interislander has begun further automating the process, issuing RFID tags so that truck drivers no longer need to stop to wind down their windows at the barriers – doubling throughput.

RFID tags could be mailed to Nautical Miles members, replacing manual ticket checks, though this would probably only speed loading times if RFID and non-RFID traffic streams could be separated at the terminal.

Visual checks would still be required on private vehicles to ensure they were carrying the ticketed number of passengers.

Mainfreight port operations manager Ken Harris confirms the system has gone down well with truckies. “Everyone is happy with the system.”

Interislander says it has had numerous spin-offs.

The weighing of all trailer units on entry to the terminal avoids problems during loading, and the system produces records that allow Interislander to chase up truck drivers who arrive late, holding up sailings.

Mr Shepherd says trailers carrying livestock and hazardous goods need to be specially located in ships’ holds, meaning a single late arrival can hold up a sailing.

You can see a sampling of the letters here and here. Those are from Republicans. This one is from Democrats.

With all the mass hysteria ginned up by AT&T, Verizon, the Communications Workers of America and their lackeys in Congress and around the country, casual observers might be excused for thinking that the FCC had actually done something harmful to those fine organizations and their allies.

Who is more worthy of our elected representatives advocacy? Big telecom companies which want to exercise control over something they never controlled? Or the millions of people who are used to an Internet in which they, not big media, make decisions about how to go about their online lives, whether investing millions of dollars, uploading a video or just listening to music.

So far, it’s the first batch. And unfortunately, the misguided members of Congress aren’t alone in their campaign to destroy today’s Internet. Telecom industry organizations, labor and even some state governors and civil rights groups, are getting in on the act, urging the FCC, when it proposes rules on Thursday, to allow AT&T, Comcast and Verizon to have unlimited power to do what they want to online.

Bullying, Whining and Irrelevance Are Main Tactics

The arguments follow the same pattern as any powerful industry that wants to get its way in Washington. Look at the health care debate. Commit any reform and premiums will go up. Death panels will ensue. Care will be rationed. It’s all the same threats and bullying that industry, any industry, does to influence weak-willed legislators or timid regulators.

It’s also all the same throwing spaghetti to the wall and see what sticks. The indignant representatives of Big Business love to cloud the issue with all sorts of distractions. Instead of sticking to the core issue of how Big Telecom will interfere with someone’s personal use of the Internet, they throw in all sorts of irrelevancies. What about Google? What about consumer electronics? How can you contemplate a “major shift” in policy during a recession? Net Neutrality rules will “thwart broadband investment and availability,” the House Republican leaders say, parroting the industry talking points. “Burdensome regulations will have a chilling effect on private sector investment, at a time when the U.S. economy can least afford such an impact,” GOP senators tell the Commission.

Let’s start with the basics. First, it was the change from a non-discriminatory network to the morass we have today that was the radical shift in policy. Those who want a non-discrimination policy are the conservatives, who want to bring back the policy that allowed the Internet to be created and to grow. The concept is ridiculously simple. Those who control the networks shouldn’t play favorites. Or, in the vernacular of some Republican legislators, those who control the networks shouldn’t “pick winners and losers” through their policies.

The Internet (and the online networks that preceded it) started over the telephone network, back in the days when telephone service was regulated and “unreasonable discrimination” was banned by law. Most of the culture and innovation that we have today come from that era of innovation without permission. The telephone companies had nothing to do with the content. The term of art was that the Internet operated on the “end to end” principle. Most than a technical standard, it was a philosophy that the users at each end of an Internet session controlled what happened. Customers, not carriers, decided where they would go, what they would see, and, later, how fast they would see it. When cable first entered the broadband era, it followed these rules, if for no other reason than the industry didn’t know what it had in the ground.

Some good economist could probably calculate the value the neutral Internet has produced. Think of all the jobs of Web developers, and network engineers and artists and marketers and construction workers. Think of the value of untold number of companies, some big, some tiny, some successful, some not. It’s truly amazing that Google is the number one target of the telephone and cable companies these days (more about that later). Google was created as a Web company. It’s an American success story and yet the telephone companies, which blew their online opportunities several times over, have made it into an enemy of the state – or at least an enemy of their state.

U.S. ‘Middle of the Pack’ in Internet

Of course, as use of the Internet grew, so did demand for telecommunications services, and so the telephone and cable companies responded, to varying degrees, by improving their networks, even at a time when their competition was being driven out of business and the big companies were allowed by Federal regulators to consolidate their stranglehold on access to the Internet. Ten years ago, there were 5,000 or so Internet Service Providers. Consumers had choices. Today, a customer is lucky to have two – a cable or a telephone company. Wireless doesn’t count because it doesn’t get to broadband speeds and because the telephone companies own most of the wireless customers. Even so, the case for non-discrimination in wireless is as strong as for the wired world.

Some lucky Verizon customers have a fiber service. Most of the country doesn’t. That data is unassailable. Consumers have little, if any choice, which means that they have no recourse if their Internet Service Provider messes around with their Internet experience.

This threat not to invest is similarly without merit. Preventing the Big Telecom companies from playing favorites has nothing to do with investment, or deployment. They will invest and deploy, or not, as they wish. That’s part of the problem.

The fact is that Verizon and AT&T lived under Net Neutrality-like principles since 2005 when Southwestern Bell first bought the old AT&T and then when the new AT&T bought out BellSouth. The AT&T/BellSouth conditions were the toughest, specifically banning the new entity for two years from prioritizing traffic based on source, ownership or destination of the data traffic. Verizon had to follow the same conditions when it bought MCI. But merger conditions expire, and the FCC’s open Internet principles, which don’t cover discrimination, aren’t as good as permanent rules, which might have discrimination against services enshrined.

Still, the telecom companies have invested since, to varying degrees. It couldn’t have been very encouraging for our elected representatives to see that a comprehensive report concluded that “The United States is a middle-of-the-pack performer on most first generation broadband measures.”

They similarly couldn’t have been gratified to read that the policies we ditched – like non-discrimination and allowing competitors access to telecom networks that the FCC took away – helped our international competitors leapfrog us: “Our most surprising and significant finding is that ‘open access’ policies—unbundling, bitstream access, collocation requirements, wholesaling, and/or functional separation—are almost universally understood as having played a core role in the first generation transition to broadband in most of the high performing countries; that they now play a core role in planning for the next generation transition; and that the positive impact of such policies is strongly supported by the evidence of the first generation broadband transition.”

The common thread here is that Net Neutrality deals with the Network – that complicated transmission medium over which consumers have no control and little knowledge. Whatever issues legislators have with Google or any other Web company are irrelevant to this debate. This is about Network Neutrality – the ability of a big Telecom Provider to render an advantage of one service over another, with consumers having no say in the matter.

Taking Advantage of Disadvantaged Constituents

Perhaps the saddest part of the whole affair to date is the role of groups representing minority populations. For whatever reason – whether they believe what the Big Telecom companies tell them or not – many organizations seem to land on policies that hurt their constituencies and fall into ludicrous traps one suspects are not of their making.

An ad scheduled to run in the inside Congressional newspapers, signed by Hispanic and Black groups, uses the language of horror: “Transforming the FCC into the Internet Police would cause big problems. Less Investment. Fewer Jobs. Even less, not more, speech.” It raises the 2005-era question of what would happen if someone was blocked from a Web site and concluded that, if a customer were blocked, “the FCC would stop it.”

Even for a simple propaganda ad, this one makes no sense at all. How would making sure that Big Telecom doesn’t play favorites lead to this parade of horribles? How can there be less speech if Big Telecom is prevented from bestowing advantages? And how could the FCC stop any problems if it didn’t have the authority – to be the “Internet police,” to borrow a phrase? No idea. And, by the way, aren’t some companies in court challenging the FCC’s authority?

What’s worse, these are the constituencies that are most hurt by the lack of competition and the lack of good network deployment. These are the businesses most at risk for being on the short end of a non-neutral Internet. So why are the groups taking part? Is FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, the African-American woman who is one of the newest appointees, the target of these minority ads? Good questions. No answers yet.

By all means, let the irrelevancies and indignation flow from the highest points. Let Big Telecom be protected from the insult of having to step aside and let consumers and other businesses have control over their Internet experiences. But don’t pretend that the irrelevancies and indignation are anything more than shilling. Because in most cases, they aren’t. And don’t pretend that today’s open Internet will survive if Big Telecom gets its way

The Universal Postal Union (UPU) has announced that it will upgrade its 21 country quality efficiency program with new RFID tags provided by Alien.

The program involves placement of UHF RFID tags within thousands of test-delivery envelopes which are subsequently circulated throughout various post offices in the 21 participating countries, ranging from Mexico to Malaysia. The tagged envelopes are then read at distinct locations and the efficiency of the postal network is then measured and quantified.

The main objective of the program is to identify potentially slow mail routes and bottlenecks in order to streamline the delivery processes. In order to ensure accurate reads, the UPU selected Alien’s tags, which were recently lauded as “top ranking” by the European EPC Competence Center (EECC).

The AIDA Center, commissioned by the UPU to help decide which tags to choose, agreed with the EECC after conducting comparative inlay analysis, finding that the Alien tags provided the best read range as well as the most consistent read performance.  

Art Swift, VP of marketing at MIPS, told EE Times that MIPS-based handsets will be shipped over the next several years. He noted that MIPS now sees its licensees making actual progress.

The company’s strategy of riding the Android wave is well known. Google initially created Android as open source software platform for smart phones using ARM processors. But MIPS also saw an opening since OEMs already using MIPS cores are interested in adopting the code for a broad range of systems, including netbooks, e-books, digital picture frames and medical devices.

Swift isn’t just talking about Android-based digital photo frames, personal media players (PMPs), personal navigation devices (PNDs), Blu-ray players, netbooks or mobile Internet devices—where MIPS cores are already used or are more likely to reside.

He is also talking about MIPS design wins in cellphones. That’s news to many in the industry.

Will Strauss, president of Forward Concepts, said, “The only low-power MIPS implementation of which I am aware is the RMI version of the AMD Alchemy low-power MIPS architecture that was sold to then-Raza in 2006.”

Strauss said “RMI processors are in Samsung digital picture frames, products which certainly could lend themselves to Android implementations, and I’ve seen Android prototypes of picture frames by another company.” Android could be useful in PMPs, he pointed out, noting that many Korea PMP makers are actually working on them, using RMI’s MIPS-based processor.

Still, Strauss said he has yet to see a MIPS core in a mobile handset.

FiberNet stockholders approved the transaction at a special stockholder meeting held on September 9, 2009, and the merger was effective as of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State’s office on September 9, 2009.

FiberNet stockholders will receive $11.45 in cash for each share of FiberNet stock that they owned immediately prior to the merger. Zayo acquired 100% of the outstanding FiberNet shares and consequently FiberNet’s stock will no longer be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, the paying agent for this transaction, will mail letters of transmittal to all FiberNet stockholders of record immediately following the merger with instructions on how to deliver their stock certificates to the paying agent in exchange for the payment of the merger consideration. Stockholders should not surrender their stock certificates until they have completed the letter of transmittal. Stockholders who held their shares in “street name” through a bank or broker should contact their bank or broker to determine what actions they must take to receive the merger consideration.

The merger results in Zayo owning 100% of the common stock of FiberNet. Consequently, FiberNet has notified the NASDAQ Stock Market of Zayo’s completion of its acquisition of FiberNet, and requested that FiberNet’s shares of common stock be voluntarily delisted, and trading be halted on its shares of common stock. NASDAQ has informed FiberNet that with effect from the close of business on September 9, 2009, FiberNet’s common stock will be suspended from listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market and that the Form 25 in respect of FiberNet, providing notification of removal from listing and registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), will be filed immediately thereafter.

Transmode, a leading provider of optical networking solutions, today announced the launch of its Multi-Service Mobile Backhaul Solution. This unique WDM over fiber solution provides “hybrid” native support of both TDM and Ethernet traffic and supports multiple synchronization streams per wavelength. It therefore enables a smooth migration to Ethernet or all-IP backhaul networks and cost effective support of 3G and LTE multimedia service roll outs.

The new Multi-Service Mobile Backhaul Solution provides a fiber-based backhaul that offers a unique and valuable form of differentiation that will help carriers overcome synchronization and bandwidth problems so that they can more quickly and confidently roll out new 3G, LTE-based and 4G services. The ability to maintain multiple synchronization signals to the cell sites in a mobile network allows the operator to simultaneously support a mix of 2G (TDM), 3G (ATM/Ethernet) and LTE/4G (Ethernet) radio base station equipment and legacy E1/T1, FE/GE and STM-1/OC-3 for one or more mobile operators. The multi-service characteristic enables a gradual migration and the possibility to do selected capacity upgrades in dense areas without affecting the core network architecture. It also makes it equally well suited to support migration to all-IP also in the fixed network.

The Multi-Service Mobile Backhaul Solution is part of Transmode’s popular Intelligent WDM (iWDM™) based TM-Series. The solution comprises of three main components:

1) Access

a. Collects E1/T1 and Ethernet signals in up to 8 synchronization groups, on a single wavelength from Mobile cell sites and co-located DSLAMs

b. Consists of different 1u Access nodes that can support varying capacity demands

c. Supports up to 16x E1/T1 + 4x Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet (linerate) per 1u unit, with cascade facility for very high capacity nodes

2) Hub

a. Aggregates E1/T1 traffic from Access nodes into STM-1/OC-3 signals

b. Hand-off of collected Fast Ethernet and GbE signals for further transport

3) Backhaul

WDM-based Layer 1 and Layer 2 transport solution for SDH/SONET and Ethernet traffic to appropriate control points and switching centers

“Transmode is helping mobile operators achieve an effective LTE migration strategy by offering both the deterministic performance required for effective synchronization and the ability to support multiple synchronization streams on a single wavelength,” said David Dunphy, Managing Partner of Telecom Strategy Partners. “This solution lets operators migrate to the Ethernet and IP fiber-based backhaul networks cost effectively in support of 3G and 4G mobile broadband services while eliminating the need to keep costly E1/T1 circuits in place for reliable synchronization.”

Most operators deploying 3G and planning deployment of LTE plan to do so gradually and will therefore need to support 2G, 3G, LTE, and eventually also 4G, at the same cell site. This creates challenges in having to efficiently and cost effectively support the varying backhaul requirements of for instance multiple generations of NodeBs and eNodeBs, often for multiple operators at the same cell site. Transmode’s solution natively supports both legacy TDM and new Ethernet backhaul traffic over a single wavelength, while supporting up to 8 synchronization streams that can be either physical layer TDM synchronization, Synchronous Ethernet or packet synchronization. This simplifies making a gradual migration to 4G and the all-IP network and cost effectively scales to meet the fast growing traffic requirements of mobile data and multimedia traffic while providing operators with simplified OAM&P procedures. As a result, the operator gets a flexible, economic solution that resembles the Hybrid approach used by many of the microwave vendors. Therefore also providing the advantage of using a similar approach in both microwave and fiber based mobile access, leading to a more simplified access network and lower operational costs.

Dave Dunphy added “Achieving a business case that supports the profitable roll out of multimedia-intensive mobile broadband services for 3G and LTE requires migration from TDM toward the optimization of an all-IP network. Transmode’s solution offers a way to do that cleanly without sacrificing network performance or call quality.”

Sten Nordell, Transmode’s Chief Technology Officer, commented “This is an exciting development from Transmode and our initial discussions with mobile/fixed operators and network operators that offer wholesale services to mobile operators have been very encouraging. Pushing WDM technology right out to the cell site is the logical extension of our Multi-Service technology. By using our iWDM approach we are able to offer a unique solution that addresses the multiple synchronization domains issue that other solutions just can’t address”.

The Multi-Service Mobile Backhaul solution will be introduced in Q4 2009. For further details on this solution please see Transmode’s “Multi-Service Mobile Backhaul in 3 minutes” video, download the Application Note and White Paper.

I first learned about using the analyzer with iPhone projects from a blog post by Joe Heck of rhonabwy.com. Heck pointed out that the Intel-only analyzer worked with the Intel-based Simulator code generated by the iPhone SDK, letting you use the analyzer with your iPhone projects.
At that time, you had to download a copy of the analyzer, install it by hand, and run it from the command line. It was amazingly helpful but a bit of a pain to use.

No more. Xcode 3.2 incorporates the static analyzer tool directly into its IDE. Choose Build > Build and Analyze (Command-Shift-A) and the analyzer automatically checks your code. and presents any bugs detected by the analyzer. Static analysis evaluates source code to automatically find bugs, issuing hints that are similar in nature to compiler warnings but targeted at Foundation (Cocoa) and Core Foundation memory management.

Each bug is marked with a blue icon and a description. I do wish that the text didn’t seem to “cut off” so abruptly. Resizing the Xcode editor window does not affect the hard right alignment of the bug reports. This bug refers to the local watcher variable, which is allocated and initialized but not released.

The tool is not perfect. It may flag nonexistent “bugs” in programs, so there are definitely false positive results that will show up as well as gray areas. In this example, the watcher is used until the application teardown, so the fact that it’s leaking is not really a problem. That having been said, the analysis is amazingly helpful and if you do find real bugs, the Clang Static Analyzer team solicits bug reports.

To learn more about your bug, click the blue branch icon in the code itself. The analyzer offers a detailed view of the bug and its issues. This presentation provides more information about the specifics of the issue at hand.

In this detail view, clicking any single blue arrow opens the Build Results pane, showing the analyzer result list. Hide or show analyzer information by clicking the blue branch icon in the left gutter.

It’s easy to overlook the new built-in static analysis feature of Xcode 3.2, but you’d be missing out on a great feature if you didn’t explore it further.

Used to enable accurate power measurement in its PowerPro Analyzer tool, the technique performs sequential analysis of the entire design, delivering power measurement results that are significantly more accurate than the decade-old RTL power analysis tools in use today.

According to Tom Sandoval, CEO of Calypto, previous tools have been based on combinational analysis which limits the accuracy of switching activity propagation compared to the actual sequential circuit activity.

“Sequential analysis ensures switching activity propagation estimated by the tool closely correlates with real life circuit activity,” he said.

By dramatically improving RTL power analysis accuracy, he said PowerPro Analyzer will enable designers to finally move away from time-consuming, gate-level power analysis flows.

“These flows require designers to run complex gate-level simulations in order to provide the power analysis tool with accurate design behavior that emulates real-world functionality,” said Sandoval. “Running those same simulations at the RTL level improves efficiency by 10x, often reducing the overall power analysis task time from days to hours.

“Moreover, RTL-level simulation is part of the standard simulation regression method used by designers to verify their design.”

The RTL simulation results can be provided to Calypto’s PowerPro Analyzer without adding to design schedules.

“The inaccuracy of existing RTL power analysis tools has limited their adoption and forced the industry to continue using complex, schedule-extending, gate-level power analysis techniques,” said Sandoval.

Where older solutions use simplistic propagation engines that do not correlate with real circuit behavior, he said, Calypto’s sequential analysis-based propagation engines capture temporal and spatial correlations across registers that simply cannot be taken into account by obsolete, combinational analysis-based solutions.

Because clock trees consume a significant amount of power in a design, he said, understanding how to model a clock tree with a substantial amount of clock gating is critical to accurate RTL power analysis.

Calypto’s RTL power analysis capabilities have been integrated into a new version of PowerPro Analyzer, which can be used as a standalone tool for RTL power analysis in SoC design flows.

PowerPro Analyzer with block-level power analysis will be available in October and chip-level power analysis will be available in February 2010. The tool will be offered for a list price of $50,000.

PowerPro CG and PowerPro MG, RTL optimization tools based on sequential analysis, each list for $295,000 and include PowerPro Analyzer. PowerPro CG is an automated clock gating power optimization tool that reduces power by up to 60 percent with little or no impact to timing or area.

PowerPro MG is an automated memory power optimization solution that takes advantage of the low-power control options available in today’s on-chip memories to reduce both dynamic and leakage memory power with little or no impact to timing or area.

Two forms of debugging are needed for embedded systems. One is software-based, the other is hardware-centric. There has been a good deal of standardisation in both arenas.

Software-based debug has been moving to an open systems approach based on the Eclipse framework. Most software development tool companies now have plug-ins that allow their debugging tools to be part of an Eclipse-based IDE. The Tasking VX-toolset from Altium Ltd, for instance, allows integration within Eclipse as extended by Altium to support configuration options of the tools. Embedded tool companies are also joining the Eclipse Foundation, to help ensure that embedded tools play a big role in the further development of the Eclipse platform.

Standardised approach
The popularity of such plug-ins is prompting creation of a standardised approach to extending Eclipse, originally created for development of enterprise-level software, to include embedded and device-level software. One of the current initiatives, spearheaded by Wind River Systems, is the Device Software Development Platform (DSDP), an effort to encompass the myriad hardware-specific needs of embedded systems.

The DSDP initiative is working to overcome rigidity in the way Eclipse handles debug. The original Eclipse (3.1 and earlier) interface had a “target-process-thread” stack frame hierarchy that would alter the debug context when the debug view changed. The DSDP initiative provides adaptable interface layers, such as a content adapter, that serves as a bridge between the viewer and the debug model, allowing both content customisation and model-driven view content. This approach also supports customisation of the debugger for the target hardware’s specific configuration. The first steps toward implementing this approach appeared in the mid-2006 release of Eclipse (3.2) and are continually being refined.

On the hardware debug side, the method for looking inside the processor by in-circuit emulation and similar tools has shifted from custom probes with bond-out processors to built-in debugging. The standard interface for accessing this built-in capability is now the JTAG port, defined by IEEE Standard 1149.1.

The original purpose of JTAG was to examine the integrity of connections on a high-density PCB using hardware resources located inside each IC. Now, JTAG is being used as the access port for built-in software trace, the reading of internal processor registers, and even for onboard programming of memory and configurable logic.

Embedded software debug has linked itself to the Eclipse framework and is now finding ways to handle the hardware-specific customisation required by adding adapter software to the Eclipse debugger structure.

One of the emerging trends in the use of JTAG for hardware debugging is the ability to simultaneously control multiple devices through a single port. The definition of JTAG allows devices to be linked in a daisy-chain configuration so that a single controller could access all the devices on a board. In embedded development, however, tool vendors initially used the JTAG port for single-device access?the processor.

Modern system designs, however, now routinely use two or more processors. This has left developers with the need to connect individual tools to each processor and debug each virtually independently. The response in hardware tools is a growing ability to use the debugger probe with daisy-chained processors and control both simultaneously for more coordinated debugging. In addition, probes are increasingly able to access other hardware, such as memory, through the processor’s JTAG port.

The OCDemon probe family from Macraigor Systems is a recent example of this type of multifunction JTAG probe. The support software for the device configures it to control the target processors, providing control of processor operation and access to registers. It also, however, is able to control flash memory connected to the target processor. This ability allows a developer to both load software and test its execution with a single device and connection, speeding debug iterations.

Hardware debugging probes are using JTAG for processor interface and USB for the host computer interface, enabling wireless debugging.

The next evolution in hardware debugging is more than this type of simple capability extension, however, as it has the potential of altering where and how embedded system debugging can be accomplished. This will occur when JTAG hardware debugging, like virtually every other form of data transfer, goes wireless. Already the JTAG connection to the processor has moved from parallel ports to USB. It is only a short step from that to wireless USB or other wireless form.

Making the hardware debug connection wireless carries with it all the standard advantages: simplified connection access and elimination of cabling. It also raises new possibilities for maintenance and upgrading of systems in the field. The full capability of hardware debug and memory programming are already available through the JTAG port. Making the connection wireless will allow the performance of these functions in a deployed system without needing to crack open the case.

Depending on the type of wireless link implemented, an embedded system can be designed for on-site debug and maintenance through a laptop or even remote operation via a Wi-Fi link to the Internet. This expands maintenance options and opens possibilities, such as the gathering of event statistics for failure analysis or to determine use patterns to prompt design improvements.

Pryme Technologies has selected FiberLight, LLC, a leading optical network solutions provider, to provide the network backbone for high bandwidth transport from Pryme’s new 72,000-square-foot Colocation facility in Ashburn, Virginia, to FiberLight’s Ashburn point of presence (POP) at Equinix.

FiberLight’s underground fiber optic infrastructure, representing the largest privately owned fiber optic network in the greater Washington, D.C. metro area, is built with full redundancy, making it the logical provider of choice when Pryme began building a new, fully redundant, Tier III data center in Ashburn, Virginia.

“This data center has been specifically designed to meet customer needs for diversity, flexibility, and service, without investing additional capital,” said Bart Rogers, Pryme Technologies Vice President of Sales and Business Development. “We feel FiberLight offers secure, reliable and scalable network solutions our customers require. FiberLight’s carrier-neutral status will enable us to serve all customers regardless of specific carrier needs.”

The fiber optic connection to Pryme’s Data Center further solidifies FiberLight’s strong footprint in Northern Virginia, while providing Pryme’s customers with access options to FiberLight’s 400-mile private metro network connecting Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland.

“This partnership opportunity is a win-win for both companies as it allows us to extend our footprint while providing Pryme’s customer base with state-of-the-art SONET, Ethernet, Wavelengths, IP and private network solutions in a carrier-neutral environment,” said Ben Edmond, FiberLight EVP of Sales and Marketing. “We maintain multiple operational offices in the greater D.C. market including one in Herndon, Virginia and provide 24-by-7 monitoring through two fully redundant NOCs, which gives Pryme customers added security to transport mission-critical data for data storage and applications.”

With the changing life styles, people tend to get social on those social networksa lot recently. This madness started with MySpace years ago, and now it is growing with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Orkut and many others. And they become powerful tools who seek to market their activities/products on internet. For this reason, Xeltek strongly recommends you to become a part of those networks and get into close relation with your prospects, and benefit those free tools to create a marketing environment for your products/services.

Q1. Tell us about Tekelec product offerings for the Indian market?

Ans: Tekelec is strategically positioned on the Signaling System 7 (SS7) layer, and has the largest global market share of SS7 signal transfer point (STP) shipments. Our SS7 expertise means that we are able to streamline SMS processes, as well as the ‘back end’ operational processes. We have also recently acquired companies such as mobile messaging provider mBalance to strengthen our product portfolio, including SMS offload/spam filtering.

Therefore, if you look at the high-level products, we have SSTP (secure socket tunneling protocol, for Low speed/High Speed, SIGTRAN and now SIP), giving operators a complete range of solutions to meet present and future technology rollouts – a must-have if mobile penetration rates in India continue to grow at a rapid pace . On top of this, the monitoring capability of our platforms acts as a very strong business tool and SLA (service level agreement) management tool for operators.

Tekelec is also the market leader in real-time connection number portability solutions – with 35 percent market share – and hence we are in a very strong position to meet Indian operators’ needs. Since we are already in the signaling networks for 5 of the top 7 Indian operators, it becomes a logical evolution for these operators to transit to mobile number portability (MNP) on our platform.

In terms of availability, all of these products are available across all our global clients, and customized to the regional needs.

Q2. Please provide us more insight into the value chain of delivery of SMS services with respect to the technological infrastructure required.

The Forum has been set up as a Public Private Entity and it is believed that it will lead to improved competitiveness within companies and creating more conducive investor-friendly environment in the country.

The idea of setting up such a Forum has been derived from developed countries which have similar standard development organizations. India until now followed standards created by other countries for some R&D activities. Normally ITU standards come in handy but the same are not available for all the technological solutions developed especially the newly launched innovations.

Prof Ramjee Prasad who has devised the idea of setting up such a Forum in India says, “GISFI will lead towards the growth of India scientifically, financially and industrially and this is the first step to bring India on the Global Map.”

Sachin Pilot, Minister of State for Communications and IT comments, “Government supports GISFI’s initiatives and I am sure that this initiative would bring India to newer heights setting high standards globally.”

Henceforth GISFI will provide a platform for discussion related to standardization and upon reaching consensus among all the bodies, GISFI will appropriately frame the draft standards under ‘GISFI Standard’ before forwarding it to appropriate national body for acceptance.

Trials on new technological innovations are expected to fasten up post launch of the Forum.

PVF augments the Visual Studio debugger by adding a Fortran language specific custom debug engine. The PVF debug engine supports debugging of single- and multi-thread, OpenMP, multi-thread MSMPI and hybrid MSMPI+OpenMP Fortran applications. It enables debugging of 64-bit or 32-bit applications using source code or assembly code, and provides full access to the registers and hardware state of the processors. Other new multi-process MSMPI capabilities in PVF 9.0 include Visual Studio property pages for configuring compile-time options, launching applications either locally on a workstation or on a distributed-memory Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster system, and debugging of programs running either locally or on a cluster.

“PVF 9.0 is a big step forward in ease-of-use for HPC Fortran programmers porting applications to or developing applications for Windows workstations, servers and clusters,” said Douglas Miles, director, The Portland Group. “For Windows Fortran users looking to leverage the power of Windows HPC Server 2008 clusters, the ability to cover all aspects of MPI and parallel Fortran application development from within the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE can simplify their work considerably.

“The majority of HPC applications are still written in Fortran and parallelized using MPI and OpenMP,” said Vince Mendillo, Director, Technical Computing Marketing, Microsoft. “By including MSMPI job launch and debugging support within PGI Visual Fortran, PGI has further enhanced the Windows HPC Server 2008 ecosystem and simplified porting of HPC applications to Windows clusters.”

Additional new features in PVF 9.0 include support for Intel Core i7 (Nehalem) and Six-Core AMD Opteron (Istanbul) processors, several incremental Fortran 2003 features, improvements in serial debugging and disassembly speed, and completely updated documentation and online help.

PGI Visual Fortran is compatible with both the current version of Visual Studio, Visual Studio 2008, and the previous version, Visual Studio 2005.

PGI Release 9.0 is the first general release to include support for the high-level PGI Accelerator(TM) programming model on x64 processor-based Linux systems incorporating NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs. Announced last month, the PGI Release 9.0 line of high-performance parallelizing compilers and development tools for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows is now available.

Cybercriminals are like most business types, preferring not to rely on chance. Enter Clampi, a piece of malware that’s capable of recognizing 4,500 financial Web portals. To be honest, I didn’t know that many different banking Web sites even existed. Anyway, it looks like the cybercriminals improved their odds.

How does Clampi work

Like most trojan malware, Clampi has multiple attack vectors at its disposal. It’s my understanding the two most popular infestation techniques involve an e-mail attachment or a drive-by dropper application buried in a malicious Web site. After that, Clampi embeds its malware package in the operating system and the following happens:

* The malcode begins to monitor every Web browsing session.
* If the person using the computer happens to visit one of the 4,500 financial Web sites recognized by Clampi, things start to happen.
* Clampi activates its key logger, capturing username, password, PIN, and any other information used to gain access to the financial Web site.
* At predetermined times, Clampi connects to a specified command and control server, downloading any information that it was able to harvest.

What happens after that is obvious and something that I’d like to see everyone avoid. We all work too hard for our money.

What makes Clampi different

One thing that makes Clampi different is its success. Exact numbers are difficult to obtain, but researchers are confident that the number of computers infected with Clampi exceed 100,000. Gregg Keizer of ComputerWorld in a recent post explained why Clampi is so successful:

“The packing that Clampi uses is very sophisticated, and makes it difficult to reverse engineer. They’re using virtual machine-based packers that lets them take code from a virtual CPU instruction set, so that the next time it’s packed, it’s completely different. You can’t look at Clampi with a conventional tool, like a debugger. It’s a real mess to follow, frankly.”

Real-world example

Brian Krebs of the Washington Post recently broke a story of how Clampi helped cybercriminals steal nearly $75,000 from Slack Auto Parts of Gainesville, Georgia:

“The company controller’s PC had been infected with an extremely stealthy Trojan horse program called “Clampi”. The expert determined that the keystroke logging Trojan had resided on the company’s systems for more than a year before being used by the attackers.”

Final thoughts

Both reports went on to say that normal anti-virus applications could not spot Clampi. It seems only high-end scanners similar to MBAM are finding it. Ultimately, the best defense for combating malware of Clampi’s sophistication is to make sure your computer is up-to-date.

Many are taking this as a sign that this company may finally be planning a followup to the HTC Universal — a device that was years ahead of its time.

Like the older model, the HTC Leo will supposedly offer a very impressive feature set in a clamshell design. This starts off with dual displays — an external QVGA one, and an internal WVGA Touchscreen (16:9 aspect ratio).

This model will allegedly have support for Open GL 2.0, indicating that it will have a high-end processor, possibly even the 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. This isn’t impossible, as this company’s other ultra-high-end model, the HTC Thoth — is also expected to run on the Snapdragon processor.

Smartphone or MID?
Exactly what product classification the Leo will fall in is a matter of opinion.

Judging from similar devices HTC has put out in the past, this model will have all the features of a smartphone, but in a package too large to make a convenient phone.

To many, this will push it up into the MID (mobile Internet device) category.

A Warning from the HTC Omni
The Leo isn’t exactly the first follow-up to the Universal. Back in 2007, there were persistent leaks about the HTC Omni, another clamshell MID running Windows Mobile — but the Omni was never released.

Instead, this company decided to drop the clamshell design and put out the Athena series, which use a tablet shape with a clip-on keyboard. The upcoming Thoth will supposedly be part of this product line.

HTC may be planning to return to the clamshell shape with the Leo, but it would be a change in a strategy that this company has followed for several years.

The ARM Cortex-M3 is an implementation of the ARM7v architecture, the latest evolution of ARM’s embedded cores. It is a Harvard architecture, using separate buses for instructions and data (rather than a von Neumann architecture, where data and instructions share a bus). The Harvard architecture is intrinsically significantly faster but physically more complex. With Moore’s Law, the complexity is not such a significant issue and the increase in throughput is valuable. The Cortex-M3 is aimed by ARM at the deeply embedded market. It is designed to be low cost and low power and to provide good performance for the cost and power. ARM sees it as particularly suited to automotive and wireless communications applications. As with all ARM designs, the company licenses the design to manufacturers that produce their own implementation, and already a number of manufacturers have committed to producing microcontrollers based on the Cortex-M3. The first of these companies was Luminary Micro (acquired by Texas Instruments), which is shipping devices with volume pricing at less than $1 (Figure 1).

There is a developing ecosystem of development tools and system software evolving from the ARM7TDMI ecosystem and anticipating further manufacturers entering the area. The other ARM core aimed at the same market is the ARM7TDMI (and ARM7TDMIS). This core has been around for more than 10 years. Many manufacturers (ARM claims more than 16) are selling families of microcontrollers based on ARM7 cores and the ecosystem of software and development and debugging tools is impressive. The ARM7TDMI is, in many ways, the workhorse of the embedded world.

As well as using the Harvard Architecture, the Cortex-M3 has other significant differences. It is a smaller basic core, reducing price and increasing speed. Integrated with the core are system peripherals, such as the interrupt controller, bus matrix, and debug functionality, which would normally be added by the microcontroller implementer. It has an integrated sleep mode and the option of an integral eight-region Memory Protection Unit. It is designed for the THUMB-2 Instruction set and reduces assembler usage to a minimum instruction set.

While the ARM7 implements both the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, the Cortex-M3 supports only the Thumb-2 instruction set. The Thumb-2 instruction set does not require the system to switch state between Thumb and ARM code, which reduces performance with earlier processors. Thumb-2 is designed specifically to implement C and includes an If/Then construct (predicating conditional execution of the next four instructions), hardware division, and native bitfield manipulation. Thumb-2 allows designers to maintained and modified applications at the level of the C code; it includes functionality that would normally require calling assembler level code (Luminary Micro claims that there is no need ever to drop into assembly language). These advantages add up to easier implementation and possibly faster time to market for new products.

Another innovation on the Cortex-M3 is the Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC). Unlike external interrupt controllers, as are used in ARM7TDMI implementations, this is integrated into the Cortex M3 core and can be configured by the silicon implementer to provide from a basic 32 physical interrupts with eight levels of pre-emption priority up to 240 physical interrupts and 256 levels of priority. The design is deterministic with low latency, making it particularly applicable to automotive applications.

The NVIC uses a stack-based exception model. Program counter, program status register, link register, and general-purpose registers are all pushed on to the stack to handle the interrupt, and once interrupt processing is completed, the registers are restored. Stack handling is in hardware, so there is no longer a need to create assembler wrappers for stack manipulation for interrupt service routines.

Interrupts can be nested. An interrupt can exert a higher priority for earlier servicing, and priority levels can be changed during run time. Using a technique of tail-chaining, successive interrupts takes only three cycles, compared with 32 needed for a successive stack pop and push, which reduces latency and increases performance. If the NVIC is stacking (pushing) when an interrupt of higher priority arrives, fetching a new vector address is all that is needed to service the higher-priority one. Similarly, the NVIC will abandon a pop to service a new interrupt. This also achieves lower latency and is completely deterministic.

To generate regular time intervals for interrupts, the NVIC has an integrated System Tick timer, which can also be used as a heartbeat for scheduled tasks or for an RTOS. This means that there is no need for an external clock, unlike previous ARM architectures. The Cortex-M3 power-management scheme supports Sleep Now, Sleep on Exit (from exiting the lowest-priority ISR), and SLEEPDEEP modes, through the NVIC.

The memory protection unit is an implementation option. When implemented it allows areas of memory to be associated with specific processes in the application with rules governing access by other processes. For example, some memory can be totally blocked for all other processes, while other areas can be read-only for specific other processes. Another rule could halt execution if a process attempts to enter a memory area. This provides a significant improvement in reliability, particularly in real- time code.

The integrated debug and trace Debug Access Port can be implemented as either a two-pin Serial Wire Debug Port or a Serial Wire JTAG Debug Port. In association with the Flash Patch and Breakpoint unit, the Data Watchpoint and Trace unit, the implementation option of the Embedded Trace Macrocell and the Instrumentation Trace Macrocell, it is possible to carry out debug and monitoring functions within the core. It is possible to set breakpoints, watchpoints, define fault conditions, or carry out debug requests, and either halt operations or continue while monitoring. All of these facilities have been available in ARM architectures, but the Cortex-M3 pulls them together in a standard package for the developer.

While the ARM7 cores do not have such deeply integrated peripherals as the Cortex family, there is range of ARM7-based devices with an even larger range of peripherals, shading from general-purpose microcontrollers, through to application-oriented microcontrollers, SoCs, and even an ARM7 core in an FPGA from Actel. There are around 150 different microcontrollers based on the ARM7 (and that number can be even higher, depending on how you count versions).

For almost every application in the embedded space it is possible to find an ARM7 implementation that has been customized, to some degree or other, to meet the requirements. To the standard core the implementer adds different memory types and sizes and other peripherals, such as serial interfaces, bus controllers, memory controllers, and graphics units. They use a range of packaging types and for industrial, automotive, and other demanding applications, provide extended temperature range versions. They may also bundle software, such as TCP/IP stacks or even application-specific software.

For example, the STR7 product line (from STMicroelectronics) has three major families, with a total of 45 members with variants in packaging and memory. Each family has a different peripheral set aimed at specific applications—for example, the STR730 family is designed for industrial and automotive applications so is available in an extended temperature range and includes multiple I/O and 3 CAN interfaces, while the STR710 is aimed at consumer, point-of-sale, and high-end industrial applications and has multiple communication interfaces, including USB, CAN, ISO7816 and four UART, large memory and an external memory interface.

Implementers also choose to add help for developers, for example, by implementing ARM’s Embedded Trace Macrocells (ETM) and by supplying development and debug tools (Figure 2). By contrast, the number of companies shipping Cortex-M3-based products is limited, although other companies have announced their intention to produce products.

Tools

The ubiquity of the ARM7 has led to an explosion in third-party products for developing and debugging applications. The ARM Web site lists more than 130 companies, and other companies are also serving this market.

Most manufacturers provide a basic development board, housing the device and providing interfaces to load programs, attach debugging tools and drive peripherals. It will include a status display of LEDs or a single line screen. Normally the board is packaged as part of a kit with a compiler and some debugging software. More advanced kits, including those from third parties, will include a full integrated development environment (IDE) with a compiler, linker, debugger, editor, and other tools. They may also include hardware, such as JTAG probes to connect the JTAG port on the device to the PC. In-Circuit Emulators (ICEs), one of the earliest and most useful forms of debugging tools, are available with ARM7 interfacing, from a range of manufacturers.

Software development tools range from modeling and visual design front-ends through to compilers. Application modules and middleware sit on top of real-time operating systems (RTOS) for rapid development, and more of these are coming to the market. And, perhaps more important, there is a huge base of experienced ARM7 developers.

There is an emerging tools base for the Cortex-M3, but obviously this has still some distance to go. However, the integrated debug in the Cortex-M3 will make system bring-up and debug much easier and more efficient and removes the need for In-Circuit Emulators (ICEs).

So, which do you choose today? If cost is an absolute driver for you, consider choosing the Cortex-M3. If you are looking for better performance and improved power at low cost, you might again consider the Cortex-M3, particularly if the application is in the areas that ARM sees as primary targets—automotive and wireless. The integrated elements within the core and the Thumb-2 instruction set should make developing and debugging on the Cortex-M3 easier and faster than the ARM7TDMI.

The drawback at the moment is that there are a limited number of suppliers. However, many of the companies with ARM7-based devices are working on Cortex-M3 designs, and it would be worthwhile talking to suppliers to get a feeling for timescales and implementation details.

But as retargeting an application from the ARM7TDMI is not difficult, particularly when using an RTOS, the conservative route may be to use a device with an ARM7TDMI core for now but ensure that design and implementation do not use features that will make retargeting more complex.

A ferocious piece of malware that’s infected up to a million PCs is stealing a “tremendous” amount of financial information from consumers and businesses that log on to their bank, stock broker, credit card, insurance, job hunting and favorite e-shopping sites, a noted botnet researcher said today.

“Clampi is the most professional thieving pieces of malware I’ve ever seen,” said Joe Stewart, director of malware research for SecureWorks’ counter-threat unit. “We know of few others that are this sophisticated and wide-ranging. It’s having a real impact on users.”

The Clampi Trojan horse has infected anywhere between 100,000 and 1 million Windows PCs, said Stewart — “We don’t have a good way of counting at this point,” he acknowledged — and targets the user credentials of 4,500 Web sites.

That’s an astounding number, said Stewart, who has identified 1,400 of the 4,500 total. “There are plenty of other banking Trojans out there, but they usually target just 20 or 30 sites.”

Hackers sneak Clampi onto PCs by duping a user into opening an e-mailed file attachment or by using a multi-exploit toolkit that tries attack code for several different Windows vulnerabilities, Stewart said. Once on a machine, the Trojan monitors Web sessions, and if the PC owner browses to one of the 4,500 sites, it captures usernames, passwords, PINs and other personal information used to log on to those sites, or to fill out forms.

Periodically, Clampi “phones home” the hijacked information to a command-and-control server run by the hackers, who then empty bank or broker accounts, purchase goods using stolen credit card information or simply compile it for future use, said Stewart.

Although that describes most key-logging or spying malware, Stewart said Clampi is different, both because of the obvious scale of its operation and because of the multiple layers of encryption and deception used by its makers to cloak the attack code and make it nearly impossible for researchers to investigate its workings.

Stewart started tracking Clampi in 2007, but began an intensive examination earlier this year. “The packing that Clampi uses is very sophisticated, and makes it really, really difficult to reverse engineer, said Stewart. “I’d say this is the most difficult piece of malware I’ve ever seen to reverse engineer.” Security researchers often will reverse engineer malware — pulling it apart to try to decipher how it works — during their investigations.

“They’re using virtual machine-based packers that lets them take code from a virtual CPU instruction set, so that the next time it’s packed, it’s completely different,” said Stewart. “You can’t look at Clampi with a conventional tool, like a debugger. It’s a real mess to follow, frankly.”

The Trojan also encrypts the traffic between hijacked systems and the botnet command-and-control server using multiple methods, said Stewart. Not only is the network communications traffic encrypted in 448-bit blowfish encryption, but the strings inside the attack code binaries are also encrypted. Clampi also uses another unusual tactic to hide from antivirus scanners; its modules — there are anywhere from four to seven different pieces of the malware — are stored as encrypted “blobs” in the Windows registry.

The sheer scope of the Clampi operation also separates it from run-of-the-mill financial malware, Stewart argued. “They’re targeting not just banking sites, but a wide variety of sites where people put in credentials that help them steal money somehow,” said Stewart. Among the 1,400 site he has identified are military information portals, mortgage, insurance, online casino, utility advertising networks and news sites. The sites are hosted in 70 different countries.

“That, in itself, speaks to a vast operation on the back end,” Stewart said.

It’s impossible to say for certain, but all clues point to Russia or Eastern Europe as the base for the criminal gang riding herd on the Clampi botnet. “It looks like it’s just one group behind it,” said Stewart. “We don’t see [chatter about it] on the usual underground forums, which is one reason why there’s little or no coverage about Clampi up till now. It’s very closely held, and the group is very secretive.”

In fact, Stewart held out little hope of nailing the criminals behind Clampi. The command-and-control servers they use to direct the hijacked PCs — and to receive the stolen usernames and passwords — are not hosted by a commercial hosting service, but instead are hidden within individual compromised PCs. “I don’t think we’ll ever get the command-and-control servers,” Stewart admitted.

One victim of a Clampi infection, and resulting theft, that has come forward is Slack Auto Parts, in Gainesville, Ga., which was robbed of nearly $75,000, according to a story last week in the Washington Post. The co-owner of the company, Henry Slack, told the newspaper that the malware ripped off log-on information for the firm’s bank accounts, then managed to move the money to multiple money “mules” across the U.S.

Clampi had been on a Slack PC for more than a year before the bot’s controllers used the information gathered to pillage the company’s bank account.

One way for businesses — and users — to stymie this ultra-stealthy Trojan, said Stewart, is to do any financial tasks on an isolated, dumbed-down PC that is used only to connect to banks, brokers and the like. That advice works because Clampi spreads most efficiently on company networks. If it manages to infect one PC inside an organization, it uses a Windows SysInternals tool dubbed “PsExec” made by Microsoft to copy the Trojan to all the machines on the domain.

“Clampi can spread across Microsoft networks in a worm-like fashion,” said Stewart. “Forget things like Conficker. You’d better rank this [botnet] up there right at the top.”

“This package integrates the ‘F5’ experience of launching the Visual Studio 2008 MPI Cluster Debugger and your Windows HPC Server 2008 environment, for a better and more integrated debugging experience. This package provides a new tool window from which you can specify on which nodes the debugging will take place on the cluster. Once your break points are set and the debugger settings are specified you only have to press ‘F5’ to launch the debugger. Pressing ‘F5’ deploys your application binaries and the remote debugger, and submits a job to the scheduler. When the job is scheduled the MPI processes start under the control of the remote debugger,” revealed Microsoft Evangelist Volker Will.

Microsoft stated that, in order to benefit from a more integrated debugging experience between the Visual Studio 2008 MPI Cluster Debugger and the Windows HPC Server 2008 environment, developers would need to have deployed HPC Pack 2008 software development kit, the HPC Pack 2008 / Windows HPC Server 2008 based cluster and Visual Studio 2008. According to the Redmond company the package also brings to the table a project template for C/C++ MPI programs.

“Download the MPI Cluster Debugger launch integration package to the same machine where you are developing using Visual Studio. Close Visual Studio. Install the package by double clicking on the icon. When you start Visual Studio the debugger configuration tool window is available by clicking Tools->Cluster Debugger Configuration,” Microsoft explained.

GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of these) to help you catch bugs in the act:

* Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior.
* Make your program stop on specified conditions.
* Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped.
* Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about another.

The program being debugged can be written in Ada, C, C++, Objective-C, Pascal (and many other languages). Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native) or on another machine (remote). GDB can run on most popular UNIX and Microsoft Windows variants.

When the program crashes, the debugger shows the position in the original code if it is a source-level debugger or symbolic debugger, commonly seen in integrated development environments. If it is a low-level debugger or a machine-language debugger it shows the line in the disassembly. (A “crash” happens when the program cannot continue because of a programming bug. For example, perhaps the program tried to use an instruction not available on the current version of the CPU or attempted access to unavailable or protected memory.)

Typically, debuggers also offer more sophisticated functions such as running a program step by step (single-stepping), stopping (breaking) (pausing the program to examine the current state) at some kind of event by means of breakpoint, and tracking the values of some variables. Some debuggers have the ability to modify the state of the program while it is running, rather than merely to observe it.

The importance of a good debugger cannot be overstated. Indeed, the existence and quality of such a tool for a given language and platform can often be the deciding factor in its use, even if another language/platform is better-suited to the task. However, it is also important to note that software can (and often does) behave differently running under a debugger than normally, due to the inevitable changes the presence of a debugger will make to a software program’s internal timing. As a result, even with a good debugging tool, it is often very difficult to track down runtime problems in complex multi-threaded or distributed systems.

The same functionality which makes a debugger useful for eliminating bugs allows it to be used as a software cracking tool to evade copy protection, digital rights management, and other software protection features.

Most mainstream debugging engines, such as gdb and dbx provide console-based command line interfaces. Debugger front-ends are popular extensions to debugger engines that provide IDE integration, animation, and visualization features.

This situation compels you to reconcile a clash of two goods: increasing your employer’s productivity and protecting an employee’s job. The way to do that is not by discouraging people from coming up with good ideas but by seeing that the company rewards – or at least does not penalize – those who help improve its operations. And so your next step is to discuss this situation with higher-ups and urge them to establish such policies.

A company rightly seeks gains in efficiency – without them it is unlikely to vie with creative competitors – and such gains can mean that it needs fewer employees. But it would be grotesque to encourage employees to innovate and then, when they do, have a couple of goons rough them up and give them the old heave-ho. Even without the goons, it is not ethical to punish someone for doing just what you want (and urge) him to do. Someone who comes up with a useful idea should expect a bonus, not a pink slip. A management strategy that fires the most resourceful workers bears reconsidering.

All who contribute to the success of a venture should share in its rewards. At a minimum, the company must guarantee the job of so effective and dedicated an employee, perhaps shifting him or her to another position or cutting staff through attrition. If the company declines to take such steps, then you should give your coworkers an honest account of the possible consequences of their request.

A coworker gave me a mountain bike a couple of years ago. (It belonged to an ex-boyfriend and was too big for her.) Now I am moving overseas and want to sell it. Should I give her some – or even all – of the proceeds? The bike’s value is not great, but I really could use the money. – E.M., New York

Here’s the first consideration: Is the bike actually hers to give, or is it the property of her ex-boyfriend? You don’t want an angry ex coming after you. Or maybe you don’t care. He’ll be on foot; you can swiftly pedal away, mocking him for his busted romance and low-quality bike (albeit a bike that beats walking).

If it is hers to give, you may sell it without sharing the proceeds. Your coworker gave you the bike, no strings attached: It’s yours to do with as you like. I would feel different if you had misled her about your intentions, claiming to want a bike for transportation but plotting to chop it up and sell it on the lucrative scrap-metal market. Having ridden the bike for two years, you met her expectations, and the bicycle is yours. Ethics does not compel you to make it a family heirloom, passing it down from generation to generation, into the distant future, when the cool kids are riding those antigravity skycycles.

Though you are not required to send her any money, you should do so anyway, meeting kindness with kindness. A 50-50 split would leave her feeling good, all the more for its being unexpected, and encourage further acts of generosity.

Update: E.M. sold the bike on Craigslist for $75 to “a pair of nice young Tibetan students” and moved to Istanbul. He did not share the money with his coworker and “is tinged with slight feelings of guilt.”

The UDDI Project is an initiative that communicates with the public through www.uddi.org. The UDDI Community runs the UDDI Project. The Community consists of a group of Working Group members who develop the specifications and Advisory Group members who provide requirements and review the specifications. The Working Group is an invitation-based group and the Advisory Group is open to everyone.

Web services are becoming the basis for electronic commerce of all forms. Companies invoke the services of other companies to accomplish a business transaction. In an environment in which only a few companies participate, managing the discovery of business partners manually would be simple. After all, how difficult would it be to figure out if one of your few business partners has an access point that adheres to your requirements? This model breaks down, however, as the number of companies that you need to interact with grows, along with the number and types of interfaces they export. How do you discover all the business partners that you can do business with? If you attempted to account for them manually, you could never be sure that you discovered every partner. UDDI is a single conceptual registry distributed among many nodes that replicate the participating businesses’ data with one another. The UDDI registry of services (hosted by different businesses on the Internet) attempts to solve this problem.

This chapter presents an overview of UDDI and how to put it to work. It includes a discussion about the information stored in a UDDI registry, the different potential uses of UDDI, and its technical architecture; the specifications that comprise the UDDI effort, with a focus on their relevance to developers and a list of different Java approaches for programming with UDDI; and an introduction to interacting with a UDDI registry programmatically. The following sections cover the UDDI data structures and XML APIs available for accessing a registry.

UDDI Overview

Prior to the UDDI project, no industry-wide approach was available for businesses to reach their customers and partners with information about their products and web services. Nor was there a uniform method that detailed how to integrate the systems and processes that are already in place at and between business partners. Nothing attempted to cover both the business and development aspects of publishing and locating information associated with a piece of software on a global scale.

Conceptually, a business can register three types of information into a UDDI registry. The specification does not call out these types specifically, but they provide a good summary of what UDDI can store for a business:

White pages
Basic contact information and identifiers about a company, including business name, address, contact information, and unique identifiers such as D-U-N-S numbers or tax IDs. This information allows others to discover your web service based upon your business identification.
Yellow pages
Information that describes a web service using different categorizations (taxonomies). This information allows others to discover your web service based upon its categorization (such as being in the manufacturing or car sales business).
Green pages
Technical information that describes the behaviors and supported functions of a web service hosted by your business. This information includes pointers to the grouping information of web services and where the web services are located.

How UDDI Is Used

UDDI has several different uses, based on the perspective of who is using it. From a business analyst’s perspective, UDDI is similar to an Internet search engine for business processes. Typical search engines, such as AskJeeves, organize and index URLs for web sites. However, a business exporting a web service needs to expose much more than a simple URL. A business analyst can browse one or more UDDI registries to view the different businesses that expose web services and the specifications of those services. However, business users probably won’t browse a UDDI registry directly, since the information stored within it is not necessarily reader friendly. A series of marketplaces and business search portals could crop up to provide business analysts with a more user-oriented approach to browsing the services and businesses hosted in a UDDI registry.

Software developers use the UDDI Programmer’s API to publish services (i.e., put information about them in the registry) and query the registry to discover services matching various criteria. It is conceivable that software will eventually discover a service dynamically and use it without requiring human interaction.

TIP: Even though the API provided by UDDI allows random searching for businesses, it’s not feasible for a program to select new business partners dynamically. Realistically, it’s more likely that business analysts with specific knowledge of the problem at hand will use UDDI portals to discover potentially interesting services and partners, and technologists will write programs to use the services from companies that have already been discovered. We’ll probably see programs that update the data in a UDDI registry, but most publicly available registries already have a user-friendly interface that allows human users to update information in a registry.

Even though the registries have human-friendly interfaces for direct access, humans should never have to interface with a repository directly. The web service tool you use should automate interaction with a UDDI registry. For example, if you use a tool that creates a web service, that tool should be able to not only deploy the web service into production, but add it to the UDDI registry for you on your behalf.

Both business analysts and software developers can publish new business entities and services. Business analysts can use portals attached directly to a particular UDDI server or to a more general search portal that supports UDDI. Figure 6-1 depicts the relationship between business analysts and technologists.

Technical Architecture

Figure 6-2 depicts the makeup of the UDDI project. The UDDI Business Registry (UBR), also known as the Public Cloud, is a conceptually single system built from multiple nodes that has their data synchronized through replication. A series of operator nodes each hosts a copy of the content. The global grouping of operator nodes is jointly known as the UBR. Operator nodes replicate content among one another. Accessing any individual operator node provides the same information and quality of service as any other operator node. Content inserted into the UBR is done at a single node, and that operator node becomes the master owner of that content. Any subsequent updates or deletes of the data must occur at the operator node where the data was inserted.

Note that the scope of the UDDI project is much more than the UBR; a company can provide a private operator node that is not part of the UBR. Private nodes do not have data synchronized with the UBR, so the information contained within is distinct. A grouping of companies can also create a “private cloud” of nodes that have information replicated between their private nodes, but that replication sequence will not have any interaction with the UBR nodes.

The UBR has widely accessible inquiry services, but services may be published only by authenticated entities. Any business can create an operator node and make it available over the Internet and part of the UBR. Private operator nodes can define the access rules for their nodes on a case-by-case basis. They can follow the same model as the UBR or make the restrictions looser or tighter.

Companies will likely set up private UDDI nodes. Even though use of these nodes will probably be limited in the near future, quite a few companies are showing interest in setting up private registries for internal or B2B operations. Industry groups are also discussing options for meeting the demands of their individual sector.

Many products have either been created or are being expanded to allow companies to create their own public and private UDDI registries. For example, BEA WebLogic Server and IBM WebSphere both intend to ship a fully compliant UDDI Server embedded within the application server sometime in 2002. Other companies, such as Systinet, HP, Oracle, SAP, Cape Clear, The Mind Electric, and Silverstream, have created J2EE-compliant UDDI implementations that work with existing application servers, including Tomcat, BEA, and IBM. Microsoft has an implementation based upon .NET. Additionally, two open source J2EE UDDI projects are in development: Bowstreet’s jUDDI (http://www.juddi.org) and JP Moresmau’s pudding (http://www.opensorcerer.org).

UDDI Specifications and Java-Based APIs

This section discusses the different specifications that make up the UDDI initiative and the options available to developers writing Java programs that interact with a UDDI registry.
UDDI Specifications

The UDDI project also defines a set of XML Schema definitions that describe the data formats used by the various specification APIs. These documents are all available for download at http://www.uddi.org. The UDDI project releases their specifications in unison. The current version of all specification groups is Version 2.0. The specifications include:

UDDI replication
This document describes the data replication processes and interfaces to which a registry operator must conform to achieve data replication between sites. This specification is not a programmer’s API; it defines the replication mechanism used among UBR nodes.
UDDI operators
This document outlines the behavior and operational parameters required by UDDI node operators. This specification defines data management requirements to which operators must adhere. For example, node operators are responsible for durable recording and backup of all data, ensuring that each business registration has a valid email address associated with it, and the integrity of the data during deletions (e.g., deleting a business means that all of its service entries must also be deleted). This document is not a programmer’s API and private registries are not required to support it.
UDDI Programmer’s API
This specification defines a set of functions that all UDDI registries support for inquiring about services hosted in a registry and for publishing information about a business or a service to a registry. This specification defines a series of SOAP messages containing XML documents that a UDDI registry accepts, parses, and responds to. This specification, along with the UDDI XML API schema and the UDDI Data Structure specification, makes up a complete programming interface to a UDDI registry.
UDDI data structures
This specification covers the specifics of the XML structures contained within the SOAP messages defined by the UDDI Programmer’s API. This specification defines five core data structures and their relationships to one another.

The UDDI XML API schema is not contained in a specification; rather, it is stored as an XML Schema document that defines the structure and datatypes of the UDDI data structures.
Java-Based APIs

The UDDI specifications do not directly define a Java-based API for accessing a UDDI registry. The Programmer’s API specification only defines a series of SOAP messages that a UDDI registry can accept. Thus, a Java developer who wishes to access a UDDI registry can do so in a number of ways:

Using a Java-based SOAP API
A Java programmer can use an API that creates SOAP messages containing a UDDI XML document. The Java programmer would be have to create each XML document by hand and insert this document into the body of each SOAP message. This approach would require that a developer understand the ordering of the SOAP messages that a UDDI registry accepts and format each SOAP message properly.
Using a custom Java-based UDDI client API
Some companies, such as Systinet, have created client APIs for accessing a UDDI registry. These APIs have classes and constructs that represent the data structures and messages supported by UDDI. These APIs also allow you to interact with a UDDI registry without knowing the specifics of SOAP or the XML messages and data structures that UDDI interacts with. These custom libraries work with any UDDI registry, so you can use Systinet’s library to access Microsoft’s UBR node.
Using JAXR
The JAXR specification defines a standardized way for Java programs to access a registry. JAXR allows developers to write code that can access several different registries, including UDDI and the ebXML Registry/Repository. JAXR’s programming constructs don’t mimic those used by UDDI, but this API gives you a common way to access a variety of different registry types, whereas a custom Java-based UDDI client API can access only a UDDI registry. The trade-off for portability is dealing with the additional layer of abstraction required by JAXR. JAXR is currently in an early preview release

To get you up to speed with UDDI, this chapter presents a simple UDDI example implemented three times–one time for each technique. Apache SOAP is used to develop a client that uses a Java-based SOAP API, Systinet WASP UDDI Client Package demonstrates a custom Java-based UDDI client API, and a JAXR client shows how JAXR’s abstract approach looks to the developer. However, as more details of UDDI are explained, the examples use the Apache SOAP implementation because it allows us to focus on the details of XML and UDDI.

In the next installment, learn to do UDDI programming.

hed.chip is a truly universal device programmer. The selection of programmable devices is oriented towards the needs of the developer, and is continuously being updated. In addition to the actual device memory, hed.chip also programs special features such as the Security Fuse of programmable logic devices, Lock Bits of microcontrollers, and the Software Data Protection found in FLASH and EEPROM.

* DIL40 test socket for small and large ICs
* connects to the parallel port
* connects to a standard 12V/800mA AC adapter
* dimensions: aluminium casing, 171 * 113 * 31mm, weight: 250g

Software
The command line software HEDCHIP.EXE does the actual programming.

This fully batch-compatible program can be integrated into your own development system. HEDCHIP.EXE is equally well-suited to the command prompt of DOS, Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000/XP

For Windows 95/98/ME and Windows NT/2000/XP there is also the user-friendly Windows user interface HC95 with a powerful device database.

A device is programmed in 5 easy steps:

1. Select the device from the database
2. Select a function, eg. program or erase
3. Select a source file
4. optionally: Select programmer options, eg. automatic verification
5. optionally: Select device options to be programmed, eg. Security Fuse or Lock Bits

You can use these settings to program a device or create a batch file for HEDCHIP.EXE. HC95 can also read such batch files. This is used to reproduce programming of devices exactly.

Toronto, Canada – GAO Embedded has launched its latest TI DSP evaluation development board which is designed as a daughter card and can be integrated in a user’s system easily and directly. This emulation board is well suited for applications such as study, scientific research, experimentation and product development.

This evaluation board, model DES6713, is based on a high performance, floating-point DSP – the TMS320C6713GDP225 – running at a frequency of 225MHz and operating at up to 1800MIPS. The board is a dual-layer PCB and thus avoids a complicated multi-layer design for BGA package DSP systems. The use of an independent power supply for A/D sampling significantly reduces the Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) to computing unit; the source of power supply can be selected. This evaluation board provides testing code for testing CCS, PWM, ADC, SPI, SCI, CAN communication, FFT, DC brush/brushless motor and AC motor SPWM and SVOWM.

How to connect the wires.

The high Vpp is obtained by using negative voltage to drive the chip. The voltage is stabilized with zener diodes. They do not need voltage drop as if a voltage regulator, or has much offset current. This makes it possible to use extra low input voltage. Transistor driver guarantee output level > ±3V.

Features: Utilities now work on Dos, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 and are expected to work on all other operating systems. All software does modemcheck to ensure that modems flash are not programmed by programmer, e.g. if you forgot to swap cable between programmer and modem. It is now possible to program more chips at same time using more of the communication port’s while multitasking under Windows. The software automatic optimize delay for cable length and works with modem cables up to 100m. It use the RS232 controler chip only, and does not invoke use of other timers. Also short programming pulses are now hardware controled. Laptops only tested with PIC16C8x and 24Cxx.

The Programmer supports ICSP, In-Circuit Serial Programming.

Which programmer to choose?

Problems?
You may need a diode in RS232 ground, but 24Cxx programming does not work when connecting a diode. Mail if diode is needed. I am not sure if it is computers that need the diode.
Schematic.

Always use last version of software. PGM84V29 has been improved to work better with laptops, and P50X has been updated to use a better algorithme. PGM84V32 and P50XV19 work better – and problems has been solved. P50XV20 is much slower, old versions was too fast.
New in PGM84V34: Small bug, according to Sebastian Edman and Malte Kiesel is corrected.
Also changed to be able to be compiled with free pascal. (Still able to be compiled with Borland Pascal). Last update: 16. dec 1999.

In case you develope your own routines, and do support my programmers, you do need to check voltage during read, and also programming voltages, since it depends on delays too. Test with more cable lengths are needed and must not result in programming / reading problems. Very slow interrupts, as e.g. exists in multitasking environments, must not make the voltages drop. An easy multitask test is to program more chips at same time using multiple ports.

Notice: If delays are too short, will PIC12C50X hang and need to be unpluged (Power removed) – and inserted again. Then it works. Use slower version (new versions or PROG50XS.BAT). If 3FFF at read, also use the slower versions. (READ50XS.BAT). Else does it hang, and reads blank.
