Two recent evolutions in computing architectures, CompactPCI Serial (PICMG CPCI S.0) and VPX (ANSI-VITA 46.0), set out to meet the increasing demands of serial interfaces in harsh embedded computing environments. Both standards offer unique attributes and application-specific advantages, depending on system complexity, available budget and environmental requirements of an application. This paper describes the nuances of each that designers should consider when deciding on which to use in an application. A historical perspective detailing the evolution of each is also provided.

The development platform for i.MX 6Quad from element14 (built to the Freescale SABRE Lite design) is an evaluation platform featuring the powerful i.MX 6Q, a multimedia application processor with Quad ARM Cortex-A9 cores at 1.2 GHz from Freescale Semiconductor.
This month, Freescale and element14 are giving away five such platforms, worth £128.06 each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The platform helps evaluate the rich set of peripherals and includes a 10/100/Gb Ethernet port, SATA-II, HDMI v1.4, LVDS, parallel RGB interface, touch screen interface, analog headphone/microphone, micro TF and SD card interface, USB, serial port, JTAG, camera interface, and input keys for Android.
And the winners are...
In our previous reader offer, Pico Technology was giving away one of its recently launched PicoScope 3207B, a 2-channel USB 3.0 oscilloscope worth 1451 Euros. Lucky winner Mr L. Sanchez-Gonzalez from Spain should be receiving his PicoScope 3207B soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with his projects.
