SANTA BARBARA, CA — (Marketwired) — 02/17/15 — Green Hills Software, the largest independent software vendor for the Internet of Things (IoT), will present technical sessions in the embedded world conference in Nuremberg, Germany, and demonstrate optimized solutions on our stand (Hall 4, Stand 325). We will also present in our in-stand theatre to help embedded designers build and deploy software with maximum performance, absolute security, in the fastest time-to-market. Green Hills will present and demonstrate its leading support for today–s latest processors.
Much of the technological innovation in IoT is centered on the protocols, standards, and applications needed to enable new capabilities. Security, however, is largely an afterthought. This talk will discuss the security and privacy challenges introduced by IoT and how developers in the IoT world can use security to gain competitive advantage in their designs and their businesses.
C and C++ are powerful, yet compact programming languages, but they permit programming practices that are not well suited for secure systems. MISRA C and C++ are collections of rules that define a subset of the languages that are less error-prone and more suitable for secure and safety-critical systems. This class will provide an introduction to MISRA C/C++, when it should be used, and when it should not.

While universities teach much about programming, embedded developers spend the majority of their time debugging code which has already been written, often times by others. When watching a fellow co-worker attack a bug, I often gain insight into new ways to approach the task of debugging. What this says to me is that much remains to be discovered in how to go about debugging. This talk goes over a number of top techniques in how to get to the bottom of problems using a modern debugger and readily available tools. Design techniques to make debugging easier are also discussed.
While 85% of embedded designs use C and C++, these languages are notorious for their inherent lack of safety. Many of the most common sources of errors are unlikely to show up during testing and may manifest themselves later as costly product glitches. This talk focuses on the tools and techniques that can be used to augment any software design paradigm. Techniques include coding conventions, automatic run-time error checking, manual compile-time and run-time assertions, static analysis, and the most common mistakes to avoid.
Before any C++ feature may be used, the code must first be made to compile as valid C++ code. Unfortunately, most C code will not compile as C++ code; numerous changes are usually required to achieve a code base that can be compiled either as C code or C++ code. This presentation discusses the primary causes that will prevent C code from being compiled as C++ code.
As the Internet of Things grows, resource-constrained devices are becoming increasingly complicated. The majority of these devices are programmed in C or C++, but these languages make it too easy for developers to make mistakes. Coding standards constrain the languages using rules that require certain conventions or that prohibit dangerous constructs. This presentation surveys a number of the most commonly used coding standards. Examples of the rules in the different standards are shown, giving attendees a sense of what the different standards are like.
Beyond the world of security-conscious embedded engineers, outsiders often laugh at our security warnings about the Internet of Things. And yet an outsider–s questions like: –why would hackers attack my toaster– have some validity. How do we think through the risks with Internet-enabling increasing numbers of consumer devices? This talk presents a perspective synthesized from the embedded community, the security community, and the business community: that the most economically viable attacks for an adversary are those attacks done at scale. And when hacking and malware attacks are at scale, the gain for the adversary may actually be far less than the underlying costs incurred by the manufacturer of the vulnerable device. And thus the prudent manufacturer should be incentivized to design a device hardened against such attacks. While it is likely true that hackers may have little interest in exploiting your personal toaster, an army of malware-infected toasters is an interesting target for future exploits and cybercrime.
Running on a Freescale i.MX6-based point-of-sale reference platform, this demonstration shows how the certified security policies and isolation architecture of the defeat RAM scraper malware recently used in credit card breaches at several major US retailers.
For OEMs and Tier 1s looking to add surround view as a key safety and convenience feature, the INTEGRITY RTOS combined with the R-Car V2H processor from Renesas deliver impressive computational performance and image recognition capabilities without compromising system safety.
Web connectivity, secure communications, cryptographic toolkit and machine-to-machine (M2M) management are featured in this demonstration running the security-certified INTEGRITY RTOS and combined with the hardware-accelerated cryptography of the Freescale C29x Crypto Coprocessor.
To show how developers in the embedded Linux world can dramatically improve debugging productivity, this demo features comprehensive, source-level debugging from boot loaders to applications running on the NVIDIA Jetson Tegra K1 development board. For developers of safety-critical systems, pre-qualified tools can save significant time throughout the development process. Green Hills Software also demonstrates the .
Widespread support for the INTEGRITY RTOS from the industry–s leading graphics suppliers gives designers a rich selection of choices when creating next-generation automotive, medical, industrial and avionics systems on the industry–s leading embedded processors. The combination of a high performance OpenGL stack with the safe, secure and real-time INTEGRITY separation kernel allows creation of robust GUI-based devices.
