Green Hills Software Presentations

Topic: Hack-proofing Your C/C++ Code
Date: September 21, 9:00 am – 9:45 am
Presenter: Greg Davis, Director of Engineering, Compilers
Conference Tracks: Connected Devices and the Internet of Things, Room 208B

While 85% of embedded designs use C and C++, these languages are notorious for allowing unsafe code practices that give hackers a way to attack. This talk shows exactly how to keep your internet-connected product safe by writing your code properly the first time. Well-proven tools and techniques can be used to augment any software design paradigm and to effectively hack-proof your code. 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.

Topic: Advanced Compiler Optimizations for the Smallest, Fastest Code
Date: September 22, 10:00am – 10:45am
Presenter: Greg Davis, Director of Engineering, Compilers
Conference Track: Embedded Software Design & Verification, Room 205D

Understanding the compilation process is crucial to generating the tightest code from your source code. Compiler technology has not yet run its course, and new cutting-edge optimizations have made enormous execution and code size savings. This talk will survey some of the speaker's favorite optimizations: some are old, but highly effective, while others are virtually unknown outside of the tight knit community of compiler developers. All of them are, in his opinion, quite fascinating.

Topic: Tips and Tricks for Debugging
Date: September 22, 3:00pm – 3:45pm
Presenter: Greg Davis, Director of Engineering, Compilers
Conference Track: Connected Devices and the Internet of Things, Room 205D

There is no shortage of courses and books written on programming and software design. Yet despite the fact that developers spend 80% of their time debugging code, relatively little attention is paid to debugging. This talk goes over a number of top techniques to get to the bottom of problems using a modern debugger and readily available tools. Design techniques to make debugging easier are also discussed.

Green Hills Software Demonstration in Booth #211

High Performance Embedded Graphics
Widespread support for the INTEGRITY® RTOS from the industry's leading graphics suppliers gives designers a rich selection of choices when creating next-generation graphics. Specific demonstrations run on NXP SABRE Lite i.MX6 reference boards and demonstrations for avionics, smart home, medical, industrial, consumer electronics, and automotive from partners, including DiSTI Graphics, Altia, Crank Software, and Rightware

Advanced Debugging for Embedded Linux
Embedded Linux developers can now use sophisticated tools to dramatically improve their debugging productivity. This demo features comprehensive, source-level debugging for kernel modules, boot loaders, applications and device drivers. Also shown will be advanced probe support to speed development from hardware bootstrap and Linux bring-up to full multi-threaded application debugging and everything in between.
