(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : AVT AVT avian arginine vasotocin. See vasotocin. ), Tuesday joined chip manufacturer Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and device networking Using an Ethernet LAN to interconnect sensors, instruments, machine tools, medical monitors, restaurant appliances, POS terminals and other devices. In the mid-1990s, Comtrol Corporation created the first "device server," which converts serial transmission to Ethernet, enabling software developer emWare Inc. to announce the availability of the Avnet 68HC908GP32 emWare(R) Enabled Development Kit. This kit was created to provide customers with a complete development environment for low-cost Internet-based embedded system Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. designs. The development kit includes the necessary tools and applications to help device manufacturers quickly deliver device-networking solutions to market. The development kit is designed, sold and supported by Avnet Design Services. "This development kit provides customers with a complete environment that allows them to have hardware up and running quickly, so that the value-added software portion of the design can begin right away," said Warren Miller There are several people of note named Warren Miller, including
"More and more of our customers are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. a modular hardware development environment to speed their time to market, and we've designed our expanding family of Avnet Design Services Development Kits to do exactly that." "emWare is pleased to partner with Avnet Design Services to provide our common customers with this time-to-market accelerator," said Paul Carter Paul Carter is the name of:
"Extending the Internet to everyday devices just got much easier because of Avnet Design Services." "The Motorola 68HC908GP32 is an ideal processor for low-cost Internet-enabled applications," said Greg White Greg White (born July 25, 1979) is an American football defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. White attended the University of Minnesota and was drafted in 2002 by the expansion Houston Texans, but failed to make the roster. , Motorola vice president and general manager of Motorola's Embedded Controller Controller circuitry built into a device or on the main system board, in contrast with a removable card or module. Division. "The combination of our processor, the emWare software and the ADS development kit create a compelling application solution for our mutual customers. "'Silicon, software and services' is the new time-to-market mantra, and the Motorola, emWare and Avnet Design Services partnership delivers on this customer demand for the Internet-enabled embedded applications." The Avnet 68HC908GP32 emWare(R) Enabled Development Kit is available now from Avnet Design Services and is priced at $249.95 USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. . Kit Description The Avnet 68HC908GP32 emWare Enabled Development Kit combines all the features and functionality of Motorola's 68HC908GP32 8-bit FLASH microcontroller with emWare's EMIT(R) device networking software to create a powerful, low-cost development solution. emWare's EMIT device networking technology is a complete software infrastructure that allows device manufacturers to produce networked, intelligent devices that can be managed and controlled remotely over the Internet or any other network. Available exclusively from Avnet Design Services, the Avnet 68HC908GP32 emWare Enabled Development Kit also doubles as a microcontroller target system, which significantly reduces designer development requirements and product time-to-market. The kit includes a development board, a demonstration application, development software, documentation, and emWare's EMIT 4 device networking software -- everything needed to get started writing an embedded Internet application. Key features of the kit include the Motorola 68HC908GP32 8-bit FLASH microcontroller, 1x16 character LCD, temperature sensor, Piezoelectric The property of certain crystals that causes them to produce voltage when a mechanical pressure is applied to them such as sound vibrations. This technique is used to build crystal microphones, phonograph cartridges and strain gauges, all of which turn mechanical movement into voltage. speaker, RS232 serial interface, 9V external power supply, onboard 5V voltage regulator An electronic circuit used to maintain a level amount of voltage in an electrical line. It eliminates power surges, spikes and brownouts, which can cause harm to sensitive electronics. A voltage regulator "module" (VRM) is a voltage regulator in a replaceable unit. See surge suppression and UPS. , and emWare's emMicro(TM) device object server, open emNet(TM) networking protocol, emGateway(TM) software bridge and management system, and the EMITAIS(TM) client libraries for creating client applications. A detailed description of the kit is available at http://www.ads.avnet.com/solutions. Engineering Design Services In addition to offering the development kit, Avnet Design Services is offering certified design engineering resources, on a fee for service basis, to assist customer designing with emWare and Motorola products This is a list of Motorola products. Motorola is a multinational company which manufactures telecommunications and electronics products. Computers Laptops
Avnet Design Services' design engineers, who are familiar with the emWare software and the process of using it on Motorola-based processors, can cut customers' time to market significantly, by customizing a board support package specifically for the customers end application for the Development Kit. This package would provide the "glue" between the processor and the customers' end application code -- allowing the customer to focus on the application, not the hardware details.
