Here's some of what's new on the DSO front: Enea demos OSE for TI OMAP...ARM reveals other Cortex licensees...and EMF helping NASA adviser.
At last week's ARM Developers' Conference, Enea demonstrated its OSE real-time operating system (RTOS), development tools and board support packages (BSP) for Texas Instruments’ OMAP platform. Enea says its OSE was the first RTOS to support OMAP’s ARM and DSP cores, and that it is the only RTOS that offers a single API for developing robust, scaleable, multimedia-enhanced applications for OMAP’s ARM and DSP cores. (For more info, see this Enea statement.)
Speaking of ARM, last week came reports that Texas Instruments would be the first to license the company's new Cortex-A8 processor. Turns out TI has already been joined by several other licensees, namely, Freescale, Matsushita, and Samsung, says ARM (see a copy of the statement here). The Cortex processor is an applications processor based on the new ARMv7 architecture; it reportedly delivers up to 2,000 DMIPS (the D is for Dhrystone), aiming it at such processor-hungry apps as audio and games.
Jerry Krasner, founder of Embedded Market Forecasters and an occasional DSO.com columnist, tells us his firm is supplying its dashboard and database to Lone Star Aerospace, a company that is helping NASA define its 30-year plan for software use and deployment. Lone Star also consults to the Navy, Air Force, and their primes.

Unless the industry changes, it soon won't have enough developers to write all the code that today's complex devices require, says Enea's VP of product marketing.
To realize and accelerate the full benefits of device software optimization, focus on productivity and innovation at the application level, writes Encirq's vice president of worldwide marketing.
If you're not reusing device software, you're not getting the most from your DSO strategy, says the co-founder and technical director of Proven Software Solutions.
The benefits will include superior integration, security and reliability-plus on-time, under-budget delivery, says the founder and CEO of Green Hills Software.
After many false starts, the infrastructure and standards for ESL design are starting to make a difference, according to the ESL strategic marketing manager and engineering manager for ESL tools at ARM.
