Greetings from ESC Silicon Valley and DSO World in San Jose, Calif. The show hasn't quite opened yet this morning, but I've learned that among the 300 companies exhibiting here over the next three days, Enea, Green Hills, Encirq, Express Logic, and Eclipse are making DSO-related announcements today.
Enea is annoucing a multi-OS platform for distributed networking equipment and devices. The new platform reportedly includes the OSE, OSEck, and Linux OSes, and it is designed for both high performance and scalability.
Green Hills Software is announcing u-velOSity, the newest addition to its Integrity OS family. The new product is designed for resource-constrained devices; its ROM footprint gets as small as 1600 bytes, RAM footprint down to 1000 bytes, and service call times as low as 30 cycles.
Encirq is announcing version 2.2 of its flagship product, Encirq Data Foundation Framework. Key enhancements aim to improve device-software performance while speeding time-to-market. Improvements to version 2.2 include user-extensible indexing, enhanced build modularity, and time performance enhancements.
Express Logic announced that its ThreadX RTOS now powers more than 300 million devices worldwide. Customers include HP, which uses ThreadX in its ink-jet and All-In-One printers; and Broadcom, which uses the RTOS in its wireless networking system-on-chips (SOCs).
Eclipse Foundation, eager to shed its status as the industry's best kept secret, will be showcasing its Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) and giving examples of how competing vendors are collaborating through Eclipse.
I'll post more on DSO-related announcements from ESC as it comes.

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.
