Start with the news release EASA certifies avionics unit with Altera processor from Altera, which we summarised at the time by saying "The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified a safety-critical avionics system that includes a DO-254/ED-80-certifiable version of Altera's Nios II embedded processor.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release System host board for energy and medical sectors from Kontron: "Kontron has introduced the PICMG 1.3 system host PCI-761, a slot-card-sized industrial server board equipped with the Intel Q57 Express chipset for asynchronous real-time applications.".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from Texas Instruments - take a look at TPS54618 for DSP- and FPGA-based communications which says: "The TPS54618 provides 95-per-cent efficiency and operating current of 2.95-6V for point-of-load designs used in DSP- and FPGA-based communications, test and medical equipment. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Stemmer Imaging, FPGA-based frame grabbers for image acquisition, as well as PCE-5125 board ideal for industrial applications from Advantech, and Oscillator for PCIe-based embedded applications from MSC Vertriebs.
