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 Power-management controller for standard MOSFETs from Texas Instruments: "Texas Instruments has introduced a power-management controller and driver for standard and logic-level N-channel MOSFETs used for low-voltage, secondary-side synchronous rectification. ".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from Ocean Blue - take a look at Ocean Blue SoCs suited for connected TV products which says: "Ocean Blue Software has ported its Sunrise HD DVB stack and Voyager HD MHEG-5 stack onto set-top box (STB) chipsets from Renesas and Trident.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Kontron, System host board for energy and medical sectors, as well as FPGA-based frame grabbers for image acquisition from Stemmer Imaging, and TFT touch-panel PC for POS/kiosk applications from Avalue Technology.
