Sandy Bridge, Color-Coded PSUs, And SSDs

We certainly weren’t surprised to see some manufacturers showing off LGA 1155-based motherboards, which will support Intel’s upcoming Sandy Bridge processors. In the photo above, you can see ECS’ P67H2-A2. Believe it or not, Intel will not support USB 3.0 on its upcoming platform (here, ECS had to use the Etron Technology USB 3.0 controller). But no additional details are officially available.

A-Data was showing off new PSUs with “Eye of Horus” colored LED lighting, which changes tone based on output power load. If the output power level is low (0-50%), the PSU shines with a green color. Blue color corresponds to 50-100% load, and red equals more than 100% load.

Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) – San Jose 2010

Best Demos

Memoright Corporation was demonstrating their Solid State Drive (SSD) in their booth under extreme environmental conditions where one drive was submerged in hot water and another sitting on top of dry ice. These drives took a licking during the course of the conference and just kept operating.

Texas Instruments was demonstrating their Chronos development watch in their booth. The watch is a highly integrated, wearable wireless development system in a sports watch. It may be used as a reference platform for watch systems, a personal display for personal area networks, or as a wireless sensor node for remote data collection. The Chronos watch may be disassembled to be reprogrammed with a custom application and includes an eZ430 USB programming interface.
