2011 Embedded market trends New Embedded Designs become more complex but should not take longer to ship! Need to tackle tighten market window. TTM (Time To Market) improvement needs better design methodology. First production volumes for the embedded applications: 50% are below 1000 units. 10% reach millions of units. Need a faster go/no go decision process and methodology (Source:EmbeddedMarket Survey 2010) 4

Main Issues: Incomplete or vague specifications Insufficient time Design Complexity 2011 Embedded market trends Thanks (!) to Android, more and more people speak about Java in Embedded world, but it s a Linux OS Kernel with Java interface, and Average application size > 50Mb Flash and more than 512Mbytes RAM in Android Phones. Android is an OS for smartphones and PDAs. Manufacturing costs / BOM > $200 (Resale $600) Whereas J2ME is a development platform for Java embedded applications. Cost: Memory does impact a lot unit cost (25%). Power consumption: 49% of the new project remain under 100Mhz (code can be run in Flash), 31% = 100 500Mhz, 20% = >500Mhz 59% of new projects uses 32 Bit microcontrollers. 5 2010 Flash < 128K >= 128K 8 bit 91% 9% 16bit 76% 24% 32 bit 20% 80% Total 62% 38%

Java key features & benefits Java is more than a language, it s a technology. Portability & Code re use same Java binary can run on different environments. (No more Ifdef UNIX / Ifdef Win32 in the code to manage the display) Can be up to 3 to 5 times cheaper than C in embedded world Quicker development than C Major Increased in embedded system functionality versus footprint. Maintainability Avoid/Reduce software impacts when hardware changes. Reliability / Robustness No more memory management, no direct memory access (Garbage Collector). The exceptions are managed by the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Independent runtime environment. Same development process for classic and embedded Java. Embedded application can be as fast as C Less than 1ms on a M2M process (Ethernet ports) or Latency ( Touch screen < > Asynchronous stimuli) 8

J2ME Target (non Mobile) Applications Wide range of constrained applications (CLDC) Limited space, Limited weight (power consumption) 8Mhz 180Mhz only Limited Memory (RAM and Flash) RAM 128Kbytes (15000 times less than a PC) Flash: 512Kb (40%) Limited display 480x272x16= 250Kbytes versus PC VGA (1366x768x32 = 4096 Kbytes) No permanent network connection required User Interface offer bigger Real Estate but Android UI has to match non mobile space (simpler, cheaper) UI much more compelling with user experience Sophisticated UI, animated transition, complex lighting, 3D objects and depth, texture, Higher expectations, perception of the UI quality Tap, Drag, Fling, Slide 9

Embedded market coming challenges Time To Market of ever growing complexity embedded applications. Embedded applications have shorter life cycle. Added Value is mostly in the software. 60% of projects costs are embedded software costs. Price (Foot Print) Java becomes an alternative to C and C++ In fact in 2010, more and more embedded design use Java Java against C / C++? A kind of cultural break up decision! 13

Target Market segments Microcontrollers increase in functionality (i.e latest Cortex M3/M4 series). This implies quasi exponential increase in associated software development complexity and cost. C debug very complex. Java is a suitable solution Development Costs Industrial Applications Hardware development costs are more and more under control but you need to better control software development costs. Application software is the biggest competitive portion of embedded products. Hardware Innovation Innovation Required Required Software 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 14

GeeseWare Value Proposition faster application development, smaller getting started budget and easier prototyping (and market on time) Smaller initial investment to reach the step of real field application test. Agile development process with early Involvement of any stakeholder. Sales Pre Sales, Marketing, Manager, Ergonomist, firmware and software eng, etc Optimize the BOM (Bill Of Materials) of target application. Smaller /Tiny Memory footprint (50 250Kbytes applications) SOAR (Smart Optimizer and Romizer) space & speed improvement More and more added value is captured in IHM (higher ASP) A lot easier in Java / Faster / quicker user experience tests MicroJvm virtual machine can be as fast as C: acceleration technics / direct access to Native levels Easy Development Platform customization. example / flexible industrial keyboard on I2C port => simple Mock development to start simulations (java code). 15

GeeseWare Value Proposition Concentrate on application development rather than managing system resources Tasks Scheduling, Memory management, etc Existing critical routines remain in C (possible legacy C code integration).
