Interchip Timing Synchronization Using Inexpensive MCUs
07.10.2024
In December, you can again meet us at Embedded Software Engineering Conference in Sindelfingen, and we are very proud that our colleagues Christian Wenzel-Benner and Germano Brunacci were accepted as speakers.
What it's about?
Distributed systems often need a common time base in order to function correctly. This applies to multichip embedded systems often found in cars, medical devices, home appliances, industrial and home automation...
However, the clock sources of the individual chips in the distributed system are not perfect and start drifting apart the moment the system starts up. Correcting for this using software only, although inexpensive, tends to be imprecise.
Luckily the hardware building blocks for precise synchronization are becoming increasingly available even on inexpensive mass market MCUs (eg. Raspberry Pi Pico).
Christian's and Germano's presentation introduces a practical project example demonstrating how software can exploit common hardware features in order to achieve high-precision synchronization with minimum CPU load.
Let's meet at the Infineon Technologies Oktoberfest 2024
26.09.2024
Peter Gliwa, Matthias Ochs and Zsolt Nagy will be there and answer all your questions about the T1 Timing Analyis Suite for your embedded systems resource optimization.
Check also our demo about synchronized AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive, where we show T1 providing real-time tracing of the timing behavior of both systems, unified on one timeline. Full transparency of when what happens where is necessary to debug and validate distributed embedded real-time systems.

Do you already miss us like the deserts miss the rain?
For us, this event is one of the most important events for us because we meet experts and industry leaders from all over the world. The presentations are very well selected, the technical information level is very high. And that's why we attend this two-day event every year.
Step by our booth and grab a copy of Peter Gliwa's book "Embedded Software Timing". The different timing analysis techniques are described in there, and every chapter contains an interview with an industry expert, e.g., Armin Stingl of TASKING, or Rudolf Dienstbeck of Lauterbach GmbH!
Curious? Check the available translations here:
We're looking forward to talking to you at our booth!
Save the date - 11.03 - 13.03.2025
09.07.2024
Embedded world Exhibition&Conference in Nuremberg is happening, and we will be there again!
We can't wait to show you the new features, we are currently working on, or, if you do not yet use T1, demonstrate the tool and it's advantages to you!
Why AUTOSAR Fails so Often
10.05.2024
We are delighted to announce that GLIWA CEO, Peter Gliwa, is confirmed as speaker at this year's AUTOSAR Open Conference in Tokyo, Japan.
Curious, what he tells in his speech "Why AUTOSAR Fails so Often"?
Could be an interesting discussion afterwards....
Join us on π’π°ππΌπ―π²πΏ ππ΄-ππ΅, 2023 at the World Conference Center in Bonn, Germany and let's talk about software-based timing analysis, and how we can support you to boost the efficiency, the reliability and the safety of your embedded systems. Read more
GLIWA goes Embedded Software Engineering Kongress
01.08.2023
Join us on December 04. - 08. and attend Christian Wenzel-Benner's speech about "Clock Drift in Distributed Embedded Systems". He introduces the participants to the necessity of a common time base in distributed embedded systems and provides an overview of existing approaches and protocols to handle the issue. A simple and inexpensive method for small systems is explained and demonstrated on real hardware, as well. Read more
