 Hi there, my name is Ricardo Anguiano. I am a technical marketing engineer working for Mentor Graphics. I'm here at ArmTechCon 2016 in Santa Clara. Mentor Graphics is well known in the EDA space. In fact, we were responsible for the creation of the industry way back in the early 80s. Now, we've been in embedded systems for 20 years at this point. There's 20 years in embedded systems right here. So what have you been doing for 20 years? We've been enabling developers with infrastructure like development tools, debug workflows and run times like our Nucleus RTOS and our Mentor Embedded Linux offering. So here you have a demo. What do you do here? That's right. So our team built this case, this cabinet, and it's drawing together a 6x6 grid of NXP K64 freedom boards with touchscreens on the front side. All network together through the switch. And then the controller, the game controller is this IMX6, also an NXP part. So all of this runs our Nucleus real-time operating system. The game controller is driving the touch screen that's on the front of this, the large touch screen, 13 inch. And then each of these has a touch screen as well. And those also run our Nucleus RTOS. You say our Nucleus operating system? That's right. Yes. That's right. This is a proprietary commercial real-time operating system sold by Mentor Graphics. Let's go around here and check out what is this game about? So this game is a memory game. If you follow me around this way, you get a chance to see how this game works. If you reset it, you see our big 20th anniversary logo here. And then if I hit start, you get to see all of the tiles. For just a few seconds, you're supposed to memorize them in your head. And then when they go blank, you're supposed to play the game. And high scores end up here. And we win prizes. Nice. So your score is perfect or 100% or what? No, unfortunately not. Has anybody done that? The high score is not that bad. Has there been any perfect scores? I don't think we have had perfect scores. Not yet. Okay, I'll do it after. Just after the video. Okay. Then over there. Yeah, so if you follow me around one more time, we're going to come over here to where Larry is. Watch it. Watch it. And so this is our industrial automation Makka. We're featuring our safety critical applications here. So you can see the robot here in the video. If you keep zooming this way, you can see there's an opening here where I can break the plane and the sensor will realize that I've broken the plane. If we come over to the control surface here, you can see the alarm status is on. That indicates that something has ended up in the safety zone. And so the robot won't operate at this point. So if I reset the robot or the safety system, I can come over here, operate the robot, and now you can see the robot in operation. Right. Again in here. Oops. Oops, I got too close. Yeah, you broke the plane here and so the alarm status is on. So the robot stopped moving because of that. And the rationale here is that we have two different operating systems running at the same time. One of these is involved with the process control. The other one is responsible for safety. So we can actually crash the system here. If I press the crash button, everything on the left side of that screen will crash. But the safety system will continue to operate. So it's still showing that we've had a violation until we reset the system. So is Nucleus plus safety OS? Yeah, so we have two versions of Nucleus. One is our regular standard Nucleus that we've used for many years now. It's a very mature RTOS. The newer product there is called Nucleus Safety Cert. This is a safety certifiable real-time operating system for safety critical applications. And this is 100% secure? Oh, 100% secure. That's a long conversation. Security is about risk reduction and mitigation. Adhering to practices and standards. Doing things like not shipping default passwords, for example. There's a lot of things you can do to raise the bar. But perfect security, even though I work in marketing, I'm never going to claim that we have perfect security. You're never going to claim that. What if you get it at some point? What if some of these guys invents it? You would be the first to hear about it. I'm not going to tell you we have that today. Because there was an earlier today in the keynote, a quite cool guy was hacking all the cars. So this car, if it's running your system, is not going to get hacked? We hope not. I know that doesn't sound very confidence-inspiring, but I mean, seriously, security is a really tricky subject to get right. There's so many pieces from Secure Boot through vulnerability, patches, later down the line, through the process that is used to create the software. There's a lot of things that you can do to make it more secure, but I don't think anyone here at this show claims to have perfect security. They all have security-enabling technologies, just like we do. Do you work with Embed at all, or is this an alternative to Embed, what you're doing? We work with Embed. Yeah, so Embed is a really clean and easy way to load executables onto the board and then connect into their Embed ecosystem. So there's nothing that prevents us from using Nucleus in that same ecosystem as well. What are we looking at over here? Is this some medical stuff? What is this? That is a Xilinx MP SoC board. This is one of their ultra-scale platforms. It is ARM. It's ARM plus FPGAs, right? So this is the Xilinx Zinc line. So what we're showing here is just a demonstration of an early engineering prototype with our Android port on top of it. What's over there? This right here is a product made by Cepheid. Cepheid is a partner of ours. They've built this system using Mentor Embedded Linux. This is an early, I guess, late-stage prototype. If you'd like to describe it. So my name is Fong Chow. I represent Cepheid. I'm a business solutions manager for Cepheid. I'm here because we partnered with the Mentor team here to use their bit of Linux OS in our products. So this is a late-stage. So you have it in there? Yeah, inside the hardware. So what kind of hardware do you have in there? So this is a molecular diagnostic instrument. So we can run different tests in the field on the go. This is designed to be ultra-portable. There is no cables connected to it. It's currently powered on. It is paired to a phone. In this case, we are using a Nexus 6P Google phone. Any phone would work? No. We are developing for this phone specifically. We have our own app deployed onto the phone. It uses a lot of performance. You need to process a bunch of stuff? No. The processing takes place in the instrument itself, actually. The phone is basically loaded with an app and a software that would lock down the phone's feature. So all the user would have access to is our app to run the instrument and the tech support app, which is basically a web app. So we can see what's going on on the phone. So it's a special image of Android that just has your stuff, really? It's straight up. Right now it's running Marshmallow, actually. So nothing special. What is that stuff? So these guys are the cartridges. So when I say we can run a test, we can run Ebola, testing for Ebola. We can test for HIV, test for flu. This is called a cartridge. Inside the cartridge, we have the chemistry. Obviously, this is an empty one, but if it's a real cartridge, we'll have chemistry, we'll have reagents, we'll have beads. That would, when you apply the sample, when you place the sample in the cartridge and you load the cartridge into the instrument, it's going to process, it's going to analyze the chemistry and provide a result and then send that result to the phone. So it's like a huge lab that does the same stuff? Exactly. So instead of having a huge lab space with an instrument that's about the size of this bench, we are now looking at a footprint of this big, right, to run one test. And Zika. Are you going to sell that? Zika, we are working on that. The Baal team is investigating that right now. Because people are worried about that? Absolutely. So we are, we've got a team looking into that currently. The way this product would be sold is when we launch, it would come one phone with one instrument. And then the customer can buy additional up to three more for a total of four instruments to be paired with one phone. And is this approved by all the medical governors and stuff? We are going into clinical trial in 2017 Q3. After that, we'll get our clearance and approvals and then we'll launch commercially. Can you speed it up? Can you have it ready like Q1? No, it has to go through the test. The clinical trial, right? Because this is a medical device product. Okay. The way they're communicating is two modes. One is through Wi-Fi. So if you are in a small hospital, you can use the hospital's Wi-Fi to connect the instrument and the phone to that Wi-Fi. If you do not have Wi-Fi, we provide a global SIM, such as in a rural area like in Kenya, in South Africa, you don't have internet, you don't have Wi-Fi, we provide a global SIM. Has it been to work with the mental graphics in this? It's been great. They've been supportive. It's a great partnership. Everything is going great so far. It's got to be awesome at mental graphics to be called projects, right? Absolutely. To work on all kinds of special projects. I get pulled into automotive projects, general embedded projects, projects in a number of different verticals, and we're really excited. That's not a casino, but I'm just saying. It's kind of like a casino thing. It is, and I can make it a little bit more casino-like here. Thank you. I'll see if I can. Oh, you can cheat the results? No, no, no, no. In fact, I think that this ran out of batteries. No, I can change the color of the lighting. I was going to make it more casino-like. But to answer your question, I do get a chance to work on a lot of different projects with a lot of very talented teams. We're really excited to have Cepheid as a partner. We don't make medical devices, but we enable things like the product that Cepheid is building today. And how many people are Mentor Graphics, and where are you based? Mentor Graphics is based out of Wilsonville, Oregon. That's about 25 minutes south of Portland. We were founded in 1981, publicly traded. Where a headcount is somewhere north of 5,000 people.
