The TOYO Corporation is one of Japan's pre-eminent specialists in the all-critical area of measurement, providing comprehensive and integrated support in the core triad of hardware, software and education. On September 22, 2010, in the 9th floor Seminar Room at the TOYO TI Center in Tokyo, Japan, TOYO is sponsoring a seminar focusing on USB3 commercialization and implementation, primarily for UAS and for embedded systems. Terry Moore will be one of the featured presenters. Here are the links for both program details and registration information.
Intel Developer Forum (IDF) is a premier global technology industry event that brings together technology professionals who are actively directing where technology is going. MCCI is pleased to announce its presence in Booth 945 (in the USB Community) at the 2010 IDF in San Francisco, California, September 13 - 15. Stay tuned for more details.
MCCI staff enjoyed a very successful 2010 Wireless Japan at Tokyo's famous Big Sight exhibition center. Check out the presentations given at the capacity-crowd seminar and download some of the show's poster art at mcci.com. Pictures of the event are there as well!
On Friday July 9, 2010, MCCI-Japan's press release went out over the wire with more details about MCCI's upcoming seminar and product demos at the Wireless Japan expo. Read more at Kyodo News Wire. Read more at www.mcci.com
On July 9, 2010 MCCI CEO Terry Moore addressed hardware and storage industry professionals at a Compact Flash Association meeting. He discussed the legacy USB storage class, BOT (Bulk Only Transport), and introduced MCCI's UAS (USB-Attached SCSI) software, which takes advantage of the UAS protocol's support for command queuing. He also spoke about a mutually beneficial relationship between USB 3.0 and Lexar's new BluLightning software technology. BluLightning is high capacity technology that privileges small form factor storage media.
On July
14 - July 16, MCCI will exhibit at Wireless Japan. We will demonstrate two different MCCI ExpressDisk™ Driver products:
The MCCI ExpressDisk BOT Driver utilizes the Windows-provided SCSIport/Storport Driver to deliver better performance. The driver combines multiple Read/Write requests into a single request to achieve the highest throughput, achieving up to a 30% better performance when compared to other BOT drivers.
The MCCI ExpressDisk UAS Driver is a complete replacement for Mass Storage Class and utilizes the Windows-provided SCSIport/Storport Driver to achieve maximum data throughput speed. The MCCI ExpressDisk UAS Driver can achieve 300% of BOT throughput.
We will also demonstrate the MCCI Catena® 1910. This Catena is an HSIC (High Speed Inter-Chip USB) Device, Host Emulator, and Protocol Analyzer. It allows an HSIC host/device pair and supporting software to execute in a local, real-time environment, and includes USB transaction-level data capture. It is connected to a host PC and controlled via PCIe. In "Host mode - Analyzer," the PC software views the UUT (Unit Under Test) as a HS USB device. In "Analyzer Mode" the Catena 1910 supports traffic capture of the HSIC bus for traffic flowing between two other HSIC devices, e.g. an applications processor and a modem. The Catena 1910 supports all standard USB operational characteristics, including LPM. The demonstration will show operation with an HSIC hub and mass storage device.
On July 15, MCCI is sponsoring a seminar "Advances in USB," also at the Big Sight. Speakers at the July 15 seminar are:

On June 10, 2010 at the Mobile Computing Promotion
Consortium (MCPC) annual kick-off meeting and reception,
MCCI-Japan's Terry Miyata was honored with a certificate of merit amid
the applause of industry insiders, government representatives, and
embassy officials. The certificate marks MCPC's appreciation of MCCI's
contributions to MCPC's USB-SWG and In-Car-WG. Mr. Miyata accepted the
certificate on behalf of the MCCI MCPC team: Takuji Ishikawa, Chris
Yokum, Brian Henriquez, Paul Berg, and especially MCCI CEO Terry
Moore. "It has been a team effort," Mr. Miyata said. "I am grateful
to be a part of this team."
Make the MCCI meeting space (Booth H213) at Computex Taipei 2010, Asia's
largest computer exhibition, your next destination. The show runs from
June 1 - June 5, so there is still time. Interest in USB 3.0 is running
high in Taiwan, and visitors are keen on both MCCI xHCI support and
the MCCI ExpressDisk(TM) products. Contact sales-tw@mcci.com for more information.
KDDI, a leading mobile network operator in Japan, is deploying MCCI
USB host drivers in its next generation set top box.
KDDI's HD-STB, a convergence set-top box that offers a "PC-free"
connection to KDDI's fiber-optic based IP TV network, includes MCCI's
Linux-based driver functionality. Music and video programs purchased via
the HD-STB can be downloaded and transferred to au handsets for mobile
listening or viewing.
MCCI earlier provided host drivers for the successful deployment of KDDI's au BOX. Previous cooperation activities between KDDI and MCCI include the development of the USB connectivity specification and the development of connectivity test tools for the au mobile network.
