The IDE Is Dead. Long Live the Toolchain.
June 10, 2026
For decades, the Integrated Development Environment, commonly known as the IDE, has been treated as the hub of software development tooling. Whether it was Visual Studio, Eclipse, IntelliJ, or others, the promise was always the same: put everything in one place; editor, compiler, debugger, project manager, source control, and eventually every other tool imaginable. That promise made sense during the early days.

Application Highlight: ADLINK ISB-W890 Redefines High-End Automated Inspection
June 9, 2026
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is at the leading edge of industrial Edge AI systems, and semiconductor production, in particular, relies upon high-end AOI for maximum efficiency in manufacturing.
Advanced semiconductor production is becoming increasingly complex as wafers become thinner and the process is miniaturized. Despite this growing complexity, semiconductor manufacturers still need to ensure high yields with maximum accuracy.

Mouser Product of the Week: Microchip Technology dsPIC33AK Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs)
June 8, 2026
DC/DC converters, DC/AC, motor control, advanced sensor interfacing, high-performance embedded control, and many other applications require flexible, high-performance, and real-time precision control. These capabilities can be leveraged by a solution designed to support complex, mathematical computations like a digital signal processor, with the versatility of a microcontroller.

When Correct Outputs Aren't Enough: Testing Edge AI for Hidden Timing Failures on Shared Silicon
June 1, 2026
Edge AI systems on shared-silicon platforms can produce stable, accurate outputs while violating real-time deadlines under realistic deployment contention, a failure mode that accuracy-based validation cannot detect. This article presents a same-hardware controlled experiment on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super demonstrating the gap, and proposes a joint verification condition combining an output-stability metric with a tail-latency bound that engineers can apply to their own systems.

Product of the Week: BootLoop Test, AI-Powered Hardware-in-the-Loop
June 1, 2026
As embedded systems continue to grow in complexity and connectivity, and become more software-defined, firmware development, testing, and debugging are increasingly crucial processes for modern hardware teams trying to get products to market faster.
But automating and accelerating these processes just got a whole lot easier with AI.

Computer Vision in Smart Manufacturing: Defect Detection and Predictive Maintenance
May 27, 2026
In 1943, at the University of Chicago, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts published A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Imminent in Nervous Activity, leading to the foundational work on neural network concepts and modern-day artificial intelligence (AI). Now that AI is moving more to the edge, computer vision is becoming a critical tool. Computer vision systems use machine learning and deep learning to visualize and analyze data for defect detection and predictive maintenance in smart manufacturing

Developing Formally Proven Code with AI
May 26, 2026
Developing formally proven code is challenging. It is also extraordinarily valuable: it produces software with a level of robustness that is otherwise unreachable, and you can have very high confidence that your code will not fail over time. But there is no way around it: it’s hard work.

What Triggers Work in Firmware? Uncovering Event-Driven Execution in EDK2
May 18, 2026
Many people think firmware runs in a simple, step-by-step way. Drivers seem to load one after another, and the execution log shows a smooth boot process. Traditional debugging tools also suggest everything happens in order. However, this view is not always correct.

Northern.tech Issues Report Showing Software Challenges Remain Leading Cause of Delays in Industrial IoT Product Launches
June 10, 2026
Northern.tech announced its annual State of Industrial IoT Device Lifecycle Management report. Research includes that organizational ambitions for connected products are running well ahead of the systems built to support them and the gap between business objectives and current device management abilities is no longer a future challenge, it is ongoing.

Embedded Executive: Understand the What, When, and How of Edge AI | Synaptics
June 10, 2026
Edge AI is exceeding the expectations that I had for the technology, at least at this early point in its ramp-up. I had expected it to take longer to reach fruition than it actually has, although you could probably argue that it hasn’t come close to reaching even the beginnings of its potential.
To understand where Edge AI stands today, where it’s going, and when it could potentially get there, I spoke to John Weil, the Vice President and General Manager for IoT and Edge AI Processors at Synaptics, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
