Embedded Computing Design

Rich Nass talks to Kai Wang, a Director on NexCOBOT?s Robot and Automation team.

Consolidating your compute system to reduce the number of platforms, the number of boards, and any other resources.

Let's take a peek at the two-day conference, which is jam-packed with educational lectures that cover just about every topic that an embedded developer may encounter.

I invited Ricardo Margalho, the Co-founder and CEO of Stratio Automotive, to join me in this week?s Five Minutes With?discussion.

Zephyr is an open-source operating system that?s designed for applications where Linux is simply too big, from a space or power perspective.

Bandic is the Senior Director of Hardware Platforms for Western Digital; he?s a Member of the Board of Directors for the RISC-V Foundation, and he?s the Chairman of the Chips Alliance.

Calista Redmond is the newly appointed CEO of the RISC-V Foundation, the group that manages the spec and is putting on seminars and conferences around the world.

SiFive, a provider of RISC-V core IP, recently announced its Freedom Aware (FA) family of SoC templates as well as a strategic development partnership with QuickLogic.

There seems to be a foundation/association for just about everything in our space these days. Are such institutions necessary? Do they wear out their usefulness? I asked that question of Mike...

Do recent announcements in 5G have any impact on the advancement of LoRa-based technologies such as those developed by The Things Network, or is there still ample market opportunity?

The IoT is just starting to embrace AI and neural nets. While previously a Cloud-based application, such algorithms are migrating to the Edge, thanks to the latest and greatest microprocessors....

Michael Dolan, Vice President of Strategic Programs for the Linux Foundation joins this week?s Five Minutes With?discussion.

Boards and systems designed around an Nvidia processor are becoming more commonplace. But where they haven?t made much of a mark?until now?is in the mil/aero industries. The architecture seems...

Power is key in any embedded system?literally. You will not find an embedded system that does not contain some sort of power subsystem. However, people tend not to put much emphasis on that...

There are holes in IoT security. I don?t think anyone disputes that. Is it a big problem or a small problem? Unfortunately, the answer depends. Knowing where to start and what path to take is a...

The space where the electronics meets the mechanics ends up being a place of disconnect. Who owns that domain, the mechanical engineer or the electrical engineer? Good question, and that?s where I...

Octavo's latest offering is the OSD32MP1, which is based on the new STM32MP1 microprocessor from STMicroelectronics.

Connectors, cables, etc. are a vital piece of the embedded system, but are often (too often?) taken for granted. There?s clearly a lot going on in that space that designers should know about. To...

Western Digital has developed the iNAND MC EU511 embedded flash drive (EFD), which offers sequential write speeds up to 750 Mbytes/s and capacities of 512 Gbytes.
