The Embedded Computing Design editorial staff is pleased to present this year’s embedded world Best-in-Show nominees in the Microcontrollers, Microprocessors, & IP category:

Nuremberg, Germany. Announced during embedded world 2023, Ashling’s RiscFree SDK will deliver software development support for Imagination’s Catapult RISC-V-based IP cores.  The collaboration between the two companies produced the RTXM-2200 which is the first industrial licensable CPU IP from the RISC-V Catapult family. Highlights include a real-time, scalable, 32-bit integrated design with Imagination’s expertise in CPU development.

London, England – Imagination Technologies launched the IMG DXT, a ray tracing GPU providing enhanced graphics for mobile device users by enabling mobile device manufacturers to integrate ray tracing into their SoCs, ranging from simple shadowing in hybrid implementations to high-end graphics.

Imagination Technologies and the Khronos® Group are holding the Khronos and Imagination Seminar in Shanghai, a developer event highlighting the rapidly evolving software-hardware ecosystem and the opportunities for GPU technology, open-source standards, and open API interfaces across mobile gaming, automotive and cloud.  

Imagination Technologies' first real-time embedded RISC-V CPU, IMG RTXM-2200, is a highly scalable, feature-rich, 32-bit embedded solution with a flexible design for a wide range of high-volume devices. The IMG RTXM-2200 is a commercial core in Imagination's Catapult CPU family, which was previously announced in December 2021.

Imagination Technologies achieves ISO 26262 functional safety certification for its IMG BXS-4-64 GPU from HORIBA MIRA Certification Limited. Imagination’s latest certification makes the IMG BXS GPU the ideal choice for OEMs and Tier 1s who are looking to integrate efficient, high-performing graphics and compute in functionally safe automotive designs.
