Experts from Roku and Renesas to deliver Keynotes Addresses aimed at designing next-gen AI/ML devices.

TOKYO, Japan ― Renesas announced the R-Car S4 Starter Kit, a new low-cost, readily available development board for automotive gateway systems, car servers, connectivity modules and more, for rapid application development.

Tokyo, Japan. Renesas Electronics has standardized development of all printed-circuit board (PCB) designs on the Altium 365 cloud-based software. The platform assists in collaboration between all stakeholders providing IP security and revision control simultaneously. “Chris Allexandre, Senior Vice President, CSMO and Head of the Global Sales and Marketing Unit at Renesas said, “The ECAD tool migration is an important step in our journey, and we look forward to continuing collaboration and to strengthening our partnership with Altium.”

“We had a customer that was looking to get COMs for their products,” says Dan Millar, CMO of MistyWest, a design and engineering firm headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. “If I remember right, the order was delayed three times then ultimately just outright canceled. 

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Steve Sanghi, founder and former chief executive officer of Microchip Technology, joins the Insiders to speak about the release of his book, which highlights the executives’ personal journey from growing up in small town in northern India, to his success in becoming a renowned semiconductor industry leader.

As smart devices are becoming more popular and their demand will only grow in the coming years, we developed a LED display smart speaker with I2C control using a typical GreenPAK design. This design allows the switching of dynamic LED indicator in the smart device depending on its modes: Standby (idle) mode, Listening mode, Thinking mode, Responding mode, Meeting Mode, and an indication of on/off mics of the device. Mode switching is implemented by I2C commands, by overwriting only one register.

While Rich and Vin usually believe they all the answers to all the design-related questions, that may not always be the case. For example, when the question of where to begin your AI-based design came up, the “experts” felt in was prudent to bring in someone even more expert. In this case, that was Stuart Feffer, of Renesas.
