Hello Embedded Professionals, Engineers, and Developers! Welcome to the 50th episode of In Case You Missed It, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design. A huge thanks to all of you who’ve stuck with us! If you’re just seeing this for the first time – welcome and subscribe!
It’s Friday February 20, 2026, I’m Ken Briodagh, Editor in Chief of Embedded Computing Design and these are our top stories this week.
First up, a new study from Circuit Mind is showing that AI-powered automation is driving measurable gains in electronics design workflows. The independent, data-supported research report includes a peer-reviewed assessment by Los Alamos National Laboratory, in addition to commercial engineering teams reporting how they’re using AI to speed up circuit architecture innovation, schematic generation, and initial verification.
Our next story comes from Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, and Arm. All these big names are joining forces to shape the Next Generation of Distributed Computing, according to a recent blog from contributor Bhanu Handa of Dell Technologies. The article compares how Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, and Arm pursue edge AI differently and offers CIOs a practical decision framework to align silicon, thermals, and software ecosystems with real workloads and operating constraints.
Finally, we’re featuring a preview of news from the upcoming embedded world in our Road to embedded world series. At the show in Nuremburg next month, PQShield will showcase its post-quantum cryptography for embedded hardware including its quantum-safe secure boot, side-channel protection against physical attack, and PQC-secure TLS.
Speaking of embedded world, our Embedded Computing Design team is in high gear getting ready to return to Nuremburg Germany yet again for the biggest embedded-focused show in the world because we are going to bring you even more video, audio, and news content than ever. Check out our event guide for tips, tricks, and tactics for getting the most out of your participation.
