Embedded Computing Design

One of the key messages to come out of embedded world in Nuremburg, Germany this year was that Embedded computing is becoming increasingly more entwined with IoT systems and AI applications and that customers are looking for these all-in-one solutions at every opportunity. And it's no surprise that the first fertile furrows to plant are the sensor integration and energy efficiency rows. 

A new ebook on edge technology for industrial computing has come out from Premio, a rugged edge embedded computing and industrial display technology company.

The Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) is the automotive buzzword of the year so far, but most of what we’ve been seeing is either infotainment, or prognostication and promise about Ai-driven automated cars of the future.

One of the major threads running through this year’s embedded world was the growing entwining of IoT and embedded computing. It seemed that almost every player, especially at the edge, was touting their ability to bring AI and IoT to the Edge, with more power and embedded tech.

The power, form factor, and especially efficiency of embedded systems is encouraging more sustainable and eco-friendly solutions all over the world. In particular, materials like GaN are making the compromises much easier to adopt, even at the edge.

Percepio is a Swedish company dedicated to what it calls observability in Embedded systems, and in a series of recent news announcements, it’s shown that the identification and elimination of bugs in software is the core of that observability.

It is a beautiful week here in Nurembug, Germany and embedded world is kicking off big time tonight when we’re announcing the Embedded Computing Design Best in Show Award winners (keep watching this space for that announcement, later today!).

For enterprises and SMBs, knowing that your memory is always reliable, fast, and feature-rich is no longer a “nice-to-have” feature. AI and other high-intensity workloads need to run 24x7 and be available in real-time, at all times.

In a new release, semiconductor company Ambiq has revealed its Apollo510, the first member of the company’s Apollo5 SoC family, designed to drive efficient and low-latency AI processing.

The story of the second day at NVIDIA GTC in San Jose is Embedded AI for Edge, at least that was the story I was hearing again and again from the folks that I talked to on the show floor.

At NVIDIA GTC, NXP Semiconductors and NVIDIA announced a new collaboration to enable NVIDIA’s trained AI models to be deployed on NXP’s portfolio of edge processing devices through the eIQ machine learning development environment.

The SAP Arena was absolutely madcap and packed in the leadup to the opening keynote from Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, at NVIDIA GTC 2024.

In a recent announcement, Emerson has revealed its new PACSystems IPC 2010 Compact Industrial PC (IPC), which is designed to be a rugged industrial computer suited to machine and discrete part manufacturing automation applications.

Recently, the People Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences in China published a patent for a new RISC-V chip, designed for high-performance applications.

Today, Silicon Valley-based start-up Ethernovia announced that it is offering a sampling of automotive PHY transceivers designed to scale from 10 Gbps to 1 Gbps over 15 meters of automotive cabling, reportedly at the industry’s lowest power. The company said this advancement will be critical for software-defined vehicles (SDV) to deliver the highest level of safety in the next generation of intelligent driving systems.

In a recent announcement, PICMG, the consortium for open hardware specifications, released InterEdge, a modular architecture for process control systems (PCS). The IEC 61499 and IEC 61131-compatible InterEdge specification reportedly offers an interoperable, multi-vendor alternative to proprietary Industrial PCs (IPCs), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and Distributed Control Systems (DCSs).

In a recent release, Silicon Labs announced it will be creating the underlying Matter technology for a new series of native Matter-over-Thread smart locks. The company says these are the first commercially available examples of this technology in Smart Locks.

Matter is fast becoming the only Smart Home standard that… matters. Now, Silicon Labs and Arduino have partnered up to help developers go from new board to commissioned device faster than ever, speeding time to market.

In a recent release, Cadence Design Systems has announced its Millennium Enterprise Multiphysics Platform, which the company says is the industry’s first hardware/software (HW/SW) accelerated digital twin solution for multiphysics system design and analysis.

Silanna Semiconductor, a company specialized to improve power management, power density, and efficiency performance, is poised to announce its full portfolio of AC/DC and DC/DC products at the upcoming Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC).
