Embedded Computing Design

Hype about the RISC-V market has been rising consistently since the first board was released in 2015, but developments over the last 18 months merit closer examination, and we’ve been digging in.

According to a recent announcement, STMicroelectronics has released a new microcontroller (MCU) that is designed to fuse wireless-device design with high-performance and efficient architecture. The company said that the novel power-saving features will enable the battery life in the new wireless MCU to extend beyond 15 years.

Microsoft has decided to make Azure RTOS open source via the Eclipse Foundation, according to a recent post on the company’s Internet of Things blog by Stefan Wick, Product Management Lead in Azure IoT at Microsoft.

In a recent release, IBASE announced its new IB961 3.5" Single Board Computer (SBC), which the company said has been engineered for performance, connectivity, and versatility. The IB961 comes loaded with the 13th Gen Intel Core processors, including the i7-1370PE, i5-1340PE, i5-1335UE, and i3-1320PE.

As new applications, use cases and connected devices multiply, Western Digital is deploying advanced hard disk drive (HDD) technologies to help data centers design more cost-efficient, scalable and sustainable infrastructure. In a recent release, the company announced that it is now shipping its new 10-disk 24TB CMR HDD family for hyperscale, cloud and enterprise data center customers.

Ever since Mark Zuckerberg went all in on the Metaverse, the excitement (and therefore, the hype) has been huge. Mostly it’s been used for recreation and entertainment via the VR headsets and controllers, but Meta wants it to revolutionize work, most of all. With that goal in mind, where are we now?

The automotive industry is rapidly transforming into a software-driven one (if you’ll pardon the pun), and some would say it is already there. Along with the advantages that brings, comes the need for heightened security measures.

The holy grail of Edge AI is in the meeting of computer vision, audio/visual processing, low-latency algorithmic processing and energy efficiency. Now, in a recent announcement Cadence Design Systems, has made public an expansion of its Tensilica HiFi and Vision DSP families that accomplish just that goal.

Silicon Labs has announced the expansion of its microcontroller unit (MCU) development platform with a new family of 8-bit MCUs that the company said are designed to optimize for price and performance.

According to a recent release, Microchip Technology has accelerated the development path for several Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Double Density (QSFP-DD) and Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) Active Electrical Cable (AEC) products using its META-DX2C 800G retimer.

Everyone is buzzing about the amazing excitement and good vibes of this year’s RISC-V Summit, hosted by RISC-V International. The talk around the coffee bar is all about growth, opportunity, and possibility.

It’s been a banner day here at the Santa Clara Convention Center for the RISC-V Summit.

This week on DevKit Weekly, we're going to take a look at the Sona IF573 from Laird Connectivity.

In a recent release, Imperas Software, a RISC-V simulation solutions company, announced that it has teamed up with Tenstorrent, an AI computing company, to make available a model of the Tenstorrent Ascalon processor core as part of the Imperas RISC-V model library.

In a recent release, STMicroelectronics announced its new ACEPACK DMT-32 family of silicon carbide (SiC) power modules for Automotive applications.

RISC-V is growing rapidly in adoption and attention and leading up to the RISC-V Summit, taking place in Santa Clara November 7 and 8, Codasip has introduced its 700 family of RISC-V baseline processors, designed for custom embedded solutions of all types, and it’s also announced the industry’s first commercial implementation of the Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) security technology for RISC-V.

This week on DevKit Weekly, we're going to take a look at the Sensortile.Box Pro from STMicroelectronics.

The CSA has announced the second update to Matter, version 1.2. It is now available for device makers and platforms to use, and this new version is reportedly loaded with nine new device types, revisions, and additions to existing categories, several core improvements to the specification and SDK, and new certification and testing tools.

If you’ve been paying any attention at all, you know that generative AI tools are being used to create content in all sorts of areas, from visual art to television and movie scripts and news articles, and for many companies in the embedded space, code.

Today, NVIDIA announced a broad series of major updates to its Isaac robotics platform. The announcements came at the ROSCon 2023 event.
