Embedded Computing Design

Exascend has expanded its flagship Industrial-grade PCIe Gen4 PI4 series with 8 TB M.2 SSDs, up from 4 TB previously. With a two-fold increase in storage capacity, the PI4 series now makes it possible to handle incredible rates of data generation with only a single M.2 SSD, supercharging automotive, data logging, mission-critical and rugged edge applications with its extreme capacity and industrial-grade DNA.

With the industry's greatest capacity of 8TB (supports 4TB with industrial temperature grade), UDinfo has introduced industrial PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 2280 SSDs to support users in IoT, 5G, smart factories, medical, transportation, and other applications.

Menta provides eFPGA IP for integration into SoC/ASIC. Menta's design-adaptive, third-party, standard cells based architecture and tool set provide a high degree of design customization, testability, and fast time-to-volume for SoC designs targeting any production node at any foundry.

STM32H5 MCUs contain the embedded core from Arm®, the Cortex®-M33, which blends high performance with security, energy efficiency, and affordability to best address the mid-range class of MCU-based applications.

The EMSA5-FS is a 32-bit, in-order, single-issue, five-stage pipeline processor supporting the open standard RISC-V ISA. Its fail-safe features include built-in triple or double modular redundancy, error correction code bus protection, a configurable memory protection unit, privileged operation modes, and Reset and Safety Manager Modules.

The eDNP/8331 consists of a microcontroller circuit based on an Arm Cortex-A7 SoC clocked at 1008 MHz, 128 MB of SDRAM, PMICs for all required voltages, and an SD card interface for the firmware. An eDNP/8331 is delivered as a CAD data intellectual property object for embedded system hardware development with Altium Designer.

The GD32E230 series of Arm Cortex-M23 MCUs brings customers the advantages of small size, cost optimization, energy efficiency, and flexibility while supporting security extension requirements to run the latest embedded application solutions.

AndesCore™ N25F-SE is a 32-bit CPU IP core that supports ISO 26262 ASIL B level functional safety for automotive applications. Approved based on the functional safety assignments of a Safety Element Out-of-Context (SEooC), which includes the ISO 26262 compliant development process and the qualitative approach with respect to hardware safety analysis, N25F-SE is certified to be used in safety-related applications.

Amazon and Silicon Labs introduced the first complete, end to end certified development platform for Amazon Sidewalk. Amazon Sidewalk is a shared low-bandwidth network that helps smart home devices work better at home and beyond the front door via Sidewalk Bridge devices.

EmbedOps is an embedded DevOps lifecycle orchestration tool that helps embedded firmware teams tackle the challenges of creating and maintaining consistent build and test environments from code development all the way to production deployment and sustaining engineering.

Klika Techs Asset Tracking (ASTRA) and Intelligence Platform allows users to capitalize on actionable data insights quickly and efficiently. This fully open system allows you to select your preferred asset tracker and seamlessly integrate it into your existing platform. You can also implement a customized version of this platform tailored to meet your current and future needs cost effectively.

Microchip’s new LAN8650 and LAN8651 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHY Ethernet Controllers with SPI Interface simplify the implementation of zonal architectures by enabling basic MCUs, rather than higher-level MCUs with a MAC, to be used when creating sensors, actuators, and other devices for the edge of OT and IT networks.

Memfault’s IoT reliability platform accelerates go-to-market, derisks product launch, and cuts product costs. Memfault offers device reliability engineering tools (DREs) so developers can solve operational challenges via fleet observability, remote debugging, and smart firmware over-the-air (OTA) management. Memfault’s platform provides product, engineering, and support teams with deep insights into embedded device performance, irrespective of the hardware.

FG25 is the new flagship SoC for Wi-SUN, which is one of the world’s first open protocols for smart city and smart utility applications. By providing flexibility and versatility for large-scale IoT wireless communication networks, Wi-SUN is designed to make major community infrastructure scalable, safer, more efficient, and sustainable. EFF01 is the FG25’s corresponding front-end module that boosts the FG25’s signal range by 2x when used together.

Micro displays are no longer a thing of the future. With the products available today, OEMs can design systems that are power efficient, and produce high brightness and high contrast images. One example of a micro display comes from Wisechip, with its direct viewing miniature near-eye system mini OLEDs. The OLEDs provide clear information even in backlight by showing simple data and strings.

Threats from outside sources are a huge concern to developers, OEMs, and end-system providers. Detecting those threats is one part of the solution. The other part is the incident response. To that end, Exein, a global cybersecurity company specializing in IoT devices, is offering its Exein Runtime, which as its name implies, is a state-of-the-art runtime threat detection and incident response solution (XDR) for Linux- and RTOS-based IoT systems. The below video does a good job explaining how it works.

There’s been no lack of innovation in the automobile over the past few years, particularly in the non-mission-critical department, where modern cars are getting all the bells and whistles that consumers have become accustomed to, like now-mainstream touch displays.

The IoT has required products to be developed in many ancillary categories, particularly when it comes to communications. For example, Synaptics recently announced the SYN4778, what it claims is the industry’s the smallest, lowest power, most accurate Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) IC.
