Embedded Computing Design

Blox is an innovative modular hardware platform for edge AI applications built around the NVIDIA Jetson family.

Small-sized edge AI computing platform (box-shaped) to run AI inference tasks (AI visual focused)

RV-3032-C7 is a High Performance Temperature Compensated Real-Time Clock Module with I²C interface which offers the world's best time accuracy across industrial temperature range at ultra-low current consumption.

Combining prepaid cellular connectivity, low-power design, and secure "off-the-internet" communications in one 30mm x 35mm System-on-Module, the Notecard is an innovative, developer-friendly device-to-cloud data pump.

Due to industrial computers' high customization, and small fan-less design, most of the LAN cards almost all come in mini-PCIe or M.2 form factor.

Device cloud connectivity is difficult and time consuming because it requires Wi-Fi, embedded systems, antenna design, cloud configuration and coding experience.

AWS IoT ExpressLink powers a range of hardware modules developed and offered by AWS Partners, such as Espressif, Infineon, and u-blox.

1NCE is the first company to offer Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and software service at a lifetime global flat rate – currently available in 110+ countries (140+ by the end of 2022).

The LoRa Edge™ LR1120 is an ultra-low power chip targeting global geolocation applications.

RSL15 is an ultra-low power secure Arm® Cortex®M33 processor-based Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) designed for connected smart devices in industrial and medical.

Networked devices that connect to the cloud and each other are inherently susceptible to cyberattack. To ensure built-in defenses are robust as possible, these systems must be protected from the time of manufacture until their decommissioning. This includes the unique identities that allow IoT devices to authenticate over PKI infrastructure.

Cybersecurity issues continue to plague modern electronic devices and will only continue to do so as quantum computing becomes mainstream. This powerful new class of processor is poised to break standard encryption and the PKI infrastructure that’s used by desktops, laptops, tablets, IoT devices, network infrastructure platforms, and more to authenticate who, or what, they’re communicating with.

In electronics, the need for greater storage capacity and faster data transfer rates is never-ending. But now, with the explosion of mobile and IoT devices, more space and faster speeds have been joined by the requirement that flash memory and flash memory controllers consume less and less space on resource-constrained device PCBs.

Of course, systems deployed in embedded or industrial environments often need the extra dimensions of robust reliability and extended temperature support as well.

We’re less than two weeks out from Embedded World (June 21-23, Nuremberg, Germany). In the Embedded Computing Design booth (Hall 1, Booth 121), you can view a host of technology presentations.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Brandon and Rich explore the imminent ratification of the MATTR standard and what opportunities it could introduce in real, regular life situations.

High-performance computing is now a requirement in the aerospace and defense industry where capabilities like computer and machine vision, AI edge computing, and sensor data fusion are critical to mission success. The massive amount of data captured and processed in these use cases also means high-bandwidth interconnects are required, too.

If you’re looking to deploy this functionality on top of existing infrastructure, like so many in long-lifecycle industries are, you may be staring down the barrel of a massive electronics systems upgrade. Or, you take advantage of solutions like the VPX3U-ORIN-CX6-SBC from WOLF Advanced Technology.

5G connectivity and demand for edge computing have made hyperconverged infrastructure mandatory. If only that infrastructure was user-friendly, easily-deployable, and available off the shelf.

On this episode of the Embedded Insiders, Brandon and Rich discuss whether the IoT is “newer” than M2M or connected embedded, or has the name just changed while the definition remains the same? Perhaps it’s not new, it’s just moved to the edge and adopted “new” capabilities.

Intelligent edge computing appliances frequently demand AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology. When it comes to applications that require intelligent video analysis operating at the edge, having access to an AI accelerator card that can offer offload CPU loading and the instant ability to plug into intelligent transport systems (ITS), smart cities, smart retail, and Industry 4.0 applications to improve performance, is ideal for these compute-intensive operations.

On this episode, the Insiders ponder the future of embedded engineering in light of Arm’s release of its Total Solutions for IoT. How far along in the development process can engineers get virtually, before they even have silicon in their hands?
