Embedded Computing Design

The company formerly known as National Instruments is known simply as NI. Is that a big deal? Maybe, depending on who you ask. So I asked Carla Piñeyro Sublett, NI's Chief Marketing Officer.

Ellen has to determine what markets are going to be hot and why when it comes to IoT. I ask her to share of those details on this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

Maxim Ventures has already seen some level of success, as Chris Neil, a Senior Vice President of Maxim Ventures, explains in this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

In this week's Embedded Executives podcast, I spoke to NXP's Ron Martino, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Business Line Edge Processing.

GigaDevice is a new entrant to my radar. The company's history is in memory products, but it is now a formidable player in the MCU space, both on the Arm and RISC-V sides (which is fairly unique).

There's no denying the impact Bluetooth has had on the lives of consumers, and to the credit of the embedded community, innovation continues to occur in that space, at a healthy pace.

Ambiq just announced the next generation of its SoC CPU family, named Apollo4. The parts are built on TSMC's 22-nm ULL process.

We are seeing an increase in the use of AI for medical/healthcare applications. There are many advantages that can be realized through the use of Medical AI.

RISC-V gets a lot of attention as an open-source ISA. Is that attention warranted? The answer, unfortunately, is that it depends. It depends on what problem you're trying to solve.

Firmware is becoming the new software. If you believe that, as Bob Scaccia, President and CEO of USA Firmware does, we are at the beginning of a new era, and we had better be prepared for it.

It is quite innovative, if it's for you. I'm referring to a smart phone app developed by Maxim Integrated, called the Essential Analog IC smartphone app.

To understand how to design at the Edge, I spoke to Steven Wu, Vice President of the Research and Development Center at DFI in this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

The bandwidth for LoRaWAN is really low, compared to something like WiFi. However, if you use the protocol for things that don't require high bandwidth, it works well (at least I was surprised).

The company is close to commercializing wireless charging, where the charging is done at a distance of a few feet. Check out this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

Blaize introduced the company's first AI computing hardware and software solutions aimed specifically at the Edge of the IoT, dubbed the Pathfinder and Xplorer platforms and the AI Software Suite.

I invited Vineet Ganju, a Vice President at Synaptics as my guest on this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

As the technology gets pushed out to the Edge of the IoT, the number of uses climbs considerably. Developers are moving quickly toward deployment of their AI architectures.

Deploying artificial intelligence and machine learning at the Edge of the IoT has long been the Holy Grail for design engineers.

As Greg Nicoloso, the CEO of SECO USA explained, the company doesn't want to be a medical-device supplier, but they do want to be a supplier to the companies that supply medical devices. Tune In.

I interviewed Phil Beecher, President of the Wi-SUN Alliance in this week's Embedded Executives podcast.
