With the R&S ATS1800M, Rohde & Schwarz introduced an extension to the R&S ATS1800C, a compact antenna test range (CATR) based 5G NR mmWave test chamber for over-the-air (OTA) testing.

NI announced two new offerings to enhance testing environments and workflows for electric vehicle (EV) traction inverter validation: a new Inverter Test System (ITS) and a collaboration agreement with D&V Electronics for power-level inverter test. 

SensiML Corporation announced that it has teamed with onsemi to deliver a complete machine learning solution for autonomous sensor data processing and predictive modeling.

IAR Systems now provides IAR Build Tools for Arm with support for Linux and Windows installations, further extending IAR Systems’ offering for flexible automated workflows with automated builds.

SEGGER introduced embOS-Ultra, a new RTOS using Cycle-resolution Timing, designed to eliminate the periodic tick interrupt used by traditional RTOS. 

Working with real-time operating systems has historically been an esoteric endeavor – especially if the RTOS controls safety- and security-critical equipment like industrial machinery or advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). 

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a new bidirectional buck/boost converter with an ultra-low quiescent current (IQ) of 60 nA – one-third the IQ of competing boost converters.

aiMotive announced that Nextchip has licensed aiMotive’s latest generation aiWare4 hardware IP to deliver the CNN acceleration for their next-generation Apache6 SoC (System on Chip).

Cogniteam released its Nimbus operating system to offer developers a drag n' drop experience to enable the integration of spatial awareness tools, obstacle identification, navigation systems, cameras, LiDar, and more.
 

Featuring the 11th Generation Intel Core U processors (formerly Tiger Lake), the GENE-TGU6 subcompact embedded board is designed to deliver suitable performance and features to power applications from AI processing and Edge IoT, to digital signage and automation.

Arm is now offering an edX course, ArmEducationX, for those interested in getting started with embedded systems. Arm says the curriculum will prepare aspiring engineers for the “Fifth Wave of Computing,” a marketing term that encompasses AI, IoT, and 5G concepts.

NI announced the acquisition of NH Research, LLC (NHR), a leader in high power test and measurement applications such as electric vehicles (EV) and batteries. The transaction closed on October 19, 2021.

To amplify startup engagement Infineon signed a memorandum of understanding with Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai). Under this agreement, Infineon will support startups with product level technical expertise to enhance their success-rate and offer them the opportunity for closer collaboration within Infineon’s Co-Innovation Space in Singapore.

Renesas announced that its R-Car H3 and R-Car M3 system-on-chips (SoCs) have been adopted by Toyota Motor Corporation for their next-generation multimedia systems.

Imagimob announced that the new release of its tinyML platform is now available to its customers. The new release allows developers to build and deploy performance-ready tinyML applications on edge devices.

Infineon Technologies AG launched its first automotive current sensor: the new XENSIV TLE4972. The coreless current sensor uses Infineon’s Hall technology for precise and stable current measurements.

ADLINK Technology has joined forces with ecosystem partners Askey Computer Corp., the Institute for Information Industry (III), and Excellence Opto. Inc. (EOI) to develop and deploy an end-to-end C-V2X solution.

Infineon Technologies introduced the SLI37 automotive security controller: a trust anchor designed to secure safety-critical automotive applications like 5G-ready eUICC (eCall), V2X communication, car access, or SOTA updates.

TDK Corporation announced the release of its newly developed ADL3225VM inductors for use in automotive Power over Coax (PoC) systems.
