Embedded computing has become more of an underlying force driving automotive technology than even gasoline in the last few years. The proof can be found in every auto show, and how much they are dominated by software vendors and embedded computing solutions. Not to mention the degree to which technology shows like CES and embedded world have been filled with automotive-targeted technology and solutions.

We’re in the era of quantum computing. That brings with it a lot of great things. But at the same time, it brings some not so good things. Once again, we’re in a race to stay ahead of the bad guys to keep our systems secure. 

Folks like the experts at Infineon are doing what they can to do just that. And the best part is that they are trying to insulate their customers from having to deal with all the different measures that must be put in place. 

Hear from Erik Wood, Infineon’s Senior Director of Microcontroller Cryptography and Product Security, to see if this sounds like a fit for your design. Check out this week’s Embedded Executives podcast to learn more.

Munich, Germany. Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) is taking a major step forward in the wireless human input device (HID) space. The company just announced that its AIROC™ CYW20829 Bluetooth® LE microcontroller (MCU) and SDK have been verified under Intel’s “Engineered for Intel® Evo™” laptop accessory program, making it the first Bluetooth HID solution to earn that distinction. That’s a big deal.

Ditch the dongle with Engineered for Intel Evo, a verified program that meets Intel’s strict direct-to-host wireless connection requirements. Powered by Infineon’s CYW20829, the first program co-engineered with Intel at the chip and SDK level, physical security is enhanced while meeting CRA and RED certifications. This innovation brings significant advancement to the wireless connectivity space, streamlining development and elevating the user experience.

With the rising popularity of eBikes and eScooters, having wireless access to vital information, such as speed and map directions, is key to ensuring rider safety. With so many applications to choose from, this demo will focus on 20829’s peripheral support for automotive industry standards, such as CAN and LIN, while highlighting its versatility both as an MCU and Bluetooth LE chip.

In every industry, automation via machine learning or AI, or both, is the trend of the decade, so far. When paired with robotics, sensing, switching, and controls, the power of industrial automation to revolutionize manufacturing, warehousing, supply chain, mining, O&G, and almost any other industrial vertical is already showing.
