Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

Nordic Semiconductor, a low-power wireless connectivity solutions provider, recently announced the acquisition of its long-term partner, Memfault Inc., a cloud platform provider for large-scale deployments of connected products. This marks a major leap in Nordic’s evolution from a hardware supplier to a complete solution partner, according to the announcement.

Designing wearables with integrated AI /ML just got one step easier with Nordic Semiconductor’s acquisition of Neuton.AI. While the two companies had already been working together, you can expect a lot more integration between Nordic’s MCUs and the very low-power AI IP that Neuton.AI has become famous for. 

On this week’s Embedded Executives podcast. I spoke to Øyvind Strom, the EVP of Nordic’s Short-Range Business Unit. He explains why a developer should sit up and take notice, and what the design community can expect from this powerful combination down the road.

Nordic Semiconductor announced its acquisition of intellectual property and core technology assets of Neuton.AI. The procurement combines Nordic’s nRF54 Series ultra-low power wireless SoCs with Neuton.AI’s neural network framework to deliver scalable, high-performance AI for ML at the edge.
