ModBlox7 introduces an open standard to proprietary multi-billion USD market

The NVIDIA/Arm transaction may have fallen through, but that isn’t the only momentous merger and acquisition that’s been on the table in the embedded technology space.

Data is the foundation of smart factory and Industry 4.0 value, and that data is captured by sensors at the edge. Transforming that data into intelligence requires the convergence of the IT and OT domains, which begins with smart sensors.

congatec welcomed the publication of the COM-HPC Carrier Board Design Guide by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG) with the launch of a fully specification compliant ecosystem for engineers of COM-HPC Client and Server module based designs.

Embedded systems are specified for varying requirements, typically based on the application it will drive. It could be long life, low power, small size, or maximum compute power. If your application fits the latter category—maximum compute power—then the ADLINK Technology COM-HPC Ampere Altra server module likely fits the bill for you.

The PICMG has defined a set of standardized side-band/out-of-band management commands for the recently published COM-HPC Server-on-Module standard. It is called the COM-HPC Platform Management Interface specification, or COM-HPC PMI for short.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Brandon and Rich ponder the possible reasons NVIDIA’s acquisition of Arm is on the brink of collapse.
