STMicroelectroncs' STEVAL-ASTRA1B multi-connectivity evaluation platform is a complete, small form factor, battery-powered ecosystem for building complete proof-of-concept for asset tracking systems. This evaluation kit's included firmware simplifies development-targeted applications like fleet management and logistics.

STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor company, released version 4.20 of its TouchGFX user interface design software for STM32 microcontrollers. Updates in this version enable support for the company's NeoChrom graphics accelerator, integrated in ST's advanced MCUs.

Here’s what you’ll need if you want to build an industrial IoT sensor node:

• The intelligence to convert, filter, and in some cases analyze, analog signals at the edge
• Enough efficiency to run for long periods on minimal resources
• Some amount of connectivity
• And because of that, local security

Oh yeah, you’ll probably want to start thinking about compliance with safety standards like IEC 61508, too.

Upon visiting the STMicroelectronics booth at the recent embedded world trade show, I stumbled across some interesting software aimed at developing your own machine-learning applications.

CARIAD, the software unit of Volkswagen Group, and STMicroelectronics will shortly launch the joint development of an automotive system-on-chip (SoC), a new cooperation model for software-defined cars.

STMicroelectronics has released STM32Cube.AI version 7.2.0, the first artificial-intelligence (AI) development tool by an MCU vendor to support ultra-efficient deeply quantized neural networks. 

The STMicroelectronics VNF1048F automotive high-side switch controller combines enhanced system-protection and diagnostic features with ST’s I2-t silicon-fuse technology.
