AMD announced the completion of its acquisition of Xilinx in an all-stock transaction.

Xilinx and Motovis, a provider of embedded AI autonomous driving, announced that the two companies are collaborating on a solution that pairs the Xilinx Automotive (XA) Zynq system-on-chip (SoC) platform and Motovis’ convolutional neural network (CNN) IP to the automotive market, specifically for forward camera systems’ vehicle perception and control.

The KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit is based on Xilinx’s Kria K26 system on module, which is a … wait, wait, wait. A system on module from Xilinx?

Versal ACAP devices are used for a wide range of applications such as data center, Wireless 5G, AI/ML, A & D Radars, Automotive, and wired applications.

In what may come as a surprise given all of the recent turbulence in electronics markets, Xilinx, the supplier of programmable logic device technology, reported growth across several of their core business units.

The speed with which edge AI ecosystems like TinyML are evolving has made standardization difficult, much less the creation of performance and resource utilization benchmarks that could simplify technology evaluation. Edge AI benchmarks would be hugely beneficial to the ML industry as they could help accelerate solution comparison, selection, and the productization process.

In this episode of the Embedded Insiders, Brandon and Rich wonder if residential solar power is really worth it. The question stems from Littelfuses’ release of 400PV Fuse series of photovoltaic solar fuses, which can be embedded directly into roof shingles or tiles. But with so much government meddling in the solar industry, and big energy looking to protect its existing interests, is it prudent, or even worth it, to bother with the technology?
