CHRISTIAN EDER, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AT CONGATEC AND EDITOR OF THE SMARC 2.1 SPECIFICATION
|
|
SMARC 2.0 modules stand out thanks to their large number of graphics, camera, sound, network and optional wireless interfaces. They therefore offer embedded system developers a complete, off-the-shelf, credit-card-sized embedded computing core that is ideal for both IoT connected multimedia platforms as well as many other graphics-intensive low-power applications. The updated specification SMARC 2.1 extends this feature set even further.

Rumors of a union between the world?s leading GPU provider and CPU IP vendor have been swirling for a couple of months now, but on Sunday night it became official: NVIDIA is purchasing Arm from Softbank for a reported $40 billion.
So now there are more questions than answers.

I?ve been sharing my thoughts on IIoT protocols for years, but more recently I?ve gotten a little bolder about comparing OPC UA with the benefits of MQTT. Full disclosure, I co-invented MQTT, an open standard, publish-subscribe network protocol, in 1999. So sure, I?ve always been an MQTT evangelist, but there is a reason MQTT has become the dominant messaging standard in IoT.

Formal verification is the process of comparing two designs written in a hardware description language (HDL) to ensure they are functionally equivalent. A subset of functional verification, it provides a critical first step in checking the functional equivalence of two designs without using simulation.

Living at the Edge can be tricky. That?s the Edge of the IoT that I?m referring to. When you?re one of the leading providers of microprocessors, as NXP clearly is, you have lots of questions that must be addressed. Two big ones concern security and AI. In this week?s Embedded Executives podcast, I spoke to NXP?s Ron Martino, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Business Line Edge Processing, to see hear the company?s responses to those important questions.

A recent study by McKinsey estimates that the IoT in the retail industry will have an economical impact ranging from approximately $410 billion to $1.2 trillion per year by 2025. Integrating IoT, machine learning and cloud computing services in the retail environment will not only reduce IT costs, but also streamline workflows.

I know I?m not supposed to have favorites, but what the Ambiq engineers have been able to accomplish is quite extraordinary. They have been able to achieve power levels that are below the competition, with performance that?s more than adequate. See the Garmin Forerunner 940 Smartwatch as an example (including my Tear Down report of said watch).

GigaDevice is a relatively new entrant to my radar. The company?s history is in memory products, but it is now a formidable player in the MCU space, both on the Arm and RISC-V sides (which is fairly unique).

There are many things to consider when moving to embedded Linux? from a real-time operating system (RTOS) for embedded projects. Based on pragmatic experience of helping customers through the decision making process and the actual transition, this white paper provides practical information, so developers can be fully aware of the trade-offs of moving to OSS and the often unmentioned hidden cost of managing a Linux distribution.

Multicore processors are being adopted at an increasing rate in embedded systems, which means that embedded developers have some important design decisions to make. One of the first is how to control and manage the multicore system: through a hypervisor or multicore framework?

When building an embedded system there are many choices you will face when deciding the correct hardware and software combinations to best get your product to market. Hardware capabilities, performance, power requirements, memory types, OS implications, packaging options, platform scalability and interoperability are just some of the considerations you will have to work through in the early stages.
