Data in flash memory is arranged in a hierarchy of cells, pages, and blocks, with data written a page at a time. NAND flash memory architecture is such that erasing can only occur at the block level. Also, access to the data in a solid state drive (SSD) is usually localized. There will be some data that is rarely used, or only accessed for reading, and other data that is frequently updated.

With the inception of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, smart city initiatives have become a reality in many parts of the world. To begin with, IoT is not dependent on geographical locations or complexity ratios like population and per unit area of a city. In fact, with increased migration towards developed landscapes, there is an ever-increasing need for cities to effectively accommodate the surging population.

Microchip?s PolarFire SoC FPGA Icicle Kit is an evaluation platform for the company?s mid-range PolarFire SoC FPGA family, a portfolio of RISC-V-based devices that contain secure hardware features, are capable of running off-the-shelf Linux and/or real-time operating systems (RTOS), and consume up to 60 percent less power than competing FPGA solutions, according to the company.

This white paper focuses on the Open Memory Interface (OMI) and how it addresses the needs of near memory. Innovations in memory infrastructure are poised to significantly improve the performance and cost effectiveness of mainstream data center applications. Business applications are under significant pressure to collect, analyze, store and deliver time-sensitive value to end customers while simultaneously driving down costs.

Over the past two decades Nuvation Engineering has developed data acquisition systems for a wide range devices and market applications. Based on our experience performing hundreds of engineering design projects, our engineers have identified several key considerations that require special attention during the planning, design, and development of data acquisition systems in harsh environments.

This white paper addresses how you can protect your application?s IP with development tools that integrate seamlessly into your design workflow, potentially eliminating man years of engineering time while keeping your end products safe and secure.

OEMs in nearly every industry are becoming software-driven. But while software can provide differentiation, inefficiencies in internal development teams can throttle product innovation and lengthen time to market. These inefficiencies are often based on a growing array of one-off design decisions, each leading to different hardware and software technology choices that need to be managed and supported by some of the company?s most valuable development resources.

According to IDC, there will be an estimated 42 billion connected devices by 2025. Each of these devices represents a point of entry that can be exploited by a cyberattack. For devices and systems with safety-critical functionality, a security breach can have catastrophic consequences. Security becomes even more paramount than safety.

Nuvation Engineering has designed and developed numerous electronics products. Over the course of these projects, we have identified several key considerations when deciding between Off the Shelf (OTS) hardware versus custom hardware.

A sensor device that triggers a certain function when an object is either present or not may sound simple. But in reality, there are numerous factors to consider in order to avoid false positive readings or detection errors. These can include failure to detect object presence and false positives when the sensor mistakenly senses a presence within the alert zone even when there is no actual object.
