Embedded Computing Design

In Part 1 and Part 2, we looked at how EDF and PI scheduling support real-time database behavior, and why true timing guarantees also depend on precise measurement, predictable rollback, well-placed verification points, and profiling on real hardware.

One of the toughest challenges with solving predictive maintenance, enabled by AI, is that there is usually no data available for training the system. Modern equipment may not break down for 5 years or more so there is insufficient data when the product is first launched on when and how it will break down. But AI systems using traditional methods such as Deep Learning can only operate when sufficiently large volumes of data are available for training the system and hence, they are incapable of addressing this problem.

Avalue Technology Inc. announced the ECM-ASL3 3.5-inch industrial single-board computer compatible with Intel Alder Lake-N, Amston Lake, and even Twin Lake platforms permitting rapid upgrades to product lines with minimal adjustments. The solution is ideal for edge AI, smart manufacturing, automation, automotive equipment and medical monitoring.

One of the most impactful areas for businesses to deploy AI is in digital signage. AI-driven digital can deliver personalized content, respond instantly to changing conditions, and make every interaction more meaningful. A challenge that comes with deploying this kind of AI-powered digital signage is ensuring the content is flexible enough to adapt to different display sizes or settings, or to simplify the content so it can fit any display.

AI is moving from the cloud to the edge. In product after product, we see ever more intelligence being brought to the edge, and to the devices that reside there.

albatron.ai launched its first embedded AI computing system, the TALO-25000, powered by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and engineered to deliver enhanced AI performance for mission-critical industrial applications. The system supports up to 275 TOPS AI performance utilizing Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU and Ampere GPU ideal for industrial automation and robotic intelligence.

In this PSOC Edge demo, we show examples of how easily PSOC Edge can enable voice control for applications such as thermostats, wearables, and smart appliances, with a companion DEEPCRAFT™ Voice Assistant software. The AI acceleration of PSOC Edge enables voice commands at a fraction of the compute power, making it very energy efficient. 

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, in a sponsored segment, we’re joined by Jeff Baldwin, Director of Engineering at Sealevel Systems, to talk through best practices for designing at the edge and how Sealevel Systems can help, especially when rugged systems meet AI workloads.

This article explores the various sources of noise in switching regulators and their impact on different analog signal chain components. It highlights several noise mitigation strategies, including the use of low dropout (LDO) regulators as effective postregulation filters. The article also shows a range of solutions from Analog Devices (ADI) that deliver optimized LDO efficiency across varying load conditions and output voltages, while pairing good power supply noise rejection. One solution offers a new method for LDOs to control the headroom provided by switching regulators with current reference architectures.

San Diego, CA, 2 December 2025 – Taoglas, a trusted provider of advanced RF and antenna solutions, today announced the expansion of its embedded antenna portfolio with a new range of Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) chip antennas optimized for Wi-Fi 6/7, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and ISM connectivity. The new ILA.257, ILA.68, and ILA.89 deliver ideal performance in ultra-compact packages - with minimal keep out area - designed for next-generation IoT, consumer, industrial, and wearable applications where space, efficiency, and reliability are critical.
