Embedded Computing Design

Engineers are usually good at engineering, but writing? That’s a different story. In many cases, lacking the ability to write well can hurt engineers. This rears its ugly head when these engineers are job hunting. Having mis-spellings and bad grammar on a resume is a huge red flag. This is particularly true for some real cherry jobs attracting numerous applications.

To understand what this means and the effect it could have on an engineer’s future, I brought back Marcus Webster, who is the principal of Webster & Webster Associates. Marcus last spoke to us about the engineering shortage. Check out this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Fibocom, a global provider of IoT (Internet of Things) wireless solutions and wireless communication modules, announced it is proud of winning the Embedded Computing Design’s Best in Show award during Embedded World 2024 with groundbreaking empowerment and excellent performance of its 5G premium smart module SC171 in the 5G mining industry.

Phoenix, AZ, April 8^th, 2024. Embedded Computing Design (ECD), a division of OpenSystems Media, and the leading source of how-to design and development information for the embedded industry, today announced that PTC Perc has been named as a winner of its embedded world Best in Show Awards in the category of Security. All entries are assessed by the Editorial Team based on Design Excellence, Relative Performance and Market Impact.

With a new offering hitting the shelves, I thought it was a good time to catch up with Jason Kridner, the Co-Founder and Board President of BeagleBoard.org.

The Embedded Kit recently conducted a survey to understand the biggest challenges facing an embedded developer. You would think those challenges are obvious, and some of them are, but the survey uncovered some fairly interesting areas that are not so obvious.

At the recent Advantech World Partner Conference, the company made a serious focus on two key themes:

• Edge evolution, which is all about shaping the future of embedded and emerging businesses;
• Working with partners, with solutions from Edge to Cloud.

Timing devices within embedded systems are likely the most important components that you don’t know anything about. That’s a paraphrase from Piyush Sevalia, a Vice President at SiTime, and it’s certainly very true.
 

Phoenix, Arizona, January 12th, 2024. Embedded Computing Design, an OpenSystems Media (OSM) property, announces its new Embedded AI & Machine Learning E-newsletter and LinkedIn Newsletter in January 2024 (distributed weekly). With a combined circulation of more than 13,000 engineers globally, coverage in the newsletters will include such AI-related topics as IoT, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics, TinyML, Safety/Security, Industry 4.0, Edge Computing, and Sensors. It will also provide coverage of CES, Embedded World, Mobile World Congress, NVIDIA GTC, Computex, and Sensors Converge.

Are you familiar with Raspberry Pi? Of course you are. But are you aware of all the things that you can do with it, or should do with it? First, if you think it’s a low-compute-power board, you are mistaken. Second, if you think you can’t go to production with a Pi, you’d be mistaken again. If you don’t believe me, listen to what Eben Upton, the Founder of Raspberry Pi had to say in this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Phoenix, AZ, December 18, 2023. Embedded Computing Design, an OpenSystems Media property, announces its 4th Annual Best in Show Awards at CES 2024. CES is the most powerful tech event in the world—the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), CES is the only trade show that showcases the entire tech landscape at one event.
