There's SiFive's quad-core RISC-V development board, the wireless versions of NXP's MCX MCUs, Arm's most powerful microcontroller-grade neural processor, and our roundup of the latest Embedded World 2024 news...

Alif Semiconductor has put an Arm Ethos-U55 neural processor alongside a Bluetooth Low Energy radio in a microcontroller for AI and machine learning workloads – all in a tine WLCSP package. It is called Balletto. “Balletto gives manufacturers the opportunity to implement AI/ML functions such as speech recognition, adaptive noise cancellation, vocal targeting and beam forming in true wireless stereo ...

Arm has announced its most powerful microcontroller-grade neural processor, which will reach 4Top/s in its maximum configuration and is 20% more power efficient that its previous neural processors. Named Ethos-U85 and configurable with between 128 and 2,048 MACs, it is intended to have enough performance to locally run heavy AI algorithms such as ‘transformers’, as well as convolutional neural networks. ...

Custom vision-based AI software created on Nvidia’s Tao tool set can be run on Arm based Cortex-M, Cortex-A and Ethos-U microcontrollers according to Edge Impulse, which teamed up with Nvidia to create the work-flow. “Engineers can create computer vision models that can be deployed to hardware including NXP I.MXRT1170, Alif E3, STMicro STM32H747AI and Renesas CK-RA8D1,” according to Edge Impulse. ...

Taiwanese SoC design house Faraday Technology is collaborating with Arm and Intel on a 64-core system-on-chip, intended to be made with Arm Neoverse data-centre-grade cores using Intel’s 18A (nominally 1.8nm) foundry process – the latter due to become available at the end of this year. It will use Arm Neoverse Compute Subsystems (CSS, pictured), where “Arm delivers validated, performance-optimised compute ...

Infineon has announced a family microcontrollers combining an Arm Cortex-M55 core (including ‘Helium’ DSP support), an Arm Ethos-U55 machine learning processor, and an Arm Cortex-M33 core, which has in-built security, paired with Infineon’s own ‘NNLite’ neural network accelerator. “Support for ‘always-on’ sensing and response makes the devices ideal for IoT and industrial segments such as smart home, security, wearables and ...

Renesas has revealed more on the Arm Cortex-M85 based microcontrollers it announced at Embedded World in May, and started shipping them today. Initial parts are general-purpose and consigned to what Renesas has named the RA8M1 group of the RA8 series. Common specs of RA8M1 parts are: 480MHz Cortex-M85 with Helium and TrustZone, 1 or 2Mbyte programme flash, 12kbyte data flash, ...

Arm Total Design brings together a group of partners to accelerate and simplify the development of Neoverse CSS-based systems. The  partners will benefit from preferential access to Neoverse CSS. In effort to facilitate industry-wide alignment on the fundamental interfaces and system architectures to accelerate innovation, Arm Total Design engages critical ecosystem expertise at every stage of SoC development, from hardware ...

Socionext, Arm and TSMC are to develop a power-optimised 32-core CPU chiplet in TSMCʼs 2nm silicon technology, aimed at hyperscale data centre server, 5/6G infrastructure, DPU and edge-of-network markets. This advanced CPU chiplet proof-of-concept using Arm Neoverse CSS technology is designed for single or multiple instantiations within a single package, along with IO and application-specific custom chiplets to optimize performance ...

Microchip has created a PIC32 family with a 300MHz 32bit Arm Cortex-M7 processor and hardware security, for industrial and consumer devices. “Application designers must consider implementing security functionality in their devices during the development process as security threats evolve and become more sophisticated,” said Microchip. The devices are called PIC32CZ CA90, and their secure module has its own microcontroller running ...
