Infineon has lined up a Rust programming language compiler for two of its TriCore architecture processor families: the existing TC3x and forthcoming TC4x. “Rust, with its unique memory safety features, has emerged as a viable complement or potential substitute for C/C++ in automotive software development,” according to the company. Working with Infineon, HighTec EDV-Systeme has released an ISO 26262 ASIL ...

This one is aimed at professionals – I’m stretching the ‘Gadget Book’ definition – and covers the design of embedded system electronics: Applied Embedded Electronics: Design Essentials for Robust Systems. The elevator pitch is that it’s “a comprehensive design reference, from initial concept to final PCB, for all embedded system electronics”. The publishers write: “This book guides you through all ...

Ittia has ported its DB IoT database for microcontrollers to a sub-set of the STM32 MCU family, via the STM32CubeIDE integrated development environment. “Real-time data capture and edge analytics are becoming common requirements for edge devices, including machine learning and AI applications,” according to Ittia. “Manufacturers selecting STM32 microcontrollers to build gateways, industrial systems and medical devices can now locally ...

Kontron has released an ATX server-class motherboard designed to bring Intel’s 4th and 5th generation Xeon scalable processors to embedded applications. Called K9051-C741, it has Intel’s C741 chipset, and an LGA4677 socket for processors up to 350W. DDR5 RDIMM memory is supported up to 768Gbyte and 5600Mtransfer/s. 10G Ethernet is supported through two RJ45 ports and there are six SATA ...

AMD announced its 4th generation EPYC embedded processors at Embedded World today, using its ‘Zen 4’ architecture and aimed at embedded networking, security, firewalls and storage in cloud and enterprise computing, as well in factory floor industrial edge servers. There are 10 processors in the Embedded 9004 Series, made using a 5nm chip process, with 16 to 96 cores see ...

IAR Systems has added PX5 RTOS support to its Embedded Workbench for Arm development tool suite – a development tool-chain with a C/C++ compiler and debugging. “The PX5 Industrial RTOS is an advanced 5th-generation RTOS designed for the most sophisticated and developed embedded applications, and is deterministic regardless of system load,” said IAR. It “helps embedded systems developers to manage the ...

Trustonic of Cambridge has been granted Common Criterial Evaluation Assurance Level [EAL] 5+ for version 510a-V007 of its Kinibi operating system – against a protection profile defined by GlobalPlatform, the industry body responsible for trusted execution environments. “This certification is truly the gold standard for secure OSs, and we are delighted to have been recognised and rewarded for the hard work ...

IAR Systems is supporting 64-bit Risc-V and the RV64I base instruction set with Embedded Workbench. ‘Embedded Workbench for Risc-V’ version 3.10 is a C/C++ compiler and debugger IDE with code quality analysis tools, supporting RV64 cores from Andes, Codasip, Microchip, Nuclei and SiFive. “64bit support is an important milestone for our investment in the RISC-V technology and ecosystem,” said IAR CTO ...

Segger has added support for 64bit Risc-V to Embedded Studio. Covering CPUs including RV64I, RV64E and RV64GC with a floating-point unit, it comes integrated with emRun C/C++ runtime and emFloat floating-point libraries, the Segger Linker and Compiler. The GNU compiler and linker are also included. “64bit embedded systems are gaining popularity with faster chips and bigger applications,” said compamy MD ...

Here's another book, aimed at professionals, that covers designing embedded systems. Specifically, it's an introduction to the design of FPGAs and is aimed at “engineers in the trenches”, presenting things on a practical level.
