Embedded World: Atom x7000RE SMARC processor modules for industry
Congatec announced SMARC modules based on Intel’s Atom x7000RE ‘Amston Lake’ processors. “Specially designed for industrial requirements, they deliver eight processor cores, double the previous generation, while maintaining the same power consumption,” according to Congatec. Called conga‑SA8, the modules are credit card size and operate over -40 to +85°C. Read all the latest news from Embedded World 2024 » AI ...
Embedded World: Atom x7000RE edge AI servers
Supermicro has announced edge computers built around Intel’s Atom x7000RE processors. SYS-E100-14AM and SYS-E102-14AM mini-PCs have up to eight ‘Efficient’ cores had dissipate less than 12W. “While the SYS-E102 comes in a form factor of only 190 x 44 x 120 mm, these systems offer up to 16GB of DDR5-SODIMM, dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, two independent HDMI ports, three ...
Mouser signs Edge Impulse; accelerates intelligence at the edge
Mouser reflected one of the major themes at Embedded World 2024, intelligence at the edge, and announced it has signed Edge Impulse, the software framework provider for embedded machine learning (ML) applications. Machine learning is implemented at the edge of the network, explained Mouser’s Mark Patrick in order to make decisions very quickly at the [network] edge. [Edge Impulse’s] products ...
Embedded World: fast 64bit quad core RISC-V development board for Linux
SiFive has announced a quad-core RISC-V development board. HiFive Premier P550, as it will be known, is built around an Eswin EIC7700 processor which has SiFive’s 64bit three-issue, out-of-order P550 cores, 256kbyte L2 cache and 4Mbyte L3 cache. It is collaborating with Canonical to ensure Ubuntu will run on the board, which is similar to a PC motherboard. “The board ...
BeagleBoard puts 4Top/s AI processor in Raspberry Pi form factor
The BeagleBoard organisation has introduced a 4Top/s-capable AI processor in Raspberry Pi form factor, built around a Texas Instruments AM67A vision processor. Called a link to suitable Debian XFCE Linux distribution, it “AM67A features a quad-core 64bit Arm CPU subsystem, two general-purpose DSPs and matrix-multiply-accelerators, GPU, vision and deep learning accelerators, and multiple Arm Cortex-R5 cores for low-latency GPIO control”, ...
Arduino swaps sensors on Nano 33 BLE and Nano 33 BLE Sense
Arduino has bought out second revisions of its Nano 33 BLE and Nano 33 BLE Sense bluetooth-equipped microcontroller boards, keeping the sensor mix, but changing several of the sensor ICs. The nRF52840 IC (via a u-blox NINA-B306 module) stays the same, and still provides both an Arm Cortex-M4 processor and a Bluetooth transceiver – to go with these is an ...
