We’re talking Embedded World, TSMC and Chips Act money, AI, MCUs and design competitions… The Electronics Weekly team share some fingerposts – their picks of the week, in terms of announcements, developments, product releases, quotes or anything else in the wide world of electronics that caught their eye… Caroline Hayes, editor For me it’s: Mouser signs Edge Impulse; accelerates intelligence ...
A roundup of all the latest electronics news from Embedded World in Nuremberg.
At the embedded show in Nuremberg, DigiKey and NXP Semiconductors have formally launched their MCX MCU Design Contest. Entrants must use NXP’s new FRDM development boards, featuring its MCX N and MCX A series MCUs, to submit design ideas and projects for a chance to win a variety of prizes. These include a grand prize package of a 14-inch MacBook ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
Infineon has had its forthcoming TC4x automotive microcontrollers cleared for safe AI processing by the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems (IKS). “Embedded AI is becoming increasingly important for safety-critical real-time applications,” said Infineon. “However, this also creates new requirements and standards that must be considered during the complete product lifecycle.” The TC4x family includes ‘PPU’ (parallel processing unit), an AI-accelerator ...
Programmierbare Logik & Systeme is offering debug and trace for NXP’s S32N55 16 core software-defined vehicle processor, announced yesterday. It is included in the 2024 version of UDE, the company’s universal debug engine. With UDE “the Cortex-R52 main cores and the Cortex-M7 auxiliary cores are all visible and can be controlled from one common debugger user interface”, according to PLS. ...
NXP has announced a real-time processor for vehicle central control computers with 16 1.2GHz Arm Cortex-R52 processors. Hardware isolation and virtualisation are provided to allow sharing of on-die hardware between different code blocks without interaction “to support the consolidation of cross-vehicle electronic control units in vehicle central compute applications”, said NXP. “Vehicle functions can be independently managed, including fault handling ...
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 ...
