Embedded Computing Design

Consumer products and technology continue to evolve, particularly how we interact with them. Ensuring that the interaction is a smooth and seamless one is more difficult than it sounds.

The CO₂GO is a mobile CO₂ sensor that’s simple to use and sells for about $130. Built around the Infineon Xensiv PAS CO₂ sensor, the system contains green, yellow, and red LEDs that reflect the ambient air quality. Since it’s USB-powered and weighs just a few ounces, the CO2GO can be plugged into a wall charger, computer, and used just about anywhere.

I have said for some time that there is a lot of confusion over what Industry 5.0 actually is. In this situation, I use the old “ask five people, get five different answers” axiom.

Machine learning (ML) is all about massive amounts of processing, DSP, etc., right? Maybe not, according to the team at Aspinity. The company continues to push ahead on the analog front. The latest member of the company’s analogML family, the AML100, operates completely in the analog domain. As a result, it can reduce always-on system power by 95% (for the record, we had to walk through this a couple of times before I believed them).

As we see the trend of edge computing rise across industries, one of the most important uses for it is in data centers. Incorporating edge computing enables more autonomously run data centers, and a low latency network is critical in environments that strive to maximize compute throughput and reduce server idle time. Timothy Vang, Vice President of Marketing and Applications at Semtech, answers some questions about the intricacies of edge computing and the important role it plays in the modern data center to meet the current bandwidth and speed demands.

Matt Johnson was appointed President and CEO of Silicon Labs earlier this year.

IoT databases are different from general databases. Really? That was a surprise to me.

Applications that require high-quality audio are fraught with issues.

Precise and accurate high-resolution imaging is a requirement in many applications, such as medical/healthcare. You certainly wouldn’t want your surgeon looking at a display that wasn’t as crisp and clear and as fast-reacting as possible.

Our embedded industry continues to change as the industry evolves with the latest technologies.

Curved displays are nothing new, but as you would expect, there has been lots of innovation in the space.

AdaCore is one of the leaders in the Ada programming language. Ada has been around for a long time, and is time tested.

Edge visualization is one of those terms that if you ask 10 people for a definition, you’re likely to get ten different responses. To avoid that ambiguity, I went right to one of the sources of this technology, namely Jim Liu, the CEO of ADLINK Technology. As you might expect, it was not a simple answer.

Memory is taking on a whole new role in the automobile. This is partly because there is so much required and partly because the memory has to perform at much higher levels than before.

This is the first in a series of blogs highlighting vendors that will be exhibiting at embedded world in March of 2022

There’s been a changing of the guard at IAR Systems, but not necessarily a change in direction—sort of.
