Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

Synaptics and Google have joined forces to hasten the development of low-power, AI-driven edge devices—marking a potentially significant milestone for open, efficient, and scalable compute architectures. The collaboration brings together Google Research’s new Coral machine-learning accelerator architecture and Synaptics’ deep expertise in low-power silicon design, resulting in the company’s SL2610 platform.

The Synaptics Astra™ Machina modular development kit accelerates the development of high-performance Edge AI applications.

Synaptics introduced its innovative Wi-Fi 7 system-on-chips (SoCs) that focus on expedited data rates and ultra-low latency for IoT applications. The Wi-Fi SoC lineup includes the SYN4390 and SYN4384 delivering a 320 MHz channel bandwidth and peak wireless throughput of 5.8 Gbps.

Embedded Computing Design Editor Ken Briodagh discusses the Astra Embedded Processor Family and On-Device AI Development with Martyn Humphries, Vice President of Business Development at Synaptics.

AI at the Edge was a key theme at this year’s COMPUTEX in Taipei, Taiwan, and as a company specializing in AI at the Edge  across many verticals, the company showcased       a wide variety of products and solutions at the show.

It's been almost a year since Synaptics launched its Astra architecture. Hear what's happened to the AI platform since that time.
