Embedded Insiders

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we discuss the Bleeding Edge. What is it? What does it mean for the future of semiconductors? Is it actually conceivable or can we put it in the category of science fiction? Tune in to find out. For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Embedded Insiders, we delve into the difference between smart and intelligent devices. What makes a device smart? Furthermore, what makes a device intelligent? Is it indeed possible to distinguish the two? Will the technological advancements in intelligent devices put humans out of commission? Tune in as we discuss.    For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailEmbedded Insiders’ Rich Nass interviews industry consultant and analyst Vin D’Agostino of D’Agostino Industries to get his take on what’s been happening in the IoT world as far as RTOS acquisitions go. Alix Paultre offers his experience at PCIM and reviews the show’s edible tchotchkie index.We also highlight the Best in Show winners from IoT World. Tune in to hear about all the brilliant products that were showcased this year. For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailWith the recent news of Microsoft acquiring Express Logic, the Embedded Insiders parse whether large tech conglomerates buying software companies is good for anyone involved. Special guest Rob Oshana, VP of Software Engineering R&D at NXP joins to give his thoughts on what the FreeRTOS and Express Logic acquisitions will mean for developers.

Send us Fan MailThere seems to be a foundation/association for just about everything in our space these days. Are such institutions necessary? Do they wear out their usefulness? I asked that question of Mike Milinkovich, the Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. Of course, he defended his group, but his reasoning was quite interesting.

Send us Fan MailThe Embedded Insiders briefly review the results of an IoT developer survey from the Eclipse Foundation, which found that two-thirds of engineers are currently or plan to launch an IoT project in the next 18 months (https://iot.eclipse.org/iot-developer-surveys/). Given the pervasiveness of IoT, does that even mean anything anymore?Afterward, the Insiders slide into a discussion of wide-area networks prompted by Alix Paultre's recent engagements with The Things Network. Do recent announcements in 5G have any impact on the advancement of LoRa-based technologies such as those developed by The Things Network, or is there still ample market opportunity? Will Semtech's LoRa monopoly stifle the industry, or help it grow sustainably? Tune in to find out more.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailWhen it comes to things like embedded computing systems and advanced solutions and circuits, people tend to overlook basics in the system, even though some of those basics can actually be force multipliers for their logic systems. One important factor in high-performance computing is how you actually manage the power to it, and whether you're optimizing the performance of the device or the different types of processors.That's where Aceinna's current sensors comes into play, to measure and protect, and also for optimization of system performance. In this episode we talk to Aceinna's Khagendra Thapa about how to optimize processor efficiency by looking at the current consumed by the system.  The company’s AMR technology is a single chip solution with a lower offset, lower noise, better accuracy and overall bandwidth, and a lower phase shift.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailThe IoT is just starting to embrace AI and neural nets. While previously a Cloud-based application, such algorithms are migrating to the Edge, thanks to the latest and greatest microprocessors. One of those processor vendors who continue to exhibit expertise in the IoT ecosystem is Intel, and as such, became the subject of this week’s Five Minutes With…discussion. Specifically, I spoke to Steen Graham, the General Manager of Intel’s IoT Ecosystem.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailThe Embedded community is closely tied to Linux (yes, that’s an understatement). I thought it would be a good idea to interview someone from the Linux Foundation to get a handle on where the organization stands and what projects are coming down the pike. So, without any further ado, here’s Michael Dolan, Vice President of Strategic Programs for the Linux Foundation in week’s Five Minutes With…discussion.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailThis week the Embedded Insiders are joined by Steven Crouch, CTO of Blackmore Lidar, who discusses FM lidar and its impact on the automotive market. We also recap what went on at the GPU Technology Conference this year. Tune in for more.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com
