Embedded Insiders

Send us Fan MailMany types of animals live on land, many more in the sea, and more still spend their time airborne. What’s that got to do with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)? Earlier this year the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) released the IIC Connectivity Framework, a new network model for the IIoT that defines four Core Connectivity Standards: OPC UA, oneM2M, Web Services, and DDS. In this episode, the Embedded Insiders are joined by Dr. Stan Schneider, CEO of Real Time Innovations (RTI), who explains that although connectivity technologies are often known to operate in specific industries, it’s important for designers to evaluate their individual architectures against the system at hand… Sort of like seals and whales in the ocean, or bats in the air. Apparently Brandon is somewhat like a bat, too. Topics covered: - Industrial IoT - Syntactic Interoperability - Semantic Interoperability - Networking - NIWeekFor more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailResearchers at Princeton recently found memory consistency errors in the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), an extensible, open-source ISA spawned out of academia that is being adopted by industry in the development of everything from Internet of Things (IoT) microcontrollers (MCUs) to data center processors. While certain media outlets have sensationalized these findings, the Embedded Insiders ask Rick O’Connor, Executive Director of the RISC-V Foundation for the real scoop. As you’ll hear, there are far fewer errors than originally reported, and those that exist apply to more complex instantiations of the ISA for multicore devices that have yet to be realized in silicon. Meanwhile, the power of the open source community has been applied to address the issue.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailThis week the Embedded Insiders welcome David Kleidermacher, Chief Security Officer at BlackBerry and one of the leading security evangelists in the embedded and IoT technology markets. Of particular interest to Mr. Kleidermacher is medical device security, and in this episode the Insiders probe him with questions regarding the state of the medical device security arms race; looking beyond the FDA for security evaluation; and the upcoming MEDSec security conference taking place May 23 and 24th at the DoubleTree Hilton in San Jose, CA.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailThe Embedded Insiders, Rich Nass and Brandon Lewis, both of Embedded Computing Design, drive into the Society of Automotive Engineer's (SAE's) six levels of autonomous driving. From full human driver control to complete autonomy, the two outline each of the levels, discuss where they believe we are on the autonomy spectrum today, and discuss a recently released offering from Mentor Graphics that can get manufacturers developing Level 5 Autonomous Driving systems today.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailThe Embedded Insiders welcome in the newest member of the Embedded Computing Design editorial team, Alix Paultre. Alex will be covering analog and power topics from his home base outside of Frankfurt, Germany, and in this episode he discusses highlights from the recent Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), including Gallium Nitride (GaN), silicon carbide, packaging, and digitally enhanced analog.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailAs connectivity becomes cheaper, data becomes more valuable. This is a paradox the Embedded Insiders Rich Nass and Brandon Lewis explore in the context of low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) standards that have emerged to capture Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connections in the face of sunsetting 2G infrastructure.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailThere's no rest for the weary, as the Embedded Insiders have been worn down with embedded world 2017 preparations before even leaving for the show. Still, Rich Nass, Executive Vice President and Brand Director of Embedded Computing Design and Brandon Lewis, the property's Technology Editor, found a few minutes to discuss what they've heard about, and are excited to see, at the year's biggest event for the embedded engineering community.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailIoT Evolution (East) concluded this week, with players from across the networking industry converging on Fort Lauderdale. A keynote by Mary Beth Hall, Director of IoT Platforms at Verizon included an anecdote about her son using the Internet of Things and not even realizing it, which piqued the of Rich Nass, Executive Vice President of Embedded Computing Design, who attended the event. He brought the story up in this week's Embedded Experts Podcast with Technology Editor Brandon Lewis, which sparked an interesting conversation on the next generation of engineers and the low-power IoT network landscape.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com
