There are many ways to slice and dice embedded engineering space (where, as everyone should know by now, no one can hear you scream). Take microcontrollers, for example. If I were to raise the topic of MCUs in a room full of embedded engineers, it wouldn’t take long before names like STMicroelectronics, NXP, Texas Instruments, Microchip Technology, Infineon, and Renesas bid a cheery “hello” in … Read More → "You Say “Ultra-Low-Power Connected Edge AI,” I Say “Nordic Semiconductor”"
In this week’s podcast, we’re diving deep into the technology that is driving the next wave of enterprise digital transformation: Private 5G. My guest is Parm Sandhu, Group Vice President of Enterprise 5G Products and Services at NTT DATA, Inc. Parm and I chat about how NTT is tackling the biggest misconceptions businesses have about Private 5G today and the key considerations you need … Read More → "From Robotics to Remote Mining: How Private 5G Unlocks Physical AI"
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new leaps onto the center stage with a fanfare of flügelhorns (once heard, never forgotten). In this case, it’s an alternative way to perform AI inference and anomaly detection on the edge, eliminating the need to use artificial neural networks (ANNs) and instead employing a largely forgotten branch of Russian research from the 1960s … Read More → "Have We Been Doing Edge AI the Hard Way All Along?"
Call me an old cynic, if you wish (I’ve been called worse), but I’ve learned to live with disappointment over the years after being tempted on countless occasions with promises of technological delight, only to discover that all is not as it first seems when the curtain is finally pulled back to reveal…
I know, I know. “Pay … Read More → "Finally, a 100% Semiconductor FMCW LiDAR That Truly Is 100% Semiconductor!"
This week we’re talking all about the future of embedded software development with TASKING Co-CEO Christoph Herzog. Christoph and I explore how Large Language Models and agentic AI are moving from novelty to necessity, directing external agents within the TASKING toolchain to automate critical verification and validation tasks. We also discuss the Model Context Protocol (MCP) … Read More → "AI in Safety-Critical Embedded Development: TASKING’s New Approach to Verification and Validation"
 Want early design analysis without simulation?Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance. |
