Lauterbach and UltraSoC have added support for the RISC-V open-source processor architecture to their joint chip development and debug environment. “Across the industry there is rising excitement about the emergence of RISC-V as an open source processor,” said UltraSoC CEO Rupert Baines. “This is especially significant in heterogeneous multi-core architectures: engineers want the choice to ‘mix and ‘match’ cores and freely ...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS has developed digitally tunable and reconfigurable RF filters. In a congested spectrum “devices that send and receive data must function reliably”, said the organisation. “But with coexistence and interference issues on the rise, we can expect significant constraints and problems when it comes to transferring data. Fraunhofer IIS has developed digitally tunable radio ...
