The VITA 100 standard will build on VPX’s legacy but “leapfrog” to meet increased processing and power demands. Providing a progress update, VITA 100 chair Steve Devore (pictured), described it is a continuation of VPX, supporting evolving power and data processing demands. One requirement is to double the density of today’s VPX connectors while maintaining the maximum current connector length. ...
ST has integrated six accelerometers into a 2.5 x 3mm inertial measurement unit for sports wearables. “Capable of measuring events ranging from slight movements to intense impacts with equal accuracy,” said ST. The “low-g sensor provides high accuracy with limited range [and the] high-g sensor offers an extended range with less accuracy”. Packaged in a 0.86mm thick LGA and called ...
Percepio, the Swedish maker of Tracealyzer, has released Percepio Detect, a tool to increase observability of embedded code and Edge devices during system testing. Percepio Detect Optimised for use during testing of RTOS-based systems, it’s aimed at embedded software developers and supports the testing and debugging of embedded code. Specifically, supporting Continuous Integration and Continuous Testing (CI/CT) processes. “While cloud-native ...
Google is releasing the second beta of Android 16, the latest version of its mobile operating system. Aimed at developers, and not consumers, it includes a number of updates. These range from camera updates, custom graphical effects with AGSL (Android Graphics Shading Language), and motion capture, to font API changes, live wallpapers, and APIs in the ADPF (Android Dynamic Performance ...
Synopsys has added the HAPS-200 prototyping and ZeBu-200 emulation system to its hardware-assisted verification (HAV) portfolio. Both the HAPs-200 and ZeBu-200 are based on the AMD Versal Premium VP1902 adaptive SoC and built on the company’s emulation and prototyping, or EP-Ready, hardware for use with reconfiguration and optimisation software. ZeBu Server 5 delivers scalability beyond 60bn gates, to target large ...
iC-Haus has created a high-speed sine-to-digital signal conditioning interpolation IC for magnetic or optical position sensors. “Linear scales and angular sensors can benefit from higher resolution and accuracy, enabling an outstanding measurement precision, a faster motion speed or an improved control quality for drives,” claimed the company. By combining analogue and digital processing, the IC, called iC-NQE, takes in analogue ...
Congatec is offering computer-on-modules pre-programmed with module-to-cloud communication software for remote monitoring, remote control and response automation. Branded ‘aReady.IOT’, and there is a matching central control dashboard to go with it. “The aim is to simplify the use of modern embedded applications,” said the company, “The pre-configured building blocks enable communication with machines, systems, devices and sensors via protocols such ...
Improved integration with the latest generation of automotive microcontrollers are amongst updates in the latest version of PLS’ Universal Debug Engine, to be called ‘UDE 2025’. “UDE 2025 comes with a new home screen,” said the company. “Immediately after starting the program, users now have direct access to their most recently used debugger workspaces, sorted by time. Creating a new ...
The VITA 93 standard is based on the QMC architecture for scalable, modular embedded systems. It has been introduced to address the high-speed data processing requirements, combined with size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints of today’s mil-aero applications. Previewing the mezzanine card standard at Embedded Tech Trends, Elma Electronics’ director of system products, Mark Littlefield (pictured), explained that VITA 93 ...
Based on Synopsys’ Ethernet and PCIe IP, the Ultra Ethernet IP help developers of AI/HPC infrastructure chips and systems. Hyperscale data centres will need to scale to hundreds of thousands of accelerators and rely on efficient and fast connections to support large language models which process trillions of parameters in large language models for HPC and AI operations, continued Ron ...
