Embedded World Video: NXP’s new S32K5 MCU family advances zonal SDV architectures
At Embedded World 2025 we caught up with Manuel Alves, of SVP Automotive Microcontrollers at NXP Semiconductors, as part of our promotional coverage for the event. The interview showcases the recently announced S32K5 microcontrollers family and its pivotal role in the automotive industry’s transformation toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Manuel highlights the key features and benefits that set the MCU family apart ...
Highlights from Nuremberg – Embedded World 2025
Earlier this month more than 1,900 exhibitors gathered in the Bavarian city 0f Nuremburg for Embedded World, which showcased hardware, embedded software and tools. Steve Bush selects some of the highlights. Intel’s Processor N-series computer-on-modules (COMs) were shown by Seco. Called Twin Lake, the processors have up to eight ‘efficiency’ cores and are aimed at applications dissipating 6W to 15W. ...
Tria has sights on Vision AI with Qualcomm’s Dragonwing processor
Following on from last year’s Embedded World announcement that Tria Technologies will be working with Qualcomm Technologies on high performance embedded compute modules. The embedded specialist unveiled more of the partnership roadmap in Nuremberg this year. There were five new Tria-branded modules, based on Qualcomm’s Dragonwing and Snapdragon technology at this year’s Embedded World conference. These are the Tria IQ-9075 ...
Embedded World: Heatpipe cooling for COM-HPC computer modules
Pushing back against ever hotter computer-on-modules, Congatec is offering heat-pipe based heatsinking, using acetone as a working fluid to accommodate sub-0°C switch-ons – operation is over -40 to +85°C. “Acetone cooling will become an option for the conga-TC675 and conga-TC675r,” the company told Electronics Weekly. “Most likely, they can be ordered off-the-shelf by Q3 – the acetone coolers themselves are ...
Embedded World: 60MHz 125sample/s software-defined scope and sig-gen
Red Pitaya has upgraded its Stemlab 125-14 four-channel 60Mz software-defined test instrument. “This next-generation series enhances performance and reliability while maintaining backward compatibility,” according to the company. “With improved features such as enhanced RF input performance, USB-C connectivity, and a compact design, the Gen 2 series is designed to facilitate signal acquisition, generation and processing, whether used in educational settings, ...
Synopsys extends Virtualizer IP suite for Arm-based hardware
Embedded World 2025: Synopsys says its Virtualizer Native Execution prototyping tool will accelerate software development for edge devices. It extends the Virtualizer tool suite and model libraries to Arm hardware, allowing virtual prototypes to be built, executed and tested directly on Arm-based machines. The Native Element factor in the new tool means that users can execute virtual prototypes directly on ...
Embedded World: Adapter board sets the stage for LED design
Embedded World 2025: LED design is highlighted by Rutronik with its RAB5 adapter board. It features ams Osram Osire LEDs which are designed for dynamic, ambient lighting. LEDs are customisable to meet specific applications, using the manufacturer’s graphic user interface (GUI). LEDs are individually addressable chips for colour and driver selection. The LEDs can be used for interior and ambient ...
Embedded World: Crypto Quantique demo-es software PQC system
Crypto Quantique is demonstrating the QuarkLink Hybrid PQC security platform at Embedded World 2025 on booth 5-171. The company is also showing its latest analogue and digital silicon IP offerings for device security. QuarkLink is an integrated, scalable, cloud-based software platform that claims to reduce the time and expense of implementing all necessary security functions in embedded device IoT networks ...
Embedded World: 15Top/s 10Top/s/W MCU for AI inferencing
Renesas is aiming at the high-volume vision AI market with a 15Top/s 10Top/s/W microcontroller. Called RZ/V2N, it comes with the company’s own AI accelerator, DRP-AI3. The 15Top/s (INT8) claim comes from sparse networks through the accelerator’s “advanced pruning technology”, said the company. On dense networks it can only hit 4Top/s, and its Resnet50 score is 769 inference/s. The main CPU ...
