Trenz Electronic’s TE0808 UltraSoM+ system-on-module provides design engineers with a multiprocessing environment for the development of embedded systems like 5G wireless, ADAS systems and industrial IoT applications, the company says. According to Trenz Electronic it integrates Xilinx’s Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC with up to 4GB of DDR4 SDRAM main memory with 32-bit width, up to 512MB of flash, a switch-mode power ...
Following NerO, a previous crowdfunding project, FTDI Chip has announced an Arduino-related product called CleO for which it is again using Indiegogo. The objective of CleO is to bring to market a family of intelligent, simple to program TFT display boards through which engineers can develop imaginative, compelling human machine interfaces (HMIs) regardless of their experience level. Using Arduino as ...
Express Logic has introduced a version of its X-Ware Secure Platform for ARM Cortex-M processors. The platform incorporates the firm’s ThreadX, NetX, USBX, FileX, GUIX, and TraceX for use with future ARMv8-M–based Cortex-M processors with TrustZone and with existing ARMv6-M– and ARMv7-M–based Cortex-M processors with MPU support. The tools can be used for software partitioning and ThreadX can be used ...
ARM is putting the 64-bit squeeze on Intel and all the other embedded processor suppliers. The Cambridge-based processor firm has gone one better than its frugal Cortex- A7 low power core with its latest processor, the Cortex-A32. ARM has recognised that a 64-bit processor architecture can be more power efficient than a 32-bit architecture. In this ARM seems to be ...
Farnell element14 has launched two IoT starter kits, at Embedded World 2016, featuring energy harvesting wireless sensors from EnOcean, one of them including the Raspberry Pi micro-computer board.
ARM is pushing for the wider use of the near field communications (NFC) wireless protocol in wearable devices, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week. The processor firm has created a wearable reference design in its mbed open source design community, and it has selected wireless technology from ams and an STMicroelectronics secure microcontroller. The NFC design is based around the ST54E ...
Today, ARM launches its smallest most power-efficient V8-A architecture processor core – the 32-bit A32. Cortex-A32 occupies less than 0.25 mm2 of silicon area when made on a 28nm process and consumes under 4mW of total power at 100 MHz. Embedded World 2016: Get the full Electronics Weekly Guide » The Cortex-A32 processor can be configured in multiple ways from ...
Digi-Key has added to its free downloadable PCB design tools, which are the Scheme-it and PCBWeb design tools being demonstrated at Embedded World 2016 February 23-25 in Nuremburg this week. Scheme-it can be used to rough-out design concepts as block diagrams, schematics or board expansion format. According to David Sandys, director of digital marketing, Digi-Key: “With the milestone of over 100,000 designs being ...
Fujitsu has launched a 4Mbit ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) with a quad SPI interface at Embedded World in Nuremberg. Called, MB85RQ4ML, with its four bi-directional I/O pins operating at 108MHz it can reach a data transfer rate of 54Mbyte/s. “In this respect, MB85RQ4ML is over four times as fast as our existing parallel 4Mbit FRAM device and even outperforms the 45ns parallel SRAM,” said ...
The embedded world no longer looks at chips and software in isolation. Developers are now offered choices of embedded platform, but the selection process still involves matching both your hardware and software requirements, writes Richard Wilson Embedded design these days is all about choosing a platform to meet your requirements. Does the hardware provide the right performance without breaking the ...
