At Microelectronics UK, Embedd.it unveiled its cross-vendor graphical MCU configurator. The company said that it will “remove hardware dependencies in embedded software” and strengthen supply chain resilience. The configurator uses AI to retrieve and organise data on more than 1,400 MCU families from major manufacturers, including Renesas, STMicroelectronics, NXP Semiconductors and Texas Instruments. The configurator is part of a suite ...
A scalable Linux tool launched by Peridio is an open-source OS designed to migrate designs from protoype to production. Justin Schneck, co-founder and chief product officer of Peridio, explained that embedded developers’ either have to choose a packaged Linux distribution which can work immediately but which is difficult to scale and secure in volume production, or build their own security-hardened, ...
Marvell Technology is claiming a first with its 2nm 64Gbit/s bi-directional die-to-die interconnect for xPUs. “Delivering 32Gbit/s of simultaneous two-way connectivity over a single wire, the interface offers bandwidth density over 30Tbit/s/mm, more than three times the bandwidth density of UCIe at equivalent speeds,” it said. Adaptive power management automatically adjusts for bursty traffic, reducing “interface power consumption by up ...
Astroscale – a specialist in satellite servicing and space debris removal – has won a patent for its distributed architecture approach to repeated active debris removal (ADR). Specifically it is the U.S. Patent No. 12,234,043 B2, “Method and System for Multi-Object Space Debris Removal”. Under the patented method, the servicer docks with a debris object (the “client”) and transfers it ...
