When Correct Outputs Aren't Enough: Testing Edge AI for Hidden Timing Failures on Shared Silicon

Akul Swami

June 1, 2026

Edge AI systems on shared-silicon platforms can produce stable, accurate outputs while violating real-time deadlines under realistic deployment contention, a failure mode that accuracy-based validation cannot detect. This article presents a same-hardware controlled experiment on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super demonstrating the gap, and proposes a joint verification condition combining an output-stability metric with a tail-latency bound that engineers can apply to their own systems.

Computer Vision in Smart Manufacturing: Defect Detection and Predictive Maintenance

Chad Cox

May 27, 2026

In 1943, at the University of Chicago, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts published A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Imminent in Nervous Activity, leading to the foundational work on neural network concepts and modern-day artificial intelligence (AI). Now that AI is moving more to the edge, computer vision is becoming a critical tool. Computer vision systems use machine learning and deep learning to visualize and analyze data for defect detection and predictive maintenance in smart manufacturing

Developing Formally Proven Code with AI

Quentin Ochem

May 26, 2026

Developing formally proven code is challenging. It is also extraordinarily valuable: it produces software with a level of robustness that is otherwise unreachable, and you can have very high confidence that your code will not fail over time. But there is no way around it: it’s hard work.

What Triggers Work in Firmware? Uncovering Event-Driven Execution in EDK2

Swastik Ghosh

May 18, 2026

Many people think firmware runs in a simple, step-by-step way. Drivers seem to load one after another, and the execution log shows a smooth boot process. Traditional debugging tools also suggest everything happens in order. However, this view is not always correct.

May 14, 2026

Embedded software development faces many challenges. Teams are under pressure to build increasingly sophisticated systems in less time. Many of them involve more complex and less predictable behaviors thanks to the inclusion of features that harness machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). But, unlike counterparts in enterprise software development, embedded systems need to meet stringent safety, security, and reliability requirements.

Using Safety Application Notes to Aid Safety Designs—Part 3: Improving Functional Safety Performance

Bryan Angelo Borres

May 11, 2026

After doing a first iteration of the failure modes, effects, and diagnostics analysis (FMEDA) on a safety function’s circuit, there can only be two outcomes. The first is that the system integrity level (SIL) requirements are achieved, and the second is a failure to meet the requirements.
