Embedded Computing Design

Trusted platform module (TPM) is one of the most prominent security platforms that is based on the IEEE 802.1x authentication framework and can be integrated into low-power edge computing designs.

Workload consolidation is making a foray in embedded systems serving the rugged edge in industrial automation, fleet management, smart cities, and more.

By the close of 2019, suppliers of LoRa solutions have streamlined the availability of the key building blocks, broadly segmented into LoRa nodes or end devices, gateways, and network and app servers.

The article will highlight this fundamental shift in RF development and SoC customization in the rapidly emerging IoT designs.

Complementing popular short-range wireless technologies with longer-range, higher power technologies offers more comprehensive IoT design solutions.

SDR, one of the most important technologies in the modern wireless arena, can tune to any frequency band and implement different modulation and demodulation schemes.

The 5G wireless revolution is bringing dramatic changes in the RF design realm, and power amplifiers for handsets and radio base stations are no exception.

This article will expand on currently the most popular wireless vehicle for mesh networks: Wi-Fi.

Here is how manufacturing, robotics, transportation, and other industrial applications can address interoperability issues in connected machines using flexible hardware and modular software.

We will discuss the key highlights of the evolution of RF transceivers in the 5G era. And it starts with how RF transceivers are moving to wider bandwidths and higher speeds.

The 5G infrastructure now demands another round of innovation on the part of semiconductor firms to improve network efficiency with more adaptable solutions.

The 5G wireless has been promising new communication venues: a multi-gigabit wireless environment connecting homes and enterprises to 5G NR infrastructure via fixed wireless access broadband.

At CES, the show floor displayed some exciting stuff for the next-generation infotainment, encompassing multiple digital assistants, voice navigation, virtual cockpit, and immersive entertainment.

Tipping point for powertrain electrification ? (EVs), (HEVs), (PHEVs) ? is in sight with modern lithium-ion batteries able to store and use energy in vehicles at higher power density and lower cost.

The autonomous car movement is about to face another roadblock: a battle over the connectivity standard between the 5G-based cellular V2X communications and ITS-G5 based on Wi-Fi connectivity.

This is an example of a recently-announced IP core for audio and voice processors targeted at voice-controlled infotainment, noise cancellation, and personalized audio listening via sound bubbles.

The autonomous cars are coming sooner than later, and that calls for a thorough understanding of functional safety and the complexities of compliance to standards such as ISO 26262.

The term V2X encompasses multiple flavors of the connected car maxim: vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications, and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P).

The Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) specifications for cameras and sensors have served billions of smartphones, and now they are eying the second largest market for electronic components.

HMI designs are now employing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to reduce driver distractions through a new breed of gesture-recognition features.
