SECO introduced JULIET, a COM Express Type 7 module based on Intel Xeon D-1700 processors (formerly Ice Lake-D). This announcement is simultaneous with Intel's release of this latest generation processor platform, for which SECO is an Intel Early Access Program partner.

COM-HPC was officially ratified about six months ago. Embedded Computing Design has done a nice job covering the spec and many of the products that have come out of the spec (some before ratification and many after). We also posted a series of videos (called COM-HPC Academy) with some of the influential members of PICMG, the standards body behind the spec.

SECO signed an agreement for the acquisition of Oro Networks, a US company based in the Silicon Valley.

Optimized for flexibility and reliability, SECO’s SM-C93 SMARC system on module (SOM) enables high levels of safety, which has become a critical challenge in many industries, without compromising high performance and providing rapid time-to-market.

Business is becoming increasingly data driven.

We spend a lot of time discussing the various hardware elements of an AI system. Should it be a CPU or a GPU or a combination? What about the new entrant, the TPU? Then there’s the memory subsystem and the bus architecture. Not to mention the different sensors that are needed for the specific application.
