Hello Embedded Professionals, Engineers, and Developers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

Synopsys announced that after independent evaluation by SGS TÜV Saar, the company has become the first to achieve product certification for ISO/PAS 8800, outlining the safety requirements for the use of AI in road vehicles. Due to the number of sensors in on-road vehicles utilizing AI, data delay is critical and secure, real-time communication is now a must for automotive safety. ISO/PAS 8800 focuses on verified product behavior, not just development processes.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Bruno Damien, Ecosystem & Partners Marketing Director at e-peas, joins the podcast to discuss sustainable IoT. The company develops effective solutions for harvesting ambient energy with Ambient Energy Managers (AEMs) and an extensive portfolio of Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs).

Digital twins, a virtual representation of a physical product, can simplify your development process. To me, doing something that sounds quite complex can’t actually make something easier. However, as Marc Serughetti, the Vice President of Product Line Management for the Synopsys Systems Design Group, explains to me, that’s really how it works. 

Hear it from the expert on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

The semiconductor industry is starting to look like it’s due for big changes.

Sunnyvale, California. Synopsys introduced the expansion of its Synopsys.ai Copilot generative AI (GenAI) abilities utilized in semiconductor design solutions supporting complex designs with an acceleration to production. As mentioned in the press release, the expanded Synopsys.ai Copilot assistive and creative capabilities are already in use by early access customers and demonstrate sufficient design quality and engineer productivity gains.

QuickLogic Corporation introduced Aurora PRO, an innovative development of the Aurora FPGA design tool. The tool integrates Synopsys Synplify FPGA synthesis enabling designers greater resource utilization and maximum frequency (Fmax). This integration results in a 50% improvement in resource use, as proven by client designs achieving over 96% LUT utilization with average frequency increases of up to 10% for eFPGA designs for enhanced system performance.
