Distributor Avnet has introduced the Tria brand for its embedded computing products (computer on modules, boards and systems). It has also announced the Tria Technologies business group which will also include its compute design and manufacturing capabilities. Tria Technologies will support OEMs with design either from scratch or using off-the-shelf products and will also make custom designs. Tria will be ...

Industry veteran Rupert Baines is to be CEO at GaN-based motor drive company QPT of Cambridge UK from 1 April. Prior to this, he has been CEO at UltraSoC and CMO of Codasip. “Rupert has been the lead adviser for QPT since January 2022 and his support has been invaluable,” said QPY founder and CTO Rob Gwynne. “We are now ...

EEMBC, the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium, has joined the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) and has become ‘SPEC Embedded Group’ (SPEC EG). Both SPEC and EEMBC are non-profit organisations. Started before the millennium by EDN magazine (hence the extra initial ‘E’), and later spun out, EEMBC has developed respected industry benchmarks for measuring the processing performance and energy efficiency of ...

London embedded systems design and test house Bermondsey Electronics has launched what it describes as an “integration verification engine” that automates the operation of networkable instrumentation to exercise a device-under-test (DUT) and verify that its hardware and software are functioning together as intended. Called Believe, and based on JavaScript, it “can also be used for continuous integration and end-of-line quality ...

IAR Systems is aiming at SiFive’s E6-A and S7-A automotive RISC-V cores with its latest iteration of Embedded Workbench. “E6-A series is aimed at a variety of real-time 32bit applications, from system control to hardware security modules, safety islands and stand-alone in microcontrollers,” according to IAR. “S7-A is a 64bit, high-performance real-time core suited to the needs of modern SoCs ...

Renesas is aiming at applications that need a fast RTOS (real-time operating system) as well as a sophisticated user interface with a group of microcontrollers built around a single 1GHz 64bit Arm Cortex-A55 core. RZ/A3UL MCUs, as they will be known, are intended to boot FreeRTOS or Azure RTOS within one second. “This feature is ideal for systems that require ...

Imagination Technologies has announced its first real-time embedded RISC-V CPU. Called IMG RTXM-2200, the 32bit core is aimed at SoCs for networking, packet management, storage controllers, sensor management for AI cameras and smart metering, according to the company, which has revealed little more. Up to 128kbyte tightly coupled memory (instruction and data) can be provide for deterministic response, and Level ...

Integrated modules can save time and overcome a great many design obstacles, writes David Pashley In the past few years, systems on modules (SoMs) have gained ground and become the default approach for projects needing a processor capable of running a ‘rich OS’ (such as Linux) rather than a simple microcontroller. These are usually Arm Cortex‑A class devices, which appear ...

Green Hills Software has signed a deal with Sectigo to offer Icon Labs Embedded Firewall integrated and optimised with Green Hills’ Integrity RTOS, and its embedded TCP/IP v4/v6 host and router networking stack. “Most cyber attacks on embedded systems remain undetected until it is too late,” according to Sectigo v-p Alan Grau. “Early detection is critical as it maximises the safety of ...
