Renesas and partners have collected together hardware, operating systems, software and design tools needed to develop the electronics in a software-defined vehicle. Branded ‘R-Car Open Access’ and ‘RoX’, with it “engineers can start building their software using an integrated tool chain even before the hardware is available”, according to Renesas. “This is made possible through the cloud environment and the ...

Microchip Technology has announced its next-generation in-circuit emulator for its microcontrollers and microprocessor, including Atmel-created parts such as AVR and SAM. Called MPLAB ICE 4, it connects with a host via SuperSpeed USB 3.0, High-Speed USB 2.0, Ethernet or Wi-Fi. “Ethernet connectivity provides remote debugging for applications which are monitored over long distance. Further, Wi-Fi connectivity is excellent for providing isolation from ...

Lattice has updated its mVision embedded vision and Sentry security tool suits. mVision 2.0 has expanded support for automotive, industrial and medical embedded vision, with new development boards supporting popular image sensors for industrial and medical applications including Sony’s IMX464 and IMX568, and the AR0344CS from ON Semiconductor. Support for Lattice Propel Design Environment has also been added, aiming at ...

iWave’s has created a development platform around Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ ICs that supports HDMI 2.0 at up to 18Gbit/s and video resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz. “The emergence of HDMI 2.0 and the widespread acceptance of this technology is making a deep impact on the multimedia and entertainment industry,” according to iWave, “The urge to support high-speed data transmission ...

CSR is supporting the ARM mbed embedded development platform to bring wireless interface to projects for the developing internet of things (IoT). The aim is to simplifiy the integration of wireless interfaces in mbed embedded designs, based on NXP, ST, and Freescale microcontrollers, including Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart, Wi-Fi and GPS. “Whether a developer wants to build a consumer wireless home security system or requires connection for ...

Distributors Digi-Key and Mouser are taking orders for “Raspberry Pi competitor” the BeagleBone Black $45 computer based around a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor

Integrated Device Technology and Texas Instruments have developed a 3G basestation development platform to speed design times and provide quicker access to systems for software teams. In the process, IDT said its pre-processing switch (PPS) is now fully interoperable with digital signal processors (DSP) from TI. IDT designed the pre-processor to offload DSP tasks. Aimed at wireless baseband processing applications that ...
