Socionext is showing off its latest graphics chip at Embedded World which uses  an Imagination PowerVR Series8XE GPU core. Socionext’s SC1810 is aimed at embedded graphical industrial and automotive applications such as camera based driver information systems, cluster and further information displays such as head-up display (HUD) units, passenger displays or rear seat entertainment systems. The SC1810 has a quad-core ...

Imagination Technologies has announced expanded support of Express Logic’s industrial grade ThreadX RTOS (real time operating system) for its CPUs based on the multi-threaded MIPS I-class I6400 processor core. According to Jim Nicholas, executive vice-president, MIPS Processor IP, Imagination, says the use of hardware multi-threading technology allows developers to efficiently exploit inherent parallelism in their workloads. Typical embedded applications for the 64-bit MIPS CPUs are digital ...

One in five companies has begun rolling out internet of things (IoT) services and products, and half of those surveyed say IoT will be an important part of their business strategy, writes Bee Hayes-Thakore, director of marketing programmes for IoT at ARM. This is according to the latest Economist Intelligence Unit IoT Business Index, published in February this year. Bee Hayes-Thakore, writes ...

Microchip will announce at the Embedded World exhibition starting tomorrow in Nuremberg three new tinyAVR microcontrollers with more on-chip memory. These AVR devices feature Microchip’s Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), which run independently of the core processor. The tinyAVR MCUs now offer 16kbyte flash, 256byte EEPROM, and 2kbyte RAM in 14-, 20-, and 24-pin packages. As well as the standard Event System Controller, which ...

Renesas Electronics has introduced a rotational flow demonstration kit for its RL78/I1D microcontroller that is designed to detect and measure the flow of water or gas in metering applications. The flow measurement system is designed to run for 35 years powered by a 2600mAh battery, says the supplier. The rotational flow demonstration kit detects the rotational position using the MCU’s ...

To provide hardware with authentication and to secure small data transactions between the device and the cloud Maxim Integrated has developed an embedded security reference design. Using elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) public-key cryptography, the MAXREFDES155 reference design is intended for the development of devices for authenticating and managing a sensing node with control and notification from a web ...

Embedded World 2017, starting in Nuremberg will Weightless-P network hardware in action. An alternative to LPWAN technologies in unlicensed spectrum, Ubiik is launching a Weightless-P Kit at the show, the Weightless Ignition Pack. The pack includes the hardware required to deploy, demonstrate, evaluate and develop Weightless-P IoT networks, says the company. Addressing the Internet of Things, the Weightless-P Specification, was ...
