Embedded Edge

In this episode of Embedded Edge, we’re thrilled to be joined by Michael Förtsch, CEO of Q.ANT, a pioneering company at the forefront of photonic computing. With a focus on using light instead of electricity, Q.ANT’s innovation promises not just higher computational density but also a dramatic reduction in energy consumption. Today, we’ll dive into the fundamental differences between traditional silicon-based systems and photonic computing, the potential of thin-film lithium niobate in this revolution and the broader impact on industries.

Infineon's VP Sivaram Trikutam and Nitin Dahad explore new insights in IoT landscape as the use of Wi-Fi 6/6E expands and why it serves as the foundation for current and next-generation IoT designs. We'll discuss technology trends, typical applications, future predictions and how Wi-Fi 6/6E will make our lives and IoT devices more convenient and energy efficient. 

In this episode, François Baldassari from Memfault explains the concept of observability and why he believes there’s a reliability crisis in today’s embedded software. He does this in the context of changing business models for IoT deployments, from selling devices to selling solutions as a service, and why that requires vendors to identify issues in the field before the customer does. He also talks about why today’s IoT developers need to consider the benefits of open source or third-party software vs build-your-own software, and how Memfault’s blended approach offers a strategic advantage as part of an integrated software quality strategy.

In this embedded edge podcast, we address some of the likely causes and implications of the recent global IT outage caused by a Crowdstrike software update for Microsoft operating system-based devices. 

In this podcast, we talk focus on security, talking to Infineon Technologies about the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and its implications for the entire supply chain, plus a chat with zeroRISC about the role of open-source silicon security in embedded systems and IoT.

We are currently experiencing a significant turning point in the semiconductor industry, marked by the rapid adoption of heterogeneous integration of dies into a single package. This new architecture presents unique challenges and demands. However, one thing is certain: the industry needs an interconnect that quickly and reliably links the dies. The Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) has emerged as the leading standard for die-to-die connectivity due to its flexibility, comprehensive stack support, and technical strengths. This podcast delves into the UCIe standard, describing the challenges it helps designers tackle, some of the progress since its inception, and ways to maximize UCIe beyond the standard’s definition. We will also explain how to best utilize UCIe to cater to your specific application needs.

In this podcast, we talk about MCUs, automotive memory and clock generators through interviews from embedded world 2024 with executives from STMicroelectronics, Micron Technology, SiTime, and Nuvoton. 

In this embedded edge with Nitin podcast, we explore megatrends in memory and storage in automotive, virtualization and development tool support for automotive SoCs, and embedded vision, through interviews with Micron Technology, Green Hills Software, and e-con Systems.

In this episode, we talk about formal verification (FV) with Dr Ashish Darbari, founder, and CEO of Axiomise. We talk about the role of FV in enabling designs to be shipped bug-free, how FV helps developers and where it fits in the design flow, whether it’s in embedded AI, IoT or high-performance computing (HPC). We also learn about Axiomise – from the company’s founding in 2017 to its impact in today’s embedded world.

In this podcast, we chat with ProvenRun and Crypto Quantique about secure operating systems and hardware IP for the IoT, and with Cascoda on the success of KNX in smart buildings.
