On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Daniel Knobloch, vice president of the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) talks the development and standardization of the CCC Digital Key, which utilizes near field communication (NFC), Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to enable keyless vehicle access.

Then, on the next installment of Dev Talk with Rich and Vin, the two discuss compute processing in vehicles. Specifically, the pros and cons of choosing a centralized or decentralized system and how weight, cost, efficiency, and security differ between the two.

But first, we’re hearing from Brandon and Rich who, ahead of their trip to Nuremberg for embedded world 2023, are discussing the difference between free and open-source, and what considerations you should make before using either or both.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Brandon and Associate Editor, Taryn Engmark,  speak with Abhijit Grewal, Director of Marketing Smart Cities Business at Silicon Labs, about the company’s new flagship sub-Ghz SoC, the FG25. Designed for long-range, low-power transmissions in Smart City IoT applications, the SoC is the first in  Silicon Labs’ portfolio to support orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulations.

Next, Rich Nass and Vin D'Agostino are back with the next installment of Dev Talk with Rich and Vin where this week the two are answering the question, “Should companies be investing and integrating in AI technology into their solutions?” 

But first, Brandon and Rich discuss the popular and widely used computer-on-module standard, COM Express. Currently, the standard can be licensed at a membership cost but once the information is collected, it’s often shared to other parties for free. Which bring us to the question, “should COM Express be free?”

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Rich and Dave Priscak, Vice President of Technical Solutions and Selling at Ambiq, discuss the need for development kits, what engineers are looking for when selecting one, and Ambiq’s role in providing both new and existing customers with this hardware.

Next, we’re back with another episode of Dev Talk with Rich and Vin, where this week the two are also discussing development boards. More specifically, their rise in popularity, their cost efficiency, and the different target applications that can be achieved by using one. 

But first, Brandon and Rich are once again discussing the potential death of the 8-bit microcontroller with the prevalence of the 32-bit, which offers a lot more performance. And although makers of 32-bit CPUs continue to drive their prices down with the hope of eventually replacing  8 bit CPUs, we aren't there yet, and only time will tell.

On this episode of the Embedded Insiders, the weary team recounts their adventures at the recent CES show in Las Vegas. From software-defined vehicles to the Matter interoperability standard and everything in between, Brandon, Rich, and Associate Editor Tiera Oliver discuss their favorite show trends that will shape the tech world of tomorrow.

To read more about CES 2023, check out the “Floored: CES 2023 Slideshow Recap” series on embeddedcomputing.com. Now, Tiera is joined by Pedro Lopez-Estepa, Director of Automotive at Real-Time Innovations to discuss the adoption of Software-Defined Vehicles.

Later, Pedro Lopez-Estepa of Real-Time Innovations joins to discuss how the connectivity company is preparing for the imminent vehicle architecture shifts that will be required to support the software-defined vehicles of the future. Not only will this transition impact the number and performance of onboard embedded processors, it will also reshape automotive value chains to the point that whoever controls the software supply chain controls the car.

On this Episode of Embedded Insiders we’re joined by Founder and CTO of Croquet, David Smith, to discuss the company’s Portals technology which is designed to securely connect 3D, web-based spaces where developers from different parties can link their virtual worlds together.

Next, we’re highlighting a collaboration between the European Space Agency, Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions, Skylabs, and the University of Maribor in Slovenia, who are making use of open-source RISC-V processor technology for mission-specific applications, like the TRISAT-R nanosatellite, and software functions.

But first, Brandon and Rich recap the recent RISC-V summit in San Jose, which gave insight to the massive appeal and adoption of RISC-V technology in a wide range of application areas.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Brandon is joined by Grant Courville, Vice President of Products and Strategy for Automotive and Mission Critical IoT at BlackBerry QNX, to discuss autonomous vehicle regulations, standards for safety-critical systems, and how technologies like BlackBerry’s safe and secure QNX Hypervisor have progressed into the automotive sector. 

Next, we’re back with the next installment of DevTalk with Rich and Vin, featuring Embedded Computing Design’s EVP and Brand Director, Rich Nass, and Embedded Systems Expert, Vin D'Agostino. This time the two are discussing the functions that should be implemented in software versus hardware.

But first, Brandon and Rich delve into the ongoing political tension surrounding the US chip sanctions on China, which have led the increased interest and possible adoption of RISC-V technology.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders Julie Robinson, Director of Product Management at Rockwell Automation, gives us an introduction to the company’s recently announced FactoryTalk Design Hub, a software hub designed to ease and accelerate cross collaboration and productivity for automation design teams. 

Then, we’re finally back with a Success Story about how Keysight, Wind River, Vodafone, Intel, and Radisys came together to design, develop, and test a disaggregated, multi-vendor “green” O-RAN solution to manage high traffic and power consumption in radio access networks. 

But first, Brandon and Rich highlight some of the technologies, products, and solutions that were featured at the much anticipated electronica 2022 trade fair.

Next, we’re introducing a new series in our podcast called Dev Talk with Rich and Vin, featuring our EVP and Brand Director Rich Nass and Embedded Systems Expert, Vin D'Agostino. This week the two are discussing real-time operating systems and how to know whether you’ll need one in your design. 

But first, Brandon and Rich are back with more information about what seems to be an ongoing chip shortage. A recent study from Avnet reveals that the shortage is not letting up when it comes to consumer electronics and is actually getting worse due to longer lead times for the development of chips. What’s to come next, we’ll have to wait and see.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, we’re joined by Paul Butcher, Senior Software Engineer at AdaCore, to discuss how AI can make fuzz testing even more robust through the integration of techniques like symbolic execution and input-to-state correspondence that optimize test data sets against scenarios a system might encounter in the real world.

Next, Brandon heads back into the Industrial Metaverse with part 2 of a Blueprints series – created in partnership with Bosch, Cloud Blue, the MathWorks, NVIDIA, and Siemens – which reveals how the combination of cyber-physical systems, model-based systems engineering, and digital twins can provide a path to solving some of the world’s most complex problems.

But first, Brandon and Rich express their hesitations about the European Commission’s proposed Cyber Resilience Act, which requires manufacturers to protect their IoT and IIoT device from unauthorized access at all stages of the product lifecycle.
