Open Source Faces Challenges In 2020
By Paul McLellan - 09 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

I recently wrote a couple of posts about open-source EDA tools, OpenROAD: Open-Source EDA from RTL to GDSII and 2nd WOSET Workshop on Open-Source EDA. I have also written about open-source in general, as an approach to development and an approach to business in a post from over four years ago that I think stands up well: The Paradox of Open Source. The reason I called it a paradox is that ... » read more

Using Hypervisor For IVI And AUTOSAR Consolidation On An ECU
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 08 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

Current approaches used to tackle the complexities described earlier in this paper (cockpit domain units) are both cost-prohibitive and lacking in performance. Utilizing virtualization in automotive software architecture provides a better approach when taking on these complexities. This can be achieved by encapsulating different heterogeneous automotive platforms inside virtual machines running... » read more

Open Source Hardware Risks
By Ann Mutschler - 08 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0
