For SoC ISO 26262 Compliance, Should All EDA Tools Be TCL1?
By Mary Ann White - 02 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 2

ISO 26262, the automotive functional safety standard, requires the assessment of software tool confidence levels (TCLs) as either a TCL1, TCL2 or TCL3.  Part 8:2011, clause 11.4.5 of the ISO 26262 standard provides a methodology with guidance for software tool classification and qualification. It applies to software tools used for the development of safety-critical designs where it is essentia... » read more

Automotive Cyber Security: From OTA Updates To Anti-Counterfeiting
By Joe Gullo - 02 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

The National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) defines automotive cyber security as the protection of vehicular electronic systems, communication networks, control algorithms, software, users and underlying data from malicious attacks, damage, unauthorized access, or manipulation. From our perspective, automotive cyber security is one primary concern the industry must immediately addres... » read more

New Interconnect Makes eFPGA Dense And Portable
By Geoff Tate - 02 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

FPGAs were invented over 30 years ago. Today they are much bigger and faster, but their basic architecture remains unchanged: logic blocks formed around LUTs (look-up-tables) in a sea of mesh (x/y grid) interconnect with a matrix of switches at every “intersection.” One FPGA company executive once said they don’t really sell programmable logic, they sell programmable interconnect, beca... » read more

How To Build A Trillion Connected Things
By Rob Aitken - 23 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

A trillion is a big number. A broadcaster reads about 1,000 words in a five-minute newscast. At that rate, it would take 6,000 years at that rate to finish a trillion-word newscast. We’re on a path in the technology industry to build and connect a trillion devices in the coming years. How are we going to do that, given the scale and sheer size of the task? Is it achievable in the time f... » read more

Testing Autonomous Vehicles
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

After I wrote last month about my concerns about the pending legislation that appears to relax safety regulations for autonomous vehicles being tested on public roads, it seems I am not alone and some safety groups have also expressed concern. Of course, the promise of autonomous driving is exciting and will absolutely save lives — when the technology and infrastructure are ready — there... » read more

IoT Security: Technology Is Only One Part Of The Equation
By Warren Kurisu - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Survey after survey on the adoption of the IoT punctuates that security and data privacy continue to be the top concerns with any new implementation. It used to be that security was all about protecting data (business, personal ID, etc.), but as more devices are connected to the IoT, security concerns reach far beyond just the value inherent in the data. According to Gartner, nearly 5.5 ... » read more

Basics Of Embedded FPGA Acceleration
By Alok Sanghavi - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Making a chip run faster is no longer guaranteed by shrinking features or moving to a different manufacturing process. It now requires a fundamental change in the architecture of the chip itself. The days of the single-processor, or even single multi-core processors, are gone. The focus has shifted to different kinds of processors for different kinds of data and many different protocols and ... » read more

Let’s Talk About Securing The Industrial Internet of Things
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

What is the IIoT? Objects, sensors, actuators and controllers that were once designed for stand-alone operation are now increasingly connected by means of intelligent software and networks – forming the basis of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). To be sure, GE defines the IIoT as “a network of a multitude of devices connected by communications technologies that results in systems t... » read more

The Importance Of Wi-Fi
By Prabhu Loganathan - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Wi-Fi has had a huge impact on the modern world, and it will continue to do so. From home wireless networks to offices and public spaces, the ubiquity of high speed connectivity without reliance on cables has radically changed the way computing happens. It would not be much of an exaggeration to say that because of ready access to Wi-Fi, we are consequently able to lead better lives – using o... » read more

Achieving ISO 26262 Certification With ASIL-Ready IP
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 1

According to an article by McKinsey, “analysts predict revenue growth for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to be up to 29 percent, giving the segment one of the highest growth rates in the automotive and related industries.” This opportunity has invigorated the automotive supply chain to increase their R&D investments for faster product innovations. The focus on innovation is e... » read more
