TEE.fail: When Your Security System Leaves the Window Open


Let’s talk about a cybersecurity attack that’s been making waves: TEE.fail. TEE stands for Trusted Execution Environment. Sounds reassuring, right? But here’s the kicker: exactly what a TEE is, and what it’s supposed to guarantee, is surprisingly unclear. TEEs have been around for about a decade, but as with many things in security, the rules are more like guidelines. You might think, �... » read more

What The EU Cyber Resilience Act Means For Digital Product Makers


The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to become a defining regulation for all manufacturers and developers of digital products that touch the EU market. It introduces strict requirements for cybersecurity practices, risk management, and compliance procedures, affecting a wide range of stakeholders from software developers to hardware vendors. This article unpacks what the CRA is, who it af... » read more

PAwR Simplified: Zephyr And Bluetooth LE 5.4 In Action


If you have ever wanted to see ideas turn into synchronized signals and signals evolve into perfectly timed communication, Bluetooth LE 5.4’s PAwR (Periodic Advertising with Responses) delivers just that. By organizing communication into periodic events, subevents, and response slots, PAwR enables low-power devices to operate in precise rhythm, much like dancers coordinated by a choreograph... » read more

Charting The Course For A Truly Multi-Modal Device Edge


The world is witnessing an AI tsunami. While the initial waves of this technological shift focused heavily on the cloud, a powerful new surge is now building at the edge. This rapid infusion of artificial intelligence is set to redefine IoT devices and applications, from sophisticated smart homes to highly efficient industrial environments. This evolution, however, has created significant fr... » read more

Reduce Noise And Improve Fan Performance With Serrated Edges


Industrial fans are widely utilized across various sectors, including manufacturing, automotive, and energy production, playing a vital role in ventilation and cooling. However, a notable drawback of these powerful machines is the significant noise they produce, which can range from 70 to 120 decibels. A primary contributor to this noise is the aerodynamic turbulence created by the fan blades. ... » read more

Small Language Models Create New Security Risks


The rollout of edge AI is creating new security risks due to a mix of small language models (SLMs), their integration into increasingly complex hardware, and the behavior and interactions of both over time. AI data centers still garner the most attention due to massive investments and an ongoing flood of deals and acquisitions, but the edge is quietly starting to take shape for several reaso... » read more

Physical AI Takes Functional Safety Cues From Automotive


Robots are becoming smarter, more capable, and more pervasive, setting the stage for a whole new round of growth that will touch nearly every part of the semiconductor and software industries for decades to come. Robots are at the core of physical AI, a broad segment of edge AI systems that interact with the world through artificial intelligence and sensors. This includes everything from hum... » read more

Building Custom Graphics Cards For Cloud Gaming


The global cloud gaming market will reach over $20B by 2030, with Asia Pacific representing 45% of the opportunity according to Grandview Research. However, incumbent GPU solutions were designed for data center compute, not the unique economics of cloud gaming, where profitability depends on maximizing concurrent users per GPU while maintaining a premium user experience. For companies devel... » read more

Harnessing Silicon Lifecycle Management For Chip Security


Silicon lifecycle management is starting to be used in ways that extend well beyond its original mission of ensuring a chip functions to spec throughout its expected lifetime. While tracking aging effects and component failures are still important, the technology also is being deployed to proactively monitor, authenticate, and respond to potential threats in real-time. In fact, not applying ... » read more

The Future of Powering AI


We are at the dawn of the next technological revolution. A revolution driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and accelerating at an unprecedented speed. At the end of 2022, with the launch of ChatGPT, our world changed significantly; within two months, it gained 100 million active users. AI not only has the potential to transform every area of life, be it financial services, digital assistants,... » read more
