Virtualization In The Car
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 1

As the automotive industry grapples with complexity due to electrification and increasing autonomy of vehicles, consolidation of ECUs within vehicles, more stringent safety and security requirements, automotive ecosystem players are looking to virtualization concepts in a number of ways to realize the vehicles of tomorrow. One way is with hardware virtualization; the ability of a device such... » read more

WiFi Evolves For The IoT
By Bryon Moyer - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

WiFi is everywhere, and it’s the most prevalent of the communication protocols that use unlicensed spectrum. But as a common protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT), it faces challenges both because of congestion and the amount of energy it consumes. Two new approaches aim to address those concerns. One is to use multiple channels at once. The second involves the new 802.11ah HaLow stand... » read more

Accellera Tackles Functional Safety
By Paul McLellan - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

During DAC, Accellera had a workshop about functional safety. In case you don't know, Accellera has a relatively new working group (WG) on Functional Safety. The chair is Cadence's Alessandra Nardi, who coincidentally also received the Marie Pistilli Award for Women in EDA during DAC (you can read more about that in my post Alessandra Nardi Receives Marie Pistilli Award for Women in EDA). But ... » read more

Re-Imagining Electrical System Design
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Electrical system complexity is reaching a tipping point across industries, from modern passenger vehicles to sophisticated industrial machines that can now contain nearly 5,000 wiring harnesses. The electrical systems of these machines contain multiple networks, thousands of sensors and actuators, miles of wiring and tens of thousands of discrete components. Designing these complex systems is ... » read more

USB4: User Expectations Drive Design Complexity
By Synopsys - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

This white paper outlines the capabilities of USB4 Hosts, Hubs, Docks, and Devices with an emphasis on how end-user expectations drive the complexity of USB4 products. USB4 is the most complex USB specification so far and requires designers to understand the USB4, USB 3.2, USB 2.0, USB Type-C, and the USB Power Delivery specifications. Designers must also understand PCIe and DisplayPort specifi... » read more

How Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) Technology Protects Embedded Systems
By Maxim Integrated - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Security experts have been excited about the promise of physically unclonable function (PUF) technology for many years. It wasn't until recently, however, that reliable, cost-effective ICs with integrated PUF technology became available on the market. What's driving all of the excitement over PUF? In this white paper, I'll demystify PUF and highlight how it benefits a variety of embedded system... » read more

Startup Funding: July 2020
By Jesse Allen - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

A number of semiconductor and design companies took in funding this month, from a mega round for a data center switch maker to seed grants for two Canadian companies and new funding for an IP marketplace. China continues to be a hot area for electric vehicles, with one company raising half a billion for its two models currently in production. For July, we highlight fifteen startups that raised ... » read more

Shifting The Burden Of Tool Safety Compliance From Users To Vendors
By OneSpin Solutions - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Functional safety standards demand that this risk be assessed and adequately minimized through tool qualification and other processes. For engineering teams, this is a time-consuming task and, worryingly, one for which there are no mature solutions yet. Tool vendors may provide safety certificates or packages, in an attempt to support their customers with safety compliance. Strategies... » read more

Measurable Hardware Security With Mitre CWEs
By Tortuga Logic - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

In this new white paper, you will learn how MITRE’s new hardware of Common Weakness Enumerations (CWE) can assist the development team in threat modeling and security validation. Here is a 5-steps CWE validation process to significantly save time, resources, and money on FPGA, ASIC, and SoC design. Click here to continue reading. » read more
