Drone Heads Into Thin Air
By Brian Fuller - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

The drone copter was being held prisoner. While ARM engineer Matt Du Puy and his fellow climbers were rotating between camps on Kanchenjunga preparing to ascend the world’s third-highest peak, a key new addition to his ARM-powered electronics kit was being held back by Nepalese customs officials. The drone copter was shipped to Kathmandu several weeks ago for Matt and team to pick up be... » read more

IIoT Grows, But So Do Risks
By Jeff Dorsch - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 1

By Jeff Dorsch & Ed Sperling After years of fitful progress, [getkc id="78" kc_name="Industrial Internet of Things"] technology is gaining adoption on the factory floor, in the electrical power grid, and other areas that could do with greater amounts of data analysis and insights from a connected ecosystem. AT&T, General Electric, IBM, Verizon Communications, and other large ... » read more

Putting A Hardware Root-of-Trust To Work In An Anti-Counterfeiting IC
By Scott Best - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 1

An anti-counterfeiting security IC is conceptually rather simple: during manufacture, it is securely programmed with some secret data. Then during operation, it can prove to a verifying host that it knows that secret data. This “proof of knowledge” is often all that can be expected of a low-cost security IC. This prove-you-know-the-secret authentication process between the security IC an... » read more

Autonomous Cars Drive New Software
By Ann Mutschler - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Autonomous driving and other advanced features will require much more sophisticated software than what is used in vehicles today. To make this all work will require complex algorithms as well as co-designed hardware, which can make real-time decisions to avoid accidents and adjust to changing road conditions. Automobiles already take advantage of sophisticated software executed by a variety ... » read more

Sensors, Sensors Everywhere
By Amin Kashi - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Here’s a statement that will surprise no one: autonomous driving was once again a big theme last month at SAE World Congress in Detroit. This is the case at nearly any automotive or tech show these days. There were dozens of displays related to self-driving tech on the exhibit floor, a fact captured in the various social media feeds and news coverage of the event. Mentor was part of this s... » read more

Secret Sauce To Make Design Reuse A Reality
By Ranjit Adhikary - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

In a globally competitive landscape, IP reuse and effective team collaboration play a crucial role in product success. But if one considers the complex dynamics of all the recent advances in technology, the insatiable appetite for consumer electronics coupled with the design cost and time-to-market pressures on designers, one would not be unjustified in assuming that the problem of design reuse... » read more

Verification And The IoT
By Ed Sperling - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what impact the IoT will have on the design cycle, with Christopher Lawless, director of external customer acceleration in [getentity id="22846" e_name="Intel"]'s Software Services Group; David Lacey, design and verification technologist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise; Jim Hogan, managing partner at Vista Ventures; Frank Schirrmeister, senior group d... » read more

Embedded FPGA — A New System-Level Programming Paradigm
By Achronix - 03 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

The current public debate on the future of the semiconductor industry has turned to discussions about a growing selection of technologies that, rather than obsessing on further process geometry shrinks, focuses instead on new system architectures and better use of available silicon through new concepts in circuit, device, and packaging design. Embedded FPGA is the latest offering that promises ... » read more

In Search of Life On The Exoplanets
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 03 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Space exploration is a constant driver of scientists around the world, searching for life on planets outside our solar system (exoplanets). The news is often filled by wondrous discoveries and promising leads that point to potential life outside of Earth. This search often depends on a key piece of technology – the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that accurately maps analog imaging to a dig... » read more

Tech Talk: eFPGA Acceleration
By Ed Sperling - 03 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Achronix's Kent Orthner talks about when and why to use embedded FPGAs, and how they co-exist with—and compare to—other processing elements. [youtube vid=TXeIOmo7O9o] » read more
