Think In Blocks
By Brian Fuller - 15 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

It always seems to come back to LEGOs, doesn’t it? Earlier this year I wrote about Google Project Ara, the so-called “LEGO” smart phone architecture unveiled in April. Project Ara uses the MIPI Alliance UniPro and M-PHY protocols as the backbone for a modular electronics architecture inside a smart phone “endoskeleton.” Using electro-permanent magnets (they don’t need a perma... » read more

Smart Lighting Application Using ARM NanoService Solution
By Arm - 14 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The NanoService solution leverages the power of the Web architecture for developing and deploying smart lighting systems efficiently and securely. The NanoService solution consists of software for devices (endpoints in an M2M or Internet of Things deployment), backend servers and Web applications that together form an end-to-end platform. The NanoService solution can be applied to virtually ... » read more

Rambus' Aharon Etengoff explores how new optical interfaces are aiding the burgeoning field of optogenetics, which combines genetic targeting of specific neurons or proteins with optical technology to study living neural circuits. Anand Shirahatti, Divyang Mali, and Naveen G of Synopsys team up to explain three features that make the MIPI UniPro mobile interconnect stand out, along with the ... » read more

Security In 2.5D
By Ed Sperling - 12 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 2

The long-anticipated move to 2.5D and fan-outs is raising some familiar questions about security. Will multiple chips combined in an advanced package be as secure as SoCs where everything is integrated on the same die? The answer isn't a simple yes or no. Put in perspective, all chips are vulnerable to [getkc id="253" kc_name="side channel attacks"], hacking of memory—a risk that increases... » read more

High-Speed Systems Need High-Speed Parts For Prototyping
By Rich Wawrzyniak - 12 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

One of the ironies of prototyping for high-speed system design using FPGAs is that in the past most FPGAs did not run at the speeds required by the end system. Many of these FPGAs today have high speed SerDes channels used for communicating with other elements of the system at close to the speeds specified by the designer. Unfortunately most of the FPGAs used for the prototyping phase of the sy... » read more

Rolling Out Automotive Security
By Ann Mutschler - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The automotive world has traditionally been a secretive place as automakers made it their mission to hold design plans as close to their vests as possible. With complexity in the automotive design process, that tradition has been changing as automakers work ever more closely with their ecosystem. In one example, Adam Sherer, product management group director for automotive safety in the S... » read more

Blog Review: Oct. 7

Ansys' Sunil Nakum takes a look at backing up the brain and concludes that we would need to keep following Moore's Law for a long time given the current approaches and leave several questions unanswered. There is a battle brewing between high-efficiency LED lighting and vintage-style Edison bulbs. With the latest lighting fad, Mentor's John McMillan asks, is style and nostalgia beating high-... » read more
