Trouble Ahead For IP industry?
By Brian Bailey - 14 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

[getkc id="106" kc_name="Power-aware design"] has risen from an afterthought to a primary design constraint for some design types. Initially it was smart phones and other battery operated devices. It has consistently expanded into additional areas including those plugged into the wall and those plugged into the grid. Some parts of the world are imposing restrictions on the power that a device c... » read more

Is The IoT Safe To Use?
By Ernest Worthman - 11 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

By Ernest Worthman & Ed Sperling Data security has been a problem since well before the invention the computer, and it has been getting progressively more difficult to contain every year for the past eight decades. It was made much worse when computing was decentralized with the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981, made worse again when networking was introduced into corporations by Novell'... » read more

The Week In Review: Design/IoT
By Jesse Allen - 08 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

Embedded Mentor Graphics released a new version of their Nucleus RTOS with a focus on high-performance IoT and wearable applications. Updates include support for Dynamic Linking and Loading (DLL) capabilities in Cortex-M based cores; the ability for developers to reconfigure, update, and provision connected embedded devices that utilize cloud-based remote software services; and TI WiLink 8 m... » read more

The Next Generation Of Wearables
By Ernest Worthman - 07 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

As the wearable market begins to take root, so has the focus on ultra-low power design—with some unique headaches that are unique to wearables. To begin with, there is much attention being paid to this market because of the almost staggering predictions associated with it. While numbers vary greatly, IDC predicts as many as 126 million units will be shipping annually by 2019. The five-year... » read more

Challenges For The IIoT
By Ed Sperling - 07 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

Unlike the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"], which is largely still a collection of connected devices that don't always play well together, the Industrial Internet of Things ([getkc id="78" kc_name="IIoT"]) already is in heavy use and growing across a number of markets well outside of the usual markets associated with semiconductors. A Morgan Stanley "blue paper" report issued la... » read more

It’s Dark Out There
By Ernest Worthman - 07 May, 2015 - Comments: 1

A while back, probably a year or so now, there was a blip on the radar screen about something called the “dark Internet.” I had pigeon holed that for later and frankly, just forgot about it. But a recent conversation I had with one of my SMEs circled around to that. So I though I’s see how the current scene has evolved, especially in light of the evolving IoT/E. There has always been ... » read more

Get Ready For More Biometrics
By Ernest Worthman - 07 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

Security involving scans of fingerprints, palms, faces, or some other variant has been common in movies for years, and many phones and computers now offer fingerprint scans instead of a password login. But as security risks rise with the rollout of the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"]/Internet of Everything, that technology will need to become much more pervasive and sophisticated. ... » read more

Internet Of Things Design Considerations For Embedded Connected Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 07 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

Embedded connectivity has been around since the early days of M2M. But what is new are the many complexities and emerging standards embedded system developers need to know if they are to design the latest IoT device. This paper delves into many of the key considerations developers need to know and discusses the critical areas of IoT security and connectivity along with the importance of a prove... » read more

Problems Ahead For EDA
By Brian Bailey - 27 Apr, 2015 - Comments: 0

You may have discovered that the Semiconductor Engineering Knowledge Center (KC) provides various ways in which data can be viewed. One way is to see what events happened in a given year. During the 1990s, company activity in terms of new startups and acquisitions reached a peak, and in 1997 there were at least 29 startups that the KC contains and 25 companies acquired (let us know if there wer... » read more

Is Art Acceptable In Verification?
By Brian Bailey - 23 Apr, 2015 - Comments: 0

The industry appears to have accepted that [getkc id="10" kc_name="verification"] involves art as well as science. This is usually based on one of three reasons, namely: the problem is large and complex; there is a lack of understanding and tools that enable it to be automated; and if it could be made a science, all of the jobs would have migrated offshore. Today, designs are built from pre-... » read more
