Opportunities And Challenges With Open-Source Hardware In System Development
By Roland Jancke - 13 Nov, 2025 - Comments: 0

For many years now, there has been a trend toward open source in the field of system development. It can be seen in software libraries for the product itself as well as in development tools. A clear motivation for open source lies in the fact that not charging license fees makes a product more attractive on the market. It may also enable further development of the software component, dependi... » read more

Why Openness Matters For AI At The Edge
By Nina Turner - 06 Nov, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI continues to migrate towards the edge and is no longer confined to the data center. Edge AI brings several key advantages, delivering intelligence closer to where data is generated, improving latency for critical functions, ensuring privacy by limiting transmitted data, and reducing energy consumption for AI. Edge AI encompasses systems performing AI inferencing directly where data is cre... » read more

How The Cyber Resilience Act Shifts Open-Source Responsibility To Vendors
By Marc Witteman - 09 Oct, 2025 - Comments: 0

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), adopted last year, aims to strengthen product security in several ways. One of its most ambitious goals is the elimination of exploitable vulnerabilities from digital products. Vendors are now obligated to identify vulnerabilities, resolve them before delivery, and continue addressing them throughout the product’s lifecycle. The scale of the challenge The ... » read more

Security Concerns Weigh Down Open-Source EDA
By Adam Kovac - 10 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Open-source EDA tools are free, readily available, and growing in numbers, but many chipmakers are wary of using them due to security concerns. On the plus side, proponents say these tools can help attract fresh new talent to chip design. Yet despite their spread online — GitHub alone has more than 140 EDA-specific repositories — using visible source code can provide new avenues of attac... » read more
