My podcast guest this week is Wayne Lyons, Automotive Director at AMD. Wayne and I discuss the trends encouraging the development of software defined vehicles, how AMD is furthering innovation in many different areas within automotive design and the trends Wayne sees sharing the future of automotive technology.
I wish you could visit me in Max’s World, where everything is bigger, brighter, and more colorful. The birds sing sweeter (and in harmony), the flowers are more fragrant, the butterflies are more brillacious—a neologism of brilliant and bodacious that I just invented—and the beer flows plentifully and cold. Most importantly, everyone is nice, kind, honorable, and trustworthy. No one would even dream … Read More → "AI-Based PCBA Machine Vision Solution Ensures Supply Chain Integrity"
I don’t really recall when I first ran across the concept of the binary. I think I must have been around six years old. I remember getting a lined pad and pencil and starting to capture the sequence: 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000… until I’d filled the entire pad. I also remember being surprised that I hadn’t “reached the end” of the binary count sequence (it was some … Read More → "Everything You Wanted to Know About LFSRs (But Were Too Afraid to Ask)"
Just as I was finishing my previous article about a new TI microcontroller that was smaller than a grain of white rice and sold for 16 cents in thousand-unit quantities, I learned of another new microcontroller based on a proprietary implementation of the 32-bit RISC-V processor ISA that sells for 10 cents (presumably in volume). This new microcontroller from WCH, aka Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics, a Chinese chip and IP … Read More → "A 10-cent RISC-V microcontroller from China? Why not?"
Embedded Software is the name of the game this week my friends! My podcast guest is Jacob Beningo of the Beningo Embedded Group. Jacob and I chat about what the three elements of embedded software Jacob believes everyone should know and how each of these elements can affect development. We also explore what motivated Jacob to develop the Embedded Software Academy and where Jacob sees embedded … Read More → "Embedded Software Academy: How Beningo is Educating the Next Generation of Embedded Developers"
We are surrounded by a multiplicity of materials, from metals and alloys to crystals, glasses, and ceramics; from polymers and plastics to organic and living-derived substances; and let’s not forget natural materials like stone and exotic materials like aerogel.
The amazing thing to me is that all these materials are formed from different combinations of the same small group of elements. For … Read More → "Quantum Simulations of New Materials for the 21st Century"
