Magma Rising

How Rajeev Madhavan is Taking Magma to the Next Level

In this week’s Fish Fry, I interview Rajeev Madhavan (Magma CEO) about Magma’s Silicon One initiative, how he thinks Magma fits into the EDA ecosystem and where EDA should be headed in the future. Also, Mentor Graphics plays musical product lines and Catapult C finds itself with a chair….at another company. I’ll give some wild speculation on what actually happened.

I have a DE0-Nano Development Board to give out, but you’ll have to listen to find out how to win.

Improving the Cockpit Computer using Companion Microcontroller
Sponsored by Infineon
Companion microcontrollers are a vital element of today’s complex automotive designs. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Matthew Goodavish from Infineon and Amelia Dalton investigate how the architectural evolution in automotive design has encouraged the need for companion microcontrollers, the role that safety islands play in the development of these systems, and the core system benefits that companion MCUs bring to these kinds of designs.
