Only the Most Epic Embedded Online Conference Ever!

The value of online (virtual) conferences is increasing in leaps and bounds as travel becomes more problematic and time is increasingly at a premium. Some of these events “stand proud in the crowd,” as it were. Allow me to expound, elucidate, and explicate. 

When it comes to embedded space (where no one can hear you scream), the virtual extravaganza on … Read More → "Only the Most Epic Embedded Online Conference Ever!"

Microchip’s new $30 debugger fulfills Jack Ganssle’s prophecy from 30 years ago

Microchip didn’t become a leading microcontroller vendor by accident. The company built its PIC microcontroller business from nothing to significant market share over two decades by cultivating developers, starting with college undergraduates. The company did this by offering a broad product line, inexpensive tools, and plenty of support. Microchip’s latest offering, a programming and debugging tool that sells for less than $30, continues that winning strategy.</ … Read More → "Microchip’s new $30 debugger fulfills Jack Ganssle’s prophecy from 30 years ago"

Concurrent Technologies Ushers In the Next Generation of Mission-Critical Applications

Nigel, Victoria and I chat about the importance of rigorous testing in mission-critical systems, the details of Concurrent’s mission-critical embedded computing solutions, and how Concurrent can help engineers determine what Intel processor board is … Read More → "Concurrent Technologies Ushers In the Next Generation of Mission-Critical Applications"

Is Integral Mind’s Digital Enlightenment Platform a True Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. A lot of people (my dear old mother, for one) think I’m clever. One thing I do know is how wrong they are. I have known a lot of clever people in my time, so I have something to compare myself against, and I’m afraid I don’t come out well.

Secure-by-Design, Secure-by-Default: How SpiderOak is Protecting Data at the Edge

This week we are talking all about edge cyber security with David Pearah, CEO of SpiderOak. David and I explore why traditional cyber security solutions do not properly protect edge devices, how SpiderOak is empowering developers to protect their edge applications, and why they are also offering their technology platform as open source software.

TASKBOTs Set to Seamlessly Integrate into Human Workplace Environments

I fear that my poor old cranium has been crammed to capacity with contemporary concepts. For example, I have always understood the abbreviations HIL or HITL to mean “hardware-in-the-loop” in the context of simulation and emulation. Now, however, I have discovered they can also refer to “human-in-the-loop,” which is an experience I’ve not hitherto enjoyed myself. 

When I … Read More → "TASKBOTs Set to Seamlessly Integrate into Human Workplace Environments"
