The company will continue to offer … Read More → "Altera announces that Agilex 3 FPGAs are in production and are ready for ordering, immediately"

A Deeper Dive into Efinix with VP of Marketing Mark Oliver

The FPGA community is tiny. You can count the number of FPGA vendors on one hand, if you neglect to count the three or four vendors in China who are dedicated to their domestic market. Anyone familiar with the FPGA market can likely name AMD (the FPGA company formerly known as Xilinx), Altera (the FPGA company formerly known as Intel PSG, which itself was previously known as … Read More → "A Deeper Dive into Efinix with VP of Marketing Mark Oliver"

30 minutes with Altera CEO Sandra Rivera discussing the Past, Present, and Future of a major FPGA vendor

FPGA maker Altera declared independence from Intel on February 29, 2024 – Leap Day – and reclaimed its original, storied name in the process. The intended and explicit symbolism was that Altera was making a great leap forward by becoming independent. Intel purchased Altera at the end of 2015 for $16.7 billion and renamed the organization. It became the Intel Programmable Solutions Group (PSG). The acquisition did not turn out to be a … Read More → "30 minutes with Altera CEO Sandra Rivera discussing the Past, Present, and Future of a major FPGA vendor"

The Next Steps Forward: How AI is Shaping Electronic Design

My podcast guest this week is Alex Iuorio from Avnet. Alex and I discuss Avnet’s recent Insights Survey including the motivation to create this survey, the skills needed to incorporate AI capabilities into our designs, and the AI related engineering concerns garnered from this survey. Also this week, I explore how mushrooms and coffee grounds can be used as 3D printing material and could be used as a … Read More → "The Next Steps Forward: How AI is Shaping Electronic Design"

Multiplying the Power of Artificial Intelligence with Artificial Bodies

So many things are currently going on in the artificial intelligence and artificial body spaces that my head is spinning like a top. For example, AIs are being used to design chips and systems for other AIs to run on, and an AI running on one of those systems can generate synthetic data that can be used to train another AI, and… then things start to get … Read More → "Multiplying the Power of Artificial Intelligence with Artificial Bodies"

Open Standards and the Rise of Embedded Ecosystem SoMs

My podcast guest this week is longtime friend of the show Matt Burns from Samtec! Matt and I chat about the trends driving the adoption of high performance, small form factor open standard SoMs. We also discuss the details of the PCI Express 7 specification and the newest endeavors being developed by the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies.
