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!"
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.

As I may have mentioned on occasion, one of my favorite science fiction movies is the 1982 American-Hong Kong dystopian science fiction movie Blade Runner, which was directed by Ridley Scott and is often rated as one of the greatest sci-fi films ever (it was based on the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick).

At the recent Embedded World held in Nuremberg, Altera made an announcement and wants you to know two things: Agilex 3 FPGAs are now in production, and you can order them now. Altera also announced development support for Agilex 3 FPGAs (along with Agilex 5 E-series FPGAs and MAX10 programmable logic devices) through a no-cost Quartus license, and development boards from iWave and Terasic. The company will continue to offer … Read More → "Altera announces that Agilex 3 FPGAs are in production and are ready for ordering, immediately"
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"
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"
