With the announcement of the powerful RP2040 in early 2021, Raspberry Pi shifted its focus from (only) single-board computers (SBCs) to the world of custom microcontroller silicon. They followed this up in August 2024 with the new and improved RP2350, making RPi arguably the most exciting chipmaker...

Most of the AI offerings come with their own set of development tools. Some are open source, and some aren’t. More importantly, some are easy to use, and others aren’t. In this session, we’ll walk through the basics of these toolsets, showing how involved (and complex) this process needs to be based...

OEMs’ product portfolios often require offering a range of SKU variants with features and performance that would be difficult to service with a single FPGA device family. This creates unique challenges in scaling designs between different FPGA families. For FPGA designs, scaling typically occu...

Beyond the microcontroller, development boards typically require a number of components to function properly. In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will discuss implementing USB connections, oscillators, and external memory in your dev board design.

When you bring video into an AI-based application, you’ve upped the ante in terms of amount of data that’s being collected many times over. Does all the data need to be processed? How do you know what’s good data and what’s not? And do you need to write your own algorithms, or can you depend on the...

Industrial applications typically don’t require all the bells and whistles of full-blown AI. Machine learning is usually what’s warranted. In this session, you’ll learn how to implement machine learning, pulling in just the data that’s needed for your industry equipment.

Adopting open standards in avionics systems promises to lower implementation costs, accelerate development, ensure robust architecture and consistently high-quality software implementation, and maximize reuse. The FACE™ standard embraces these ideals by providing a modular reference architecture bas...

Precise time synchronization is a key requirement in Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). TSN provides deterministic, reliable, and low-latency communication by enabling time-aware scheduling over Ethernet networks. All devices on the network that transmit time-sensitive data must be synchronized in tim...

In military applications, the edge most often refers to where one engages the adversary or sensors collect the data, regardless of domain – air, land, sea, space, and spectrum. From the battle commander’s point of view, all deployed platforms and sensors are in fact edge devices. Enabling MOSA [modu...

The star of any development board is the microcontroller, but an array of other components are also needed for it to function. In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will discuss different physical microcontroller formats and how they are mounted, along with essential supporting comp...

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) within embedded safety-critical systems is revolutionizing sectors such as autonomous vehicles, medical devices, and aerospace. While these technologies unlock unprecedented levels of autonomy and operational efficiency, their im...

Modern automobiles present several engineering challenges, particularly as the software-defined vehicle (SDV) comes more into focus. These challenges include, but certainly are not limited to, software complexity, electrification, autonomous drive, connectivity, and over-the-air (OTA) updates, to th...

Are you considering a migration to AMD’s Versal™ Adaptive System on a Chip (ASoC) for your next generation processing requirements in radar, EW, or sensor fusion applications? The Versal ASoC family offers immense heterogenous compute capabilities supporting DSP engines, programmable logic, and nex...

Whether the edge is the where the sensor gathers the data or where the enemy is engaged in any domain, military systems at the edge require data integrity. It is imperative that every software or hardware component in these edge systems encrypt, process, and disseminate information securely. This we...

With the current growth of the defense and space systems market accelerating, the high-reliability microelectronics required for these systems are under ever-increasing pressure to consume less size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C), as well as to provide increased performance, indefinite product li...

To make a custom dev board or production PCB, modern EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools are essential. In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will discuss the functions of EDA and outline several software options. The session will then niche down to focus on the open-source KiC...

Military battlefields more and more are dominated by the use of uncrewed aerial systems (UASs), uncrewed aerial systems (UASs), uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs), uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), and uncrewed undersea vehicles (UUVs) to engage with adversarial threats that grow ever more complex. Thes...

In 2024, we spent a lot of time talking about AI, trying to understand its potential, and what pieces were required to make it a reality. In 2025, we are putting those various bits of information into play. Those “bits” start with determining where the AI processing should occur. Then the engineers...

Developing a custom microcontroller-based circuit board can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will show you how to create a functional device using little more than an ATtiny and a customized PCB.
