AI is being performed at the Edge of the IoT. Very soon, it’ll be commonplace in handheld and wearable electronic devices, and in all the appliances and infrastructure Edge devices, presumably working in the background to make our lives better, easier, and more secure. But systems at the Edge are of...

AI is a technology that requires lots of compute power. For that reason, it had been relegated to the Cloud. But the recent spate of high- performance processors has allowed AI to move to the Edge of the IoT, known as AIoT. It’s this technology that you’ll hear about at AI Day. Powered by Embedded C...

Massive economic potential and demand for AI at the Edge require more compute resources than imaged just a few years ago. Because these compute platforms live at the Edge, where the data is received and decisions are executed, they are ideal targets for executing AI algorithms.  The response from...

AI platforms at the Edge that are capable of running AI algorithms may look like your basic IoT Edge server, but that is not the case. There’s actually a fair amount of fine tuning that takes place, both in terms of hardware and software to enable this compute-intensive technology. It could be...

Have you ever been inspired by a new AI development research or new methods and tried to replicate it using open-source code, only to end up with a “bricked” development system? This is a common experience. The AI ecosystem is fragmented; many solutions require specialized hardware, such as GPUs, or...

Computer vision is one of AI’s killer apps. Detection and recognition systems are already used in applications ranging from smartphones and retail digital signage to advanced driver assistance systems and industrial robots. And with a variety of building blocks already available to the development c...

Today's avionics applications face many challenges. From size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constraints, to mixed criticality requirements, low-latency data throughput, and complex certifications, applications must balance an array of factors while keeping efficiency, performance, and safety in check. T...

The VMEbus standard will mark its 40th birthday this fall. The first standard out of the VITA Standards Organization, VMEBus is still going strong today selling nearly as many systems as its “replacement,” VPX. The standard was ratified more than a decade before the famous Department of Defense comm...

Power efficiency should be a simple metric to measure. It’s essentially the ratio of output power to input power. However, that’s the only thing that’s simple about. IoT really needs some explanation when you’re designing a product, with caveats for product category, power level, operating environme...

Applying open architecture and open standards to modern avionics systems has been the goal of the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) since its inception. The FACE 3.0 standard enables reuse reuse software elements via common application programming interfaces (API). With 80%-90% percent o...

Embedded computing for military applications is vulnerable to cyberthreats like every other system. Threats are prevalent throughout every part of the system from the ICs to the signal-board computer to the software. Trust needs to be assured with each hardware component and software element. This w...

Designers of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics systems take the best of commercial technology such as processors and FPGAs and enable them to work in extreme military environments. This transformation often means ruggedization to protect the state-of-the art integrated circuit and RF compo...

Military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) programs have put a premium on reducing size, weight, and power (SWaP) in their embedded signal processing systems. Everything is trending smaller. As a result military program managers are creating more stringent SWaP requirements for ev...

Microsoft’s future roadmap includes releasing new LTSC editions every two to three years, and the new LTSC 2021 product arrives right at the three-year mark. The Long-Term Service Channel (LTSC) IoT products are designed specifically for purpose-built appliances and devices that need 10 years of sup...

This webinar will discuss the latest version of the FACE Business Guide (v3.0), which serves as a reference for senior leadership from both Government and industry to understand the value proposition of the FACE Approach. The goals of the webinar are to: • Provide a short FACE Executive Overview...

The number of connected devices around us is growing, and Linux® is enabling much of the growth from the backbone to the edge. In this embedded tutorial, Senior Software Application Engineer Schuyler Patton will showcase Texas Instruments’ new AM64x processor starter kit. The $99 board includes dual...

Bluetooth devices are everywhere. The number of Bluetooth devices shipped this year is expected to exceed that of any other wireless technology. For those developing Bluetooth devices, understanding the technology, the advancements and how to test is critical to improving quality and customer experi...

In PC years, the IoT is quite long in the tooth. AI and machine learning, on the other hand, are just pups. When you combine these two complementary technologies, you get AIoT, or Artificial Intelligence of Things. You had better be ready for it, because this is one of those seminal technologies tha...

Cybersecurity is more critical than ever, as evidenced by the SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline attacks causing major disruptions, hazards, and shut-downs. As billions of IoT devices are deployed each year, adversaries are becoming more adept at taking advantage of vulnerabilities in critical operati...

As defense electronics systems become increasingly complex, with AI, Machine Learning and greater connectivity, the attack surface of these devices increases in parallel with the sophistication of adversaries. Traditional hardware security methods are easily circumvented, making it easier to clon...
