Tools, Airplanes, and Smart Watches

Embedded Design Makes The World Go Round

In this week’s Fish Fry – we’re talking tools, we’re talking airplanes, and we’re talking watches. First, I’m chatting with Jim McElroy (Vice President of Marketing – LDRA) about where LDRA fits in the embedded tool landscape, what their compliance management system is all about, and how this compliance management system may help you get your next Mil/Aero design off the ground. Also this week, I’m checking out how Aldec’s new Spec-TRACER tool suite can help you navigate the twists and turns of your next DO-254 design and why you should check out a new Kickstarter campaign that is attempting to launch a brand new smart watch called The Agent.

I’ve got a chipKIT Uno32 Arduino-Compatible Prototyping Platform to give away to one lucky listener courtesy of newark element14 this week! Head on over to element14.com/fishfry to enter to win.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

CBOT MULTIGIG Transceiver Platform
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Anders Thelin from TE Connectivity and Amelia Dalton explore how the CBOT MULTIGIG transceiver platform helps address these challenges with a modular, high-performance approach to rugged, high-density connectivity. We also investigate how this platform supports next-generation system architectures, improves design efficiency, and enables robust performance in even the most demanding environments.
