Planes, Trains, and Processors

Embedded Processor Boards, Intel Inside, and Concurrent Technologies
by Amelia Dalton

A vapor trail streams across an empty sky. Steel wheels slowly grind to a halt in the early morning fog. We’re headed to the heart of critical embedded system design in this week’s Fish Fry. Nigel Forrester (Concurrent Technologies) and I chat about overcoming the challenges of high performance embedded computing, the importance of security in Intel-based processor cards, and what the “Under 17 Car Club” is all about. Also this week, we attempt to unravel  the mysteries of industrial power supply design.

Demo: Inuitive NU4000 SoC with ARC EV Processor Running SLAM and CNN

Sponsored by Synopsys

Autonomous vehicles, robotics, augmented and virtual reality all require simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to build a map of the surroundings. Combining SLAM with a neural network engine adds intelligence, allowing the system to identify objects and make decisions. In this demo, Synopsys ARC EV processor’s vision engine (VPU) accelerates KudanSLAM algorithms by up to 40% while running object detection on its CNN engine.

Effortless USB-C Battery Charging with MAX77860

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Maxim Integrated

Designing USB Type C into your design requires a bit more attention than previous generations. With all the benefits USB Type C brings - reversible plugs, more power, and higher bandwidth, it also demands more engineering inside our devices. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Sagar Khare of Maxim Integrated about the requirements of USB Type C, and how the MAX77860 can help you meet them.
