Engineering Startup Launches to Make Printed Circuit Boards Accessible for Next Generation Electrical Engineers.

November 20, 2020

Tustin, CA – Gerber Labs, an Orange County based engineering startup, is rolling out a platform that makes custom printed circuit boards (PCB’s) accessible to electrical engineering students, hobbyists and small businesses.

PCB’s traditionally have only been accessible for large businesses and manufacturers. To order PCB’s you had to order in large quantities and deal with old school salesmen and overseas representatives. Gerber Labs is changing this by opening up PCB’s to the consumer and small business market.

So instead of calling sales representatives or ordering … Read More → "Engineering Startup Launches to Make Printed Circuit Boards Accessible for Next Generation Electrical Engineers."

SEGGER has announced that its embOS real-time operating system now supports 64-bit processor cores

November 20, 2020

Today, most IoT implementations and other sophisticated embedded applications rely on 32-bit CPUs. In the very near future, however, they will start migrating to higher performance 64-bit CPUs. This is because the latest generation of SoCs and FPGAs with advanced peripherals (like SuperSpeed USB and Gigabit Ethernet) tend to also come with powerful 64-bit CPU cores incorporated. Such peripherals are usually not available to the 32-bit core devices currently deployed.

With embOS, users can now easily upgrade to 64-bit systems while continuing to run the same application software as deployed to their current 32-bit platforms. This will … Read More → "SEGGER has announced that its embOS real-time operating system now supports 64-bit processor cores"
