QuickLogic’s Qomu, a Complete SoC That Fits in Your USB Port, Now in Stock from Crowd Supply

August 17, 2021 – Crowd Supply, the leading product development platform connecting hardware creators with early adopters and enthusiastic backers, announces the successful debut and stocking of Qomu, a development kit uniting a multicore MCU and an embedded FPGA (eFPGA) in a USB-compatible package. Now available for purchase, Qomu is designed using exclusively open source tools, with several example applications and gateware available for free use. The versatile and highly capable development kit allows users to slot the device into any USB Type-A port and take their development project with them wherever they go.

Qomu, developed by QuickLogic and launched with support from Crowd Supply, features an Arm Cortex-M4F MCU with 512KBytes of system memory, as well as an eFPGA with 64 Kbits of embedded RAM and 2,400 effective logic cells. The development kit uses a suite of open source tools, including FreeRTOS, Zephyr, nMigen for Python-to-FPGA design flow, Renode for full device simulation, and SymbiFlow for Verilog support. Qomu is housed in the injection-molded Qomu Case, which holds the board for excellent port fit and USB contact. The device also includes four capacitive touch pads, one RGB LED, as well as configurable SPI and I2C controller interfaces.

How MediaTek Optimizes SI Design with Cadence Optimality Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

In the era of 5G/6G communication, signal integrity (SI) design considerations are important in high-speed interface design. MediaTek’s design process usually relies on human intuition, but with Cadence’s Optimality Intelligent System Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver, they’ve increased design productivity by 75X. The Optimality Explorer’s AI technology not only improves productivity, but also provides helpful insights and answers.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
