A partnership between Clarinox Technologies and PX5 will simplify and strengthen wireless connectivity capabilities for embedded devices. The companies will integrate Clarinox’s software with PX5’s new real-time operating system (RTOS) to increase visibility, shrink debugging time and shorten project length, leaders of the two companies told EE Times. Clarinox Technologies, which makes short-range connectivity software, […]
The semiconductor industry is once again at an inflection point, enjoying a renaissance fueled by disruptive artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as autonomous driving and large language models (LLMs). LLMs like OpenAI’s ChatGPT have suddenly become prevalent in everyday conversations, as the sophistication of the “chatbot” has seemed to have crossed a threshold of conversational […]
The microcontroller has been around for over 50 years and constitutes a significant portion of the electronic-component industry today. Due to their versatility, adaptability, and simplicity in programming, MCUs are more important than ever in embedded systems. The presence of larger memory and CPU power has allowed the use of real-time operating systems (RTOS) where […]
MENLO PARK, Calif.—A pair of 21-year-old Harvard dropouts have raised $5.36 million in a seed round for their chip startup Etched.ai, which plans to make an AI accelerator chip dedicated to large language model (LLM) acceleration, the men told EE Times. The round was led by Primary Venture Partners with MAX Ventures and angels, including […]
Epishine and Atmosic Technologies recently collaborated to produce a self-powered beacon powered by indoor light that can yield big savings and reduce battery waste, leaders of the two companies told EE Times. Potential applications include consumer electronics, remotes, keyboards, electronic shelf labels in retail stores, CO2 sensors, beacons for indoor positioning and tracking, passive lighting, […]
Axelera, the European chip startup working on an edge AI accelerator, has demonstrated a working chip at the Embedded Vision Summit. The company also announced it raised an oversubscribed $50-million series A in an increasingly challenging fundraising climate for chip startups. New investors include a consortium of CDP Venture Capital, Verve Ventures and Fractionelera, which […]
The road is dark, the rain coming down in sheets. Suddenly, two people run onto the pavement, directly in your path. Before you can react, your car automatically slows to a safe stop without a collision. The runners press on, unaware of the danger just passed. To make this safety improvement real, we need cars […]
When smart homes began growing in popularity at the turn of the century, living smart meant using internet-connected devices with clever features. Two decades later, smart living has entered a new era of intelligent devices on the edge that are increasingly designed to make decisions. That’s according to the experts who spoke during a November […]
