Today, Arm announced that the first silicon supporting the Morello prototype architecture, a research project led by Arm, Microsoft, University of Cambridge and others, is now available on a limited run of demonstration boards, which are being shipped from today to industry partners for testing. Morello is the first…
The RP2040 is a microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the UK. It's a dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ running at 200 MHz which provides up to 16 MB of off-chip flash and 264 KB on-chip RAM. It has 30 GPIO pins, 4 of which can be used as analogue inputs, two UARTs, two SPI controllers, two I2C controllers, and 16…
The cell is the first to have been fully designed, developed and assembled at a gigafactory by a homegrown European battery company.
HP servers provide a management module called iLO (a.k.a. Integrated Lights-Out), which turns on as soon as the power cable is connected, loading a full-blown proprietary operating system. This module has full access to all the firmware, hardware, software, and operating system installed on the server. In addition to…
As 2021 draws to a close, we thought we'd take a look back at what's happened over the last year in Embedded Rust, both within the working group and in the larger community.
Using RP2040 to create a USB audio microphone.
Unum builds the Search, Storage, and Networking engines powering the modern data stack. Deployed on 100M+ devices, our technology serves DBMS unicorns and frontier AI labs.

IBM and Samsung Electronics jointly announced a breakthrough in semiconductor design utilizing a new vertical transistor architecture that demonstrates a path to scaling beyond nanosheet, and has the potential to reduce energy usage by 85 percent.
We've barely scratched the surface of the Pi Zero 2's capabilities. [Brian Dorey] shows us how to hack your Pi's WiFi and improve its performance. A u.FL footprint can be discovered in line with the onboard WiFi antenna, implying that someone had to connect an external antenna.
How accurate is Ikea's Vindriktning air quality sensor? This review covers PM2.5 behavior, limitations, and how it compares with better monitors.
By trapping light into tiny crevices of gold, researchers have coaxed molecules to convert invisible infrared into visible light, creating new low-cost detectors for sensing.
14 November 2022: This blog has been updated to remove the link to the preview form. Last year at AWS re:Invent, Jeff Barr wrote about the exciting availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Mac instances. Today, we’re announcing the preview of a new EC2 M1 Mac instance. The introduction of EC2 Mac…
The SiFive Performance P650 processor is expected to be the fastest licensable RISC-V processor IP core in the market, bringing RISC-V into new markets and applications, and will debut to lead partners in Q1 2022.
Reutlingen, Germany – They are small, powerful, and extremely efficient: semiconductors made of silicon carbide (SiC). After several years of development, Bosch is now starting volume production of power semiconductors made of this innovative material, supplying automotive manufacturers worldwide. In the future, more…
Listen to WWV announcement recorded 0008UTC 11/4/2021 from WWV 10MHz broadcast, receiver IC-7300 13.7km from the station.
Researchers at Princeton University and the University of Washington have developed an ultracompact camera the size of a coarse grain of salt. The new system can produce crisp, full-color images on par with a conventional compound camera lens 500,000 times larger in volume.
We announced the first generation AWS-designed Graviton processor in late 2018, and followed it up with the second generation Graviton2 a year later. Today, AWS customers make use of twelve different Graviton2-powered instances including the new X2gd instances that are designed for memory-intensive workloads. All…
Engineering physics PhD student Khadijeh Miarabbas Kiani has fabricated a laser on silicon using a simple, cost-effective method - something that has been a longstanding challenge in the field of silicon photonics. [...]Read More...
