Using Arduino’s recently introduced Giga R1 WiFi CPU board and need a human interface? The Giga Display Shield (plug-in board) might fit the bill. It adds a 3.97inch 480 x 800 RGB touchscreen, digital microphone (MP34DT06JTR by ST), six-axis IMU (Bosch BMI270 inertial measurement unit), an RGB LED and a camera connector. Touch on the display is five-point + gesture, ...

Raspberry Pi 5 has been revealed. Twice the speed of Raspberry Pi 4 is promised (to 2.4GHz), from the new 16nm quad Cortex-A76 processor, and dual 4Kp60 display capability. One very important upgrade is that this Raspberry Pi has the hardware security features now so important to network-attached embedded computers. Two other notable addition to Raspberry Pi in its fifth ...

Estone Technology has introduced a range of Arm processor 10.1in touch-panel PCs for industrial AI applications with neural network processing, camera interfaces and power-over-Ethernet. Called PPC-4910, computing comes from NXP’s i.MX8M Plus 1.8GHz quad Cortex-A53 core processor, which has an integrated AI/ML neural processing unit (NPU) operating at up to 2.3Top/s “that focuses on edge AI, vision processing and other ...

STMicrcoelectronics has put a host of motion and environmental sensors, along with Bluetooth, NFC and wireless charging, into a single-enclosure development box built around its STM32U5 MCU with Arm’s TrustZone security. Called STeval-MkBoxPro (as well as SensorTile.box Pro), it is an update on its earlier STM32L4-powered STeval-MkSBox1V1 non-‘Pro’ SensorTile.box. Measuring 40x63mm, and with a 480mAh rechargeable battery, SensorTile.box Pro is ...

Variscite has added neural processing to a 33 x 68mm edge-connected Arm computer-on-module with built-in security and Wi-Fi 6. Centred on NXP’s iMX93 processor and called VAR-SOM-MX93, the module has a 1GHz NPU (neural processing unit) for AI and machine learning algorithms with 256 MACs (2ops/MAC) which can handle 8bit and 16bit integer RNNs, and 8bit weights. Alongside this are ...

Arduino has announced that it has completed a $22 million investment round, taking its Series B funding to $54 million. The funding round was co-led by CDP Venture Capital and Anzu Partners. Also on board was Arm, which was apparently following up on earlier investments. The investment will be used to expand its R&D team in Turin with the specific ...

Moxa has introduced families of Ethernet switches for industrial environments. Spread across EDS-2000 and EDS-4000, they are being stocked in the UK by Impulse Embedded. “The core difference between ranges is their manageability: EDS-4000 switches are managed, which provides a higher level of control, security and optimisation,” according to Impulse, “EDS-2000 switches are unmanaged, which means that these function out-of-the-box, ...

Aaeon has put an Intel Atom x7000E processor into a 115 x 165mm industrial single-board computer capable of running three displays. EPIC-ADN9-A10-0002 has an Atom x7425E paired with a single DDR4 SODIMM slot for up to 16Gbyte of dram and 6Gbit/s SATA for bulk storage – on-board expansion slots include: full-sized mSATA, full-size mPCIe and one M.2 2242 B-key. For displays, ...

Concurrent Technologies has announced a plug-in dual enclave switch card for equipment racks. Called Iris, it “acts as the system keystone to provide secure, high bandwidth switch connections between each PIC, critical in ensuring they work together”, according to the company. “Typical applications include force protection, situational awareness, command, control and mission computing.” It supports physically-separate data plane and control ...

Adlink has announced a size C COM-HPC client module for Intel’s 13th Gen Core desktop processors. Called COM-HPC-cRLS, MPU options extend to the i9 with 16 performance-cores plus eight efficient-cores and 36Mbyte cache – with 65W design power. “The module demonstrates brilliant performance per watt along with AVX-512 VNNI and Intel UHD AI inferencing support for realising diverse edge AI ...
