We’ll look into the latest developments on Renesas 365 development platform, safety features in NOR flash memory, edge intelligence in SDV architecture, and more. The new CPUs, AI accelerators, and HBC technology target higher inference throughput, improved energy efficiency, and lower AI infrastructure costs.

Microchip Offers Free MPLAB Compiler and AI Tools Microchip Technology Inc. has made its MPLAB XC Pro compilers and MPLAB Machine Learning (ML) development suite available free of charge, removing licensing barriers for developers working on embedded systems and edge AI applications.

eSOL Brings Game Engine Visualization to Industrial Embedded Development eSOL Co. Ltd. has launched eXRP, a real-time 3D engine that helps visualize systems such as 3D simulations, digital twins, and human machine interfaces (HMIs) across automotive, robotics, manufacturing, and other industrial sectors. The launch comes as embedded and industrial systems are becoming more software-defined and harder to validate through traditional methods alone.

Edge Intelligence Redefines What SDVs Can Do Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are increasing the need to process intelligence closer to the systems that are generating data. Modern vehicles produce large amounts of data from sensors, control units, and diagnostic systems, making it inefficient and costly to send all the raw data to the cloud for processing.
