At the core of this transformation lie FPGA-based SoCs — platforms that seamlessly blend programmable logic with high-performance Arm cores.
Modern SoC designs demand aggressive low-power techniques to meet performance and energy efficiency goals. However, managing power at the architectural level is not straightforward.
Zephyr RTOS is an open-source, highly modular, real-time operating system designed for resource-constrained embedded devices, such as sensors, wearables, and IoT gateways.
As embedded systems grow more connected and feature-rich, managing dependencies has become a pain for developers.
Navigating through unfamiliar or dynamic environments is challenging for visually impaired individuals due to the inherent limitations of traditional assistive tools like white canes and guide dogs.
In modern SoCs, security is often built using dedicated IP (Intellectual Property) blocks. These are reusable components or processor cores that come with built-in features to help protect the chip from attacks.
To protect SoCs from surface-level attacks, several robust security mechanisms are employed.
System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies have revolutionised modern electronics by integrating diverse functions, such as CPUs, GPUs, AI engines, and communication modules, into a single chip.
Explore how AI-driven PPE detection enhances workplace safety with real-time safety gear monitoring. Discover the benefits of AI applications for compliance and alert features in factory and construction environments.
We are proud to announce our ongoing collaboration with MediaTek, the world’s leading fabless semiconductor company powering nearly 2 billion connected devices.
Formal verification is a highly effective method for ensuring the correctness of designs. Logical Equivalence Checking (LEC) is one such formal verification technique that verifies the equivalence of the logic in an updated RTL/design.
We are thrilled to announce the opening of our new office in Munich, Germany. This milestone marks a significant expansion of our global footprint and reinforces our commitment to serving our European customers more closely.
