Spiking neural networks (SNN) are an implementation of neuromorphic computing, an aspect of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). Neuromorphic computing emulates the operation of physical neurons like those found in the human brain.

In this episode, Electronic Design’s Senior Content Director, Bill Wong, talks with Steven Brightfield, Chief Marketing Officer at Brainchip, about SNNs and their Akida platform.

In this episode, William Wong talks with with Andrew Banks, Technical Specialist at LDRA. LDRA’s MISRA C/C++ support is a central piece of its static analysis tools that exceed the requirements of MISRA C/C++. MISRA C:2012 offered new guidelines and the latest MISRA C standard is MISRA C:2023. MISRA C++ is a separate standard but with the same approach to improving developer’s coding process.

When it comes to wireless systems, we are in a disruptive evolutionary phase, with an interesting combination of multiple advanced solutions looking for application spaces to address. In this episode, Host Alix Paultre chats with Viavi's Ian Wong about upcoming technological advancements in the wireless and telecommunications space.

Conventional image sensors capture a frame at a time while event-based vision sensors track changes of individual pixels. In this episode, Dr. Luca Verre, Founder of Prophesee, talks about the company's event-based sensor and how it works.

An event-based imaging system can detect changes more accurately while reducing bandwidth and power requirements assuming all of the pixels do not change between frames. This is often the case for many applications especially industrial imaging applications.

NOR flash memory has been a mainstay for microcontrollers and microprocessors for code and data storage while NAND flash has been used for data storage. The latter has higher capacity on its side but NOR is the choice where reliability and performance are important.

Electronic Design Editor Bill Wong talks with Miin Wu, Chairman and CEO at Macronix International, about their 3D NOR technology.

Rust is a relatively new programming language that has garnered support from developers working on everything from Linux device drivers to cloud services. Rust pointer management is one thing that makes the language stand out.

As an open-source project, it cannot be used directly in many applications where things like IEC 62304 and ISO 26262 are needed. This requires a version that meets these requirements which is where Ferrous Systems’ Ferrocene comes into play.

In this episode, Ferrous Systems’ Florian Gilcher talks about Rust, Ferrocene, and how these it brings Rust into the world of rugged and embedded systems.

The advantages that electronics manufacturers and their customers can leverage from using additive manufacturing (compared to traditional processes) include faster, more cost-effective design and development of high-quality prototypes in just a few days with more design iterations to accelerate go-to-market times, improve process integration, and optimize manufacturing processes.

When many consider vehicle electrification, they tend to dive into the granularity of the solution sets and how do we get to where we're going. However, there are also application-specific needs that should be addressed in their migration to electric vehicles. Andy Turudic from Electronic Design and Paul Peluso from Officer Magazine chat about considerations, challenges and opportunities when it comes to patrol cars.
