NXP Semiconductors has announced BlueBox 3.0, a new and expanded version of NXP’s safe Automotive High-Performance Compute (AHPC) development platform. Designed for software application development and validation ahead of silicon device availability, BlueBox 3.0 now offers a flexible way to address user-defined vehicles, safety Level 2+ (L2+) automated driving, and the evolving vehicle architectures that will revolutionise connected vehicle...

CEVA and Retune DSP have announced that the Retune VoiceSpot Wake Word Engine is now optimised and available for CEVA’s audio/voice DSPs, including the CEVA-BX, CEVA-X, and CEVA-TeakLite families. CEVA and Retune DSP are already engaged with a lead customer, deploying this collaborative solution in an upcoming smart home device.

OmniVision Technologies has announced the OAX8000 AI-enabled, automotive application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which is optimised for entry-level, stand-alone driver monitoring systems (DMS). The OAX8000 uses a stacked-die architecture to provide the industry’s only DMS processor with on-chip DDR3 SDRAM memory (1GB).

SEGGER’s entire portfolio of J-Link software is now available for Linux on ARM, for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. This includes both the command-line programs and GUI tools such as J-Flash, J-Flash SPI, J-Scope, the J-Link Configurator and the GUI version of the GDB Server.

In critical systems, genuine components are the safest and most reliable. Designers can now enhance safety, security and data integrity for connected vehicle systems while also reducing both complexity and code development time by authenticating genuine components with the DS28E40 DeepCover automotive secure authenticator from Maxim Integrated.

u-blox has announced that Xpeng Motors has selected u-blox F9 high precision GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) technology for use in its P7 super-long range sports EV sedan. u-blox F9 has been incorporated into the vehicle’s XPILOT 3.0 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) used for navigation-guided driving, automated parking, and autonomous driving.

Every retail or consumer goods company would like to increase forecast accuracy to improve margins and reduce safety stock levels while simultaneously connecting with consumers in a more meaningful way. SAS has a legacy of helping retail and CPG customers do just that by developing deeper insights that inform users to make more confident decisions. Now SAS is taking those capabilities to the cloud by offering access to its powerful retail analyti...

Lanner has announced the release of the NCA-4025, a rackmount network appliance powered by Intel Xeon D-2100 multi-core processor (Codenamed Skylake-D). The NCA-4025 is designed not only to help communication service providers (CommSPs) reduce complexity required by hardware and software integration, but also to accelerate time-to-market deployment of SD-WAN, SD-Security and other SDN/NFV applications.

Designers of space-constrained designs can now increase runtime with the MAX20361 single-/multi-cell solar harvester with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) from Maxim Integrated Products. The small solar harvesting solution is well suited for space-constrained applications such as wearables and emerging internet of things (IoT) applications.

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the STMicroelectronics (ST) STM32WL Nucleo-64 boards, based on the new STM32WL Series microcontroller.
