Standards

USB 2.0 could become an integration standard for IoT SoCs, due to its ubiquity, available drivers, support for rapid prototyping, and area efficiency.

A look at how DDR DRAM is being adapted for use in automotive systems, and the demands its use puts upon interface IP for SoCs.

A look at implementing Bluetooth low energy interfaces into a design and the trade-offs involved in making different levels of integration

Users now demand a smooth GUI experience. Making sure they get one requires harvesting and understanding key metrics.

A look at the ways in which the I2C serial interface specification is being updated to form I3C, and its use in sensor subsystems

A technique built for software development is now helping hardware engineers master increasingly complex verification flows.

Accelerating software testing is vital to speeding up embedded system development, especially for Android and Linux systems running on ARM-based hardware. Virtual prototyping strategies, including the use of VDKs, can help.

How to accelerate many aspects of software testing by using virtual prototypes to stand in for target hardware from early in the development cycle.

A look at USB 3.1, which offers data rates of up to 10Gbit/s, and the way that the USB 3.1 protocol has changed to support this rate.

An analysis of what it takes to build true random number generators that can provide a strong cryptographic basis for systems security, especially for IoT devices.
