When Safety is King, NAND Reigns Supreme

Posted by techfocus on December 14, 2018 Comments

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we investigate the changing role of NAND flash in safety-based systems. Dave Hughes (CEO - HCC Embedded) joins us to discuss HCC’s “Safety Element out of Context" embedded software approach and how HCC helping engineers better use NAND flash in safety systems. Also this week, we give everyone another chance to win a “Hitchhiker’s Guide to PCB Design” T-shirt!

MEMS To The Rescue

Posted by techfocus on September 28, 2018 Comments

It’s that time of year again my friends, when the leaves began to fall gently to the ground and the accelerometers run free. Yes, its MEMS and Sensors Executive Congress time! Steve Whalley this week gives us a sneak peak into this year's Executive Congress. Steve and I discuss how sensor systems can enable autonomous mobility, why voice will be a new interface for autonomous mobility, and the details of for this year's Technology Showcase. Also this week, we check out a Kickstarter campaign called LogicInk - a programmable temporary tattoo that looks cool and can give you real-time information about your body and your environment.

The Perception Connection

Posted by techfocus on September 7, 2018 Comments

Hello LiDAR, my old friend. I’ve come to sense with you again. This week’s Fish Fry is all about the what, where, and how of LiDAR technology. Jin Pei (CEO - Cepton Technologies) joins us to discuss the details of Cepton's Micro-Motion platform and how perception is key to the advancement of autonomous vehicle technology. Also this we check out how a new Kickstarter campaign may change our perception of inductive charging…one cleverly hidden wire at a time.

Virtual Verification Smorgasbord

Posted by techfocus on August 6, 2018 Comments

Pull up a chair. Take a taste. Come join us. Life is so endlessly delicious. -- Ruth Reichl

Are you ready for a virtual buffet of verification goodness? I hope so. In this week’s Fish Fry, we’re gobbling down as much verification as we possibly can fit on our podcastin’ plate. First up, Anupam Bakshi (Agnisys) joins us to dish on register specification, automatic memory verification, and UVM model integration. Next, Dave Kelf (Breker) serves up some delectable details about their new Trek Five product, the history of portable stimulus, and how Breker has been integral to the portable stimulus group at Accellera. To finish things up, Vladislav Palfy joins us to discuss the biggest trends in the world of formal verification.

Long Live the (8 Bit) King

Posted by techfocus on July 13, 2018 Comments

There are whispers that their time has come to fade away into the sunset. Time to drift away on the electronic wind with laser discs, Zune players, and VHS. But can the role of 8 bit MCUs in the electronic engineering ecosystem be dismissed so easily? Maybe not. In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, Nikos Zervas (CEO of CAST) joins us to discuss the changing role of 8 bit MCUs in the EE ecosystem, how CAST works with their partners to bring innovative IP cores to the market, and how their new GZIP data compression IP can reduce power consumption for a variety of designs. Also this week, we check out a new open source, autonomous car platform from StreetDrone and reveal how you can bring the convenience and ease of Arduino into the professional realm.

New Episode of Chalk Talk: Bringing Arduino Into the Professional Environment

To the Cloud and Beyond

Posted by techfocus on June 29, 2018 Comments

Watch out world! Fish Fry is taking DAC by storm! In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we tackle of some of biggest themes presented at this year’s show: EDA’s progression to cloud-based design tools, the increased adoption of the RISC-V architecture, and the ever-present IoT. Craig Johnson and Carl Siva (Cadence Design Systems) join us to chat about why now is the right time for the cloud to take off for EDA and some of the advantages and pitfalls that will come along with this movement to cloud-based tools. [remove extra space here] Rick O’Connor (RISC-V Foundation Chairman) also joins us to discuss the growing RISC-V ecosystem and some of the cool stuff offered at the DAC RISC-V Pavillon. Addressing the big IoT presence at this year’s show, we also chat with John Stabenow and Jeff Miller (Mentor) about the unique challenges IoT presents us as engineers and why their booth had a big ol’ car tire as an example of Tanner EDA in action. To wrap things up, we lay out our DAC Details You May Have Missed including best swag, best booth, and best coffee!
