Consolidation and innovation in embedded design is the name of the game for this week's Fish Fry. We’re chat with Ken Grob (Elma Electronics) about VPX, getting your box design onto a board, and the many advantages of implementing a system on chip or system on module in your next Embedded design. In a special “This isn’t an April Fools Joke” edition of News You May Have Missed, we investigate how the foam created by a tiny frog from Trinidad may revolutionize antibiotic delivery. Also this week, we check out the many challenges and alternatives for thermal management.

“The most profound technologies are the ones that disappear.” - Mark Weiser
If you listen closely you won’t be able to hear it. If you squint your eyes you won’t be able to see it. But it’s there. Most of us have encountered Digimarc’s technology and most likely, we were never the wiser. In this week’s Fish Fry, Tony Rodriguez (CTO - Digimarc) and I discuss the details of Digimarc’s Intuitive Computing Platform: A platform that leverages all of the sensors in your mobile device to tell you more about the world around you. Tony and I also chat about Digimarc’s Discover Mobile Software Development Kit and how the Portland Trail Blazers are utilizing Digimarc’s unique digital signal processing technology.

Attention all makers, engineers, and designers big and small. This week’s Fish Fry is dedicated to everyone’s favorite maker single board computer extraordinaire….the Raspberry Pi 3! In a special interview double feature, my first guest is Richard Curtin from Element14 who is here to deliver the goods on the new Raspberry Pi 3. Richard and I discuss the new features of the Raspberry Pi 3, what super cool stuff you can design with it, and how you can get your perfect Pi with element14’s Raspberry Pi customization service. Keeping with our theme, my next guest is myDevices CEO Kevin Bromber. Did you know that myDevices just announced a Raspberry Pi IoT contest? Kevin will tell you how you can enter, what you can win, and the unique way that entrants of this contest will be judged.

Watch out HBM, Fish Fry is coming to get ya! In this week’s Fish Fry, we’re taking on High Bandwidth Memory with Mike Gianfangna from eSilicon. Mike and I chat about what kind of designs HBM is best suited for, how it compares with the hybrid memory cube, and why terabyte performance may be closer at hand than ever before. Also this week, we take a look at the new Synopsys Synplify FPGA design tools.

It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it. As we all know, getting an engineering project to market from algorithm to design to production is not an easy task. Even though it seems like a strenuous process today, we have come a long way especially in the realm of logistics, distribution, and fulfillment. In this week’s Fish Fry, Mike Buseman (Avnet) and I discuss the changing world of logistics and distribution, how we can move fixed costs into variable costs, and how converged and hyper-converged solutions can alleviate some of those big pressures we all face when trying to get a product to market quickly. Also this week, we check out brushed motor theory and take a closer look at some brushed motor applications that don’t involve pillaging your parents' old household appliances.

Can you imagine a world without mistakes? Maybe it would be cool, but most likely it would be pretty boring. Heck, it might even mean some of us would lose our jobs. This week’s Fish Fry, we visit a conference dedicated to engineering mistakes: DVCon. We investigate three major the themes of this year’s Design Verification Conference: UVM, emulation, and FPGA-based prototyping. Shishpal Rawat (Chairman - Accellera Systems Initiative) and I sit down to discuss the importance of standardization in emulation and UVM, the value of design verification tutorials, and why verification needs to happen at many different levels of abstraction. Also this week, we check out theadvantages of an integrated prototyping solution which may just put ad-hoc FPGA-based physical prototyping out of business once and for all.

Are you ready? We're about to flip the script on digital handwriting as you know it. Handwriting recognition has come a long way from the days of the Apple Newton but until now, it hadn't bridged the gap between the natural input you want and the digital input we use in our everyday lives. In this week's Fish Fry, we take a closer look at a new technology from MyScript called Interactive Ink. Gary Baum (VP - MyScript) joins us to discuss the what, where, and how of this revolutionary new digital handwriting technology and why it's going to change the future of human machine interfaces. Also this week, we check out the many challenges of choosing the right connectors for embedded vision designs.

This week we’re taking the A Train to a land of wicked fast communications with a little help from advanced mezzanine card technology and advanced telecommunications computing architecture. On the AMC side of the tracks, we chat with Paul Kuepfer about VadaTech’s new Xilinx Virtex-based AMC595 and their new DAQ Software aimed at data acquisition systems. Rob Persons (Artesyn) is here to bring us the goods on ATCA: where it’s headed in the future, why it’s so important in today’s communication designs, and how it’s helping out the United States Navy. Also this week, we check out IBM’s new gig for Watson: choosing players for the Toronto Raptors.

In a special Maker edition of Fish Fry, we're serving up a little internet of things with a side of Raspberry Pi. My guest Kevin Bromber (CEO - myDevices) and I check out Cayenne - the world's first drag-and-drop IoT project builder. We’ll look at what sets it apart from the rest of the IoT pack and how you can get your next Raspberry Pi-fueled IoT design up and running in mere minutes. Also this week, we take a closer look at a Kickstarter campaign that aims to take your drone dreams to a whole new level.

In this week’s Fish Fry, we’re taking on safety, security, and the embedded design software in between. Michael May (Express Logic) and I start things off with an in-depth discussion about the ongoing design-in battle between 32 and 64 bit processors and where ThreadX RTOS fits into the embedded ecosystem. Keeping with this week’s embedded software theme, I also chat with Jim McElroy (LDRA) about what we need to do when our designs must adhere to a security-critical standard, why TÜV Certification is so important, and what it's like to captain a whale watching boat.
