What do you think of when I say the word "flexibility?"Yoga? Bendy straws, maybe? Perhaps a Slinky™? I’m going to guess you probably didn’t say batteries and field programmable gate arrays! This week Fish Fry is all about flexibility in electronic design - from the most recent Mars Rover software upgrade, to the newest advancements in flexible battery technology. Then, we'll even chat a little bit about timing-driven partitioning of your next FPGA design. In another installment of my Fish Fry executive interview series, I chat with Flexras CEO Hayder Mrbet about what FPGA partionining is all about, why Flexras claims they can make your multiple-FPGA project a whole bunch easier, and how this France-based FPGA tool company came to be. Also this week, I have another super-cool XMEGA-A3BU Xplained microcontroller development kit (courtesy of Atmel) to give away, but you'll have to listen to find out how to win.

Tools are the name of the game this week.From Synopsys's acquisition of Taiwanese EDA company SpringSoft to the remarkable debugging capabilities of Vennsa Technologies. This week my guest is Andreas Venneris (CEO - Vennsa). Andreas and I chat about what their flow looks like, how Vennsa fits into Gary Smith’s vision of the future of EDA, and how debugging is going to be more important than ever on your next design. I also talk with Andreas about his former life as a rock journalist and who he thinks was the most fun rockstar to interview. Also this week, I have another XMEGA-A3BU Xplained kit (courtesy of Atmel) to give away, but you'll have to listen to find out how to win this super cool microcontroller development kit.

Have you ever been sitting back in your cube, resting and having a coke after lunch thinkin’...”Hey, I should really get into the emulation business.” Oh, you haven’t? I guess that’s just me then...Yep, there are some certain aspects of electronic design that we should just let someone else deal with. This week my guest is EVE CEO and President Luc Burgun. Luc and I chat about what emulation is all about, where EVE fits into the grand scheme of EDA, and how emulators can help you debug your next design. Oh, and I officially challenge Luc to a karaoke face off. Also this week, we’ve got a 13 ft Kinect controlled robot, the newest acquisition happening in EDA, and an XMEGA-A3BU Xplained kit (courtesy of Atmel) to give away.

Welcome to the Big Top of EE Fun, ladies and gentlemen! We’ve got Black Hat hackers, GPS spoofers, and in the center ring, a serious FPGA heavy hitter. This week I chat with Jeff Waters (Senior VP and General Manager at Altera) about how FPGAs can differentiate your design from the next guy’s ASSP, how FPGAs are making their way into the automotive market, and what make and model Jeff would pick as his dream car. I also have one more Altera DE0-Nano Development Kit (courtesy of Altera) to give away to one lucky listener. I'll tell you at the end of my broadcast how you can enter to win!

We’re talking standards this week -- from the LCD Cartel "standardizing" the prices of their TFTs (otherwise called "price-fixing") to the standards we all need to employ to make sure our IP works the way we intend. I interview Ian Mackintosh (President - OCP-IP) about why IP standards are important, how OCP-IP can help us all get on the same IP page, and how Ian is trying to help us all become managers in our spare time. I also have one more Altera DE0-Nano Development Kit (courtesy of Altera) to give away to one lucky listener. I'll tell you at the end of my broadcast how you can enter to win!

It's coming. You won’t be able to stop it. It's like the air or maybe a series of tubes. You decide. It's coming to a design near you (yep, maybe even the one on your lab bench right now) faster than ever before. This episode of Fish Fry is all about how you can Internet your next design... without the usual project logjam. I chat with Paul Hill (Atmel) about the evolution of the Internet of Things and how their new serial EEPROM product families with unique identifiers can ease the design process and lower the BOM cost on your next internet-enabled design. I’ve also got an Altera DE0-Nano Development Kit (courtesy of Altera) to give away to one lucky listener. I'll tell you at the end of my broadcast how you can enter to win!

Get out your pick axes, canaries, and a high powered ASIC or two - we're going mining! In this week's Fish Fry, we venture deep into the BitCoin caves with Bob Smith (VP - Uniquify). Bob and I chat about how the BitCoin mining race is heating up (literally) and how Uniquify is using their ASIC expertise to create super-powered machines mining today's hottest (and most controversial) virtual commodity. Also this week, I unveil a new unique Amelia-alternative to the current hardware-biased BitCoin race. I've got two words for you: BitCoin MMORPG. So strap on your headlamps ladies and gentlemen, we're going in.
