Collabora announcd a partnership with MediaTek that is empowering Collabora to establish, develop, and maintain MediaTek's IoT Edge AI Genio platforms upstream. The objective is complete support for the official Evaluation Kit (EVK) in Debian and other Linux distributions.

Emproof and DDC-I introduced a partnership to deliver advanced security solutions for Deos-based systems outlined in the whitepaper, Advanced Embedded Security with DDC-I Deos and Emproof Nyx. The collaboration combines the capabilities of DDC-I’s Deos real-time operating system (RTOS) with Emproof’s security solution, Emproof Nyx addresses threats such as reverse engineering and exploitation attacks while supporting customized protection.

Axiomtek announced its P117-ADL-TRA 17” industrial touch panel PC supporting applications such as multimedia kiosks, heavy-duty industrial computing, and factory automation. The PC delivers enhanced performance and flexibility by leveraging scalable 13th/12th Gen Intel Core i7/i5/i3 or Pentium processors with the Intel H610 chipset. Consistent image display is managed by the XGA TFT LCD display with a 5-wire resistive touchscreen and 250 nits of brightness.

Image Credit: AMD As the need for faster, more efficient data processing increases, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a fundamental technology bridging the gap between traditional hardware accelerators and cutting-edge applications like Artificial Intelligence (AI). They are becoming a critical building block for innovations from edge computing to cloud infrastructure.

Wincomm shared that its WMP-27T-PIS series has earned the Taiwan Excellence Award 2025, granted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The award identifies products with innovative performance in research and development, design, quality, and market impact, while emphasizing the assurance it is "made in Taiwan."

San Jose, California. Point2 Technology introduced the Point2 P1B12,1 its innovative Smart Retimer system-on-chip (SoC) for AEC applications in hyperscale AI/ML datacenters. It incorporates eight-unidirectional SerDes channels with smart Clock Data Recovery (CDR)/Retimer operations that support 112G PAM4 and 56G NRZ data rates. The Point2 P1B121 is designed for low-power and low-latency operations in 800 gigabit (800G) and 1.6 Terabit (1.6T) Active Electrical Cables (AECs). At 3 nanoseconds (3ns), the P1B121 chip latency is 20X lower than standard DSP-based PAM4 Retimers.

AAEON's UP brand released the UP 710S, the next generation credit card sized single-board with adjusted height measuring at just 25.13mm. The solution’s size, when compared to previous models, does not reduce I/O options. The UP 710S upholds key features like GPIO, I2C, SPI, and COM that were possible via a 40-pin HAT through dedicated wafers.

Munich, Germany. NOVOSENSE Microelectronics and Continental Automotive Technologies are partnering on the design of automotive-grade sensors to develop safer vehicle systems including safety functions and system reliability, from airbag triggers to battery pack monitors. A signed memorandum will extend cooperation to the development of sensor ICs as well as for the global integration of NOVOSENSE’s products within Continental’s worldwide platforms.

Avalue’s new waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof touchscreen panel PC SPC-10W35 leverages the Intel Celeron J6412 processor (codenamed Elkhart Lake). It has earned IP65/54 making it ideal for automated industries, manufacturing industry, food processing, and pharmaceutical laboratories.

Austin, Texas. Ambiq is joining the Edge Impulse network to deliver scalable AI models on the Apollo4 Plus System-on-Chip (SoC) ideal for edge AI such as speech, health, and other AI models. The Apollo4 Plus utilizes Subthreshold Power Optimization Technology (SPOT) to achieve 10X more proficiency for AI processing vs. other Arm M4-based solutions.
