STMicroelectronics has launched ST‑MC‑SUITE, a single online hub that aggregates all resources for motor‑control development on STM32 and STM8 microcontrollers. Designers can now access step‑by‑step tutorials, comprehensive documentation, and the latest X‑CUBE‑MCSDK software package, while also orde

Editor’s Note: Securing the Internet of Things (IoT) is critical not only for the integrity of data streams and software within each IoT application, but also for the integrity of the enterprise resources tied into those applications. IoT security is a complex problem, requiring a systematic approac

While most 8‑bit flash memory chips are ubiquitous in IoT, IIoT, smart metering, home automation, consumer electronics, and medical monitoring, they’re typically limited by simple, power‑hungry programming cycles. Adesto Technologies’ FusionHD series tackles this head‑on with a suite of smart featur

Introduction In a world where data can be intercepted or altered, confidence in the authenticity of received files is paramount. For example, if User A sends a binary file to User B via email, how can B be certain that the file was not tampered with? Digital signatures (DS) provide a reliable solut

In 2011, Cisco released a white paper that would become the IoT bible: by 2020 the world would host 50 billion connected devices. It was bold, optimistic, and—by 2019—excessively so. Since then, forecasts have been continually trimmed. Today the 2020 outlook ranges from 20 billion to 30 billion devi

Voice control is often hailed as the pivotal breakthrough in Human‑Machine Interaction, eliminating the need for typing and pointing. Early efforts stalled until smart speakers demonstrated the true potential of spoken commands. Today, rapid advances in recognition accuracy, feature sets, and applic

Efficient Web Server Solutions for Resource-Constrained Microcontrollers In our previous post, A Fresh Look at Embedding a Web Server, we highlighted the advantages of WebSockets over traditional HTTP GET/POST for embedded devices. Some readers noted that this approach may not fit all small microcon

Editor’s Note: The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) unlocks deep insights into industrial operations, boosting efficiency across connected systems. Large‑scale IIoT deployments rely on layered architectures to gather data from diverse sensors, securely transmit it to the cloud, and perform analy

SAN JOSE, Calif — The LoRa Alliance announced that it now operates more than 100 global networks, serving millions of end nodes as the Internet of Things (IoT) approaches a critical mass. Global Network Growth With 100+ networks already active worldwide, the Alliance is working to broaden its certif

This article is part of an AspenCore Special Project on vision guided robots. Robot vision systems demand a wide range of capabilities, yet the open‑source ecosystem offers solutions for almost every requirement. From basic image processing and object recognition to advanced motion planning and coll

SAN JOSE, Calif.—Today the Bluetooth Special Interest Group released a revised specification that introduces direction‑finding, enabling location services with 10‑centimeter precision. A separate draft for ultra‑wideband (UWB) radio, nearly ready for final approval, promises even faster and finer ac

As the new year unfolds, I’m reflecting on the most influential tech trends poised to shape 2019. While innovations like blockchain and quantum computing capture headlines, I’ll focus on technologies directly relevant to our industry—those that will deliver tangible impact this year. 5G and Industr

Starting in mid‑February, Japan’s government will begin a systematic security audit of over 200 million IoT devices already in use across the country. This initiative, announced last week, aims to bring to light a fact that experts have long known but consumers largely overlook: a significant portio

Drones are redefining the boundaries of modern technology. A recent Goldman Sachs analysis projected the industry would reach a $100 billion valuation by 2020—an estimate that has only been exceeded as drones integrate ever more sophisticated AI, computer vision, and autonomous flight systems. Beyon

Silicon Labs has introduced the next generation of its Z‑Wave platform, the Z‑Wave 700 family, which builds on the highly efficient Gecko MCU. The new modules deliver longer wireless range while drawing 3× less current than previous releases, making them ideal for battery‑powered smart‑home devices

At year‑end we revisit the most‑read pieces that shaped 2018 in the embedded world. Security concerns and AI excitement were front‑and‑center, yet classic topics like RTOS internals and embedded design still dominated the conversation. Below are the ten articles that captured the most readership. If

SAN JOSE, Calif. – In the nascent commercial IoT market, a startup specializing in Bluetooth gateways is positioning itself to accelerate adoption of Bluetooth mesh networking beyond lighting applications. Rigado is also urging chip manufacturers to enhance their open‑source stack management. The co
