In this modern age, we’re faced daily with a lot of technologies that are riddled where timing is imperative — especially if you yourself are a developer making or utilizing that kind of tech. Think applications like motor control, audio generation, robotics, things like that. All those applications have a critical thing in common, with multiple sensors, UI systems, or output devices have to be managed such that they all work together precisely.
These types of timing-sensitive applications are exactly the sort that the Propeller P8X32A MCU from Parallax was made for. It features eight symmetric 32-bit processors to enable parallel processing, each of which is capable of executing up to 20 MIPS of processing power for a total of 160 MIPS when all eight are running simultaneously. The chip also features a central hub alongside a common system clock that enables shared access to common resources like RAM. Each processor, or cog, can perform tasks either individually or in cooperation with other cogs to allow for high-speed processing with low power consumption. Watch it now and enter to win!
Embedded Executive: ThreadX Is Now Open Source, Eclipse Foundation
A few years ago, Microsoft acquired Express Logic, who’s key product was the ThreadX operating system. Fast forward to today, and Microsoft has released that operating system to the open-source community.
Why did they do that? And what does that mean to the development community? I was really curious about these issues, so I spoke to Frédéric Desbiens , who manages the embedded, IoT, and Edge computing programs at the Eclipse Foundation on this week’s?Embedded Executives podcast.
Product of the Week: ADLINK’s MECS-7120 Industrial Edge Server
Industrial environments today are retrofitted with high-processing, low-latency, and real-time networking solutions that enable them to handle complex workloads and data analytics with reliability and efficiency. ?
The 1U 19” Industrial Edge Server, the MECS-7120, from ADLINK Technology is a rugged and scalable edge computing solution designed to support the deployment of 5G RAN and private network infrastructure. Powered by the single 4th generation Intel Xeon processor (formerly Sapphire Rapids-SP/EE), the edge server is well equipped to handle demanding applications in telecommunications, industrial automation, and other industries utilizing 5G technology.
