1-GHz 64-Bit MPUs with RTOS support enable high-definition HMI, quick startup
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the RZ/A3UL group of microprocessors (MPU) that enables both a high-definition human-machine interface (HMI) and quick startup for applications that require high throughput and real-time capabilities. The new RZ/A3UL allows customers to achieve the full potential of a real-time operating system (RTOS) while leveraging the performance boost provided by the 64-bit […]
Writing a bootloader for Arm Cortex-A35/A5X microprocessors
By Aaron Bauch, Senior Field Application Engineer, IAR Systems Design specifications require the ability to update a device’s firmware in the field dynamically. This is done commonly via a bootloader. Designing a bootloader, however, is challenging as it must meet various requirements. For example, the mechanism for getting the new application into the MPU is […]
Server-grade extended ATX motherboard carries 3rd-Gen Xeon MPUs for AI work
Axiomtek announces the IMB760, a server-grade extended ATX motherboard (330mm x 305mm) powered by the dual LGA4189 socket 3rd Gen Intel Xeon scalable processors (code name: Ice Lake-SP) with the Intel C627A chipset. It comes with an effective load balancing between two CPUs and multiple accelerator cards to stabilize computation loads and maximize computing power. […]
