Radar in every bumper
6
As the automotive industry
aggressively marches toward
huge advances in vehicle safety
and ultimately to autonomous
vehicles, major enablers will be
RF and microwave technology,
and millimeter-wave radars in
particular.
Firmware protection for MCUs
enables security in IoT applications
11
Microcontroller-based systems
in IoT applications require a
high level of data security and
functional safety. The solu-
tion presented here ensures
both a secure firmware update
as well as secure functional
upgrades for XMC4000 micro-
controllers. Also, it supports
the simple implementation of
functional safety.
USB 3.1 SuperSpeed flash drives
for industrial/embedded applications
15
This
article
introduces
the new U9 USB 3.1 NAND
Flash Controller combining
USB SuperSpeed with pow-
er-fail robustness and reliabil-
ity for industrial applications.
It takes full advantage of the
increased host interface per-
formance, without any trade-
off on the durability and
reliability of the solution.
When the debugger becomes the
basic tool for integration and testing
30
To ensure even better control of the very large volumes of data
with embedded software nowadays, a new generation of debug-
gers is needed, which will provide users with extensive testing
capabilities at the system level through to automated report gen-
eration, in addition to classic basic functions.
Computer-on-Modules:

Omnipresent
Internet
of
Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0
trends are creating increas-
ing demand among engi-
neers for cloud-based services.
New sixth-generation Intel
Core COM Express Comput-
er-on-Modules by ADLINK
come with exactly the right fea-
tures to fulfill these demands.
