Synaptics Astra SRW1500 Cortex-M52 Edge AI MCU features Ethos-U55 NPU, Wi-Fi 6/7, Bluetooth 6.0, 802.15.4 connectivity

Synaptics has introduced the Astra SRW1500 Series of AI-native Edge AI MCUs designed for smart IoT edge devices. The family features an Arm Cortex-M52 core, an optional Arm Ethos-U55 Neural Processing Unit (NPU), and tri-band Wi-Fi 7 or Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0 LE, and 802.15.4 connectivity, in a single package. It targets low-latency on-device AI workloads such as voice-trigger detection, sound-event classification, and AI-enhanced Wi-Fi sensing. The series currently comes in four variants offering different wireless and USB options. Since sensing, AI processing, and wireless connectivity are integrated into a single chip, this approach helps reduce system costs, simplify PCB design, and lower power consumption in devices such as smart home hubs, building automation systems, and home appliances. Synaptics SRW1500 Series specifications: CPU Arm Cortex-M52 application core up to 200 MHz with Arm Helium (MVE) vector extensions for DSP and ML Arm Cortex-R4 WiFi core with 960 KB SRAM and 1408

Docker for Microcontrollers? AkiraOS combines Zephyr RTOS with WebAssembly (WASM) applications

AkiraOS is a Zephyr-based embedded OS that runs sandboxed WebAssembly applications on microcontrollers and lets users deploy and update firmware OTA without reflashing. In other words, it's similar to Docker containers, but for microcontrollers. The open-source embedded platform separates the OS from the application. That means the firmware stays stable, while apps are independent .wasm binaries deployable over-the-air without touching the OS, and portable so a single binary works on ESP32-S3, nRF5x, or STM32 MCU boards. AkiraOS highlights: User space Up to 8 wasm apps can be installed Up to two apps can run at the same time Footprint: 50KB to 200KB per app Akiraz runtime - Custom WASM runtime App Manager UI Framework with 32 widgets Shell/console 18 API modules WebAssembly Micro Runtime (WAMR) - Two options: Interpreter or Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation with 10 to 50x higher performance RTOS - Zephyr RTOS Scheduler Network stack HTTP for OTA updates

The Great Castle Adventure (2009: Windows) – Review

Before reading my review, I would like to outline the criteria I use for video game reviews. Like last time, I will refer to Super Mario Brothers X and Super Mario Brothers X2 as SMBX and SMBX2 to make my review concise. I will refer to this episode as TGCA. Once again, I will be reviewing another SMBX episode, this time, The Great Castle Adventure! The Great Castle Adventure is another one of the earliest SMBX episodes. However, this episode is the first one not developed by SMBX creator […]

Zephyr as base for open PLC platform - Colibri #4

In this episode, we introduce the Zephyr Project, a very popular Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and showcase that the Colibri hardware has (for the most part) been successfully adapted for Zephyr.
