On 27th July 2026, the European Commission issued for the first time official guidance on how the CRA should be “interpreted and implemented”.
While some of the advice simply confirms what should be evident from the regulation, there is valuable clarification of items previously considered open to […]
Official guidance and standards are beginning to appear in relation to the CRA. In some of the emerging information, ambiguities are clarified. In others, important changes in emphasis are detectable, meaning that interpretation of the CRA will shift a little.
As well as standards under development, many of […]
On December 18th, we held a webinar entitled “The EU Cyber Resilience Act – Training for Embedded Engineers”.
It was a well attended session, and the recording is available here (if you already registered, you should be able to re-use your attendee link).
If you’re new to the topic and have arrived via […]
In modern application programming, particularly for “IoT edge” devices, handling the ever-increasing data load is a significant challenge. Whether it’s sensor data from industrial equipment, telemetry from transportation systems, or usage metrics from consumer electronics, the volume and velocity of this information is growing at an exponential rate. This data […]
These are the questions I hear quite often. On one hand, it’s all there in black and white in the CRA, in 3 years’ time compliance will be mandatory. No compliance, no CE mark, and no shipping to the […]
Just as many customers settle into production with i.MX8, taking advantage of the better price/performance vs i.MX6, NXP’s first i.MX9 processor has come along, in dual-core form – hitting the “sweet spot” of a broad feature set but without too many expensive, power-hungry multimedia bells and whistles. Wherever […]
A lot of “AI at the edge” talk is about vision – and that’s quite natural because there are a lot of interesting applications in that space. To make classification decisions on video or high resolution images you need the processing power of a good GPU, or perhaps an applications processor with a dedicated AI […]
Windows 10 IoT Core is now available for i.MX6, and has been ported to TRITON-TX6 modules. So we’re ready to go.
What hasn’t quite happened yet is Microsoft’s official commercial release. The official word is: “The code is currently intended for non-commercial development only at this time. A commercial quality release is expected later in 2019.”.
Watch this […]
When Microsoft announced Windows 10 IoT as the Windows 10 embodiment of its line of embedded-customisable versions, there were three versions – Core, Mobile and Enterprise. Forgetting about Mobile, which is not available to embedded projecst, the Enterprise version was to be rolled out for x86 hardware, and Core was lacking […]
If you would like to see William White and I making fools of ourselves, take a look at our first ever video, featuring unboxing of the very photogenic A31-uQ7 quad-core module devkit.
Unfortunately the camera doesn’t love the presenters quite so much. But rather than try to polish the whole thing with […]
