Amazon says it has decided to stop selling Amazon Dash buttons globally, but will continue supporting new orders made through existing Dash buttons — Amazon has come up with some pretty odd ideas over the years: delivery inside your car, a talking tablet for your kitchen counter …
Who needs Dash buttons when your printer buys its own ink now.
Amazon has come up with some pretty odd ideas over the years: delivery inside your car, a talking tablet for your kitchen counter, and even an action series starring that guy from The Office.
One of the concepts that best captures the quirky imagination of the world’s largest online retailer is the Dash button, a handy (and kind of ridiculous) device you press to reorder stuff like dog food, bottled water or septic treatment powder.
But the usefulness and novelty of Dash buttons has waned over the years, and Amazon said Thursday that it had decided to stop selling the gadgets globally. If you still proudly use a Dash button (or a few dozen), don’t worry: Amazon plans to continue supporting new orders through existing Dash buttons so long as the public keeps using them.
The Ivy6551 is based on the Linaro 96boards IoT specification. 96boards are a set of open and freely available specifications for the creation of processor independent development platforms.
If you’re a developer looking to get microcontroller-class (MCU) devices (the chips at the heart of smart refrigerators, industrial motors, energy monitors, and other internet of things devices) up and running on Google Cloud Platform’s (GCP) fully managed Cloud IoT Core service, good news: Google has made it much more straightforward with the new Cloud IoT Device SDK.
The company describes this SDK — the unveiling of which was timed to coincide with the Embedded World conference in Nuremberg, Germany this week — as an open source collection of Embedded C libraries that enables developers to “connect, provision, and manage” devices with Cloud IoT Core service.
Embedded processors—in particular, microcontrollers—are the fundamental building blocks of the internet of things (IoT), powering edge devices such as smart refrigerators, industrial motors, and energy monitors. With the Google Cloud IoT platform, you can now manage all of your devices, establish data streams with analytics tools such as BigQuery or Bigtable, monitor performance, and visualize data. But, how do you get microcontroller-class devices to connect directly to Google Cloud IoT? In collaboration with our silicon partners, today we are introducing our new Cloud IoT Device SDK (software development kit).
The Cloud IoT Device SDK consists of client libraries written in Embedded C that enable developers to securely connect, provision, and manage devices with Cloud IoT Core. The kit targets energy- and size-constrained applications, such as battery-powered cellular devices that act as asset trackers, or Wi-Fi smart home devices with limited flash ROM (read-only memory).
Microchip Technology, Inc. launched two Ethernet bridge solutions for designers looking to reduce power consumption in their designs via Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) 3.1 low-power sub-state (LPSS) L1.1 (snooze) and L1.2 (off). The LPSS L1.1 (snooze) and L1.2 (off) enables designers to reduce power consumption and improve battery life when the device is not in use.
Aimed at automotive and hand-held or single-board computers in industrial applications, the new LAN7430 and LAN7431 Ethernet bridge chips allow the host device to deliver audio, data or video data through the 10/100/1000 Ethernet network. Connection via the PCIe 3.1 specification, provides up to 2.5 simultaneous Gigatransfers per second (GT/s) in each direction. The devices provide for single 3.3-V supply operation and integrate a JTAG (1149.1) Test Access Port (TAP) for enhanced test coverage.
STMicroelectronics on esitellyt uuden mikro-ohjainperheen, joka miellyttänee monia sulautettujen järjestelmien suunnittelijoita. STM32MP1 on lisää kaksi mikroprosessoria ohjainpiirille ja lisää samalla tuen Linuxille perinteisen reaaliaikaohjattavan ohjaimen rinnalle.
With a growing number of devices connecting to the internet, security must be established between hardware, cloud applications and servers, and finally users and services. PSoC® 64 Secure MCUs integrate the award-winning, ultra-low power PSoC 6 architecture with well-structured open-source IoT platform software to deliver a secure solution that “just works”. Download the PSoC 64 Secure Microcontroller Brochure for additional information.
For customers trying to establish themselves in the industrial Internet of Things, Wind River’s tools are designed to make embedded development a little easier.
Its latest product, the Helix Virtualization Platform, which was announced at Embedded World last week, can be used to combine multiple operating systems so that they can run at the same time without interfering with each other. Wind River put together its proprietary real time operating system, VxWorks, which can be used for higher reliability and shorter latency applications, with embedded Linux. But any other guest operating system can be supported, including Windows.
“The industry is moving in a direction of heterogeneous systems,” Jim Douglas, Wind River’s chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Helix Platform offers the best of both worlds.” He added that the product “is a critical building block for how we will continue to accelerate the evolution from automated devices towards more intelligent and autonomous systems.” The use of one operating system over another depends on whether an application needs to be isolated.
Using virtualization, legacy code running on top of the VxWorks operating system—an algorithm that controls an industrial robot, for instance—can be protected to make sure it never fails. Other applications that are not similarly safety-critical—a user interface based on Windows running on the robot’s control panel or an artificial intelligence program based on embedded Linux to detect malfunctions ahead of time—can be upgraded without any downtime.
Consolidating all these applications also means consolidating all the general purpose processors that used to run them. Wind River’s Helix Platform supports NXP’s Layerscape, Xilinx’s Zynq Ultrascale, Intel’s Xeon and other multicore computer chips that can spread out applications by moving them into different cores.
Designing IoT projects with the Raspberry Pi Zero W will become a little easier with the Strawberry4Pi Baseboard, which allows you to control virtually any electrical device, and do so from anywhere.
To make a multicore SoC like STMicro’s work most effectively, it of course needs a PCB as well as the required components, preferably packaged into one solution much like Octavo’s OSD32MP1 SiP.
A German-based development team, led by Peer Stritzinger (Erlang solutions for embedded systems), have introduced a second generation GRiSP board that offers native support for the Erlang and Elixer programming languages.
Nordic Semiconductorin uusi nRF52811-piiri on nyt ehtinyt näytetoimituksiin Rutronik24-verkkokaupan kautta. Kyse on yhdestä markkinoiden ensimmäisistä piireistä, joka tukee Bluetooth 5.1 -laajennusten lisäksi Thread- ja Zigbee-protokollia.
“With Arduino in the process of abandoning their ‘classic’ form factor that has for some years now been the standard, in favor of something more modern, the community seems instead to be adopting Adafruit Industries’ Feather as the next standard.
Since most of the students had little to no experience in IoT, IDT provided each group with an SDAWIR03 sensor connectivity kit. The kits includes a sensor node that wirelessly communicates to the hub through IDT’s SensorShare™ 6LoWPAN protocol and is configured to display real-time data to a mobile device via Amazon® Web Services (AWS). Instead of the conventional route of just focusing on piecing together components and sensors with an Arduino platform, students had their hands on an entire system – from the sensors to the wireless communication, and data accessible via any AWS service module. This eased students into the technology so they could achieve their concept without worrying about having the needed technical expertise to get started.
There is now little question that the Raspberry Pi has become the de facto standard form factor in the single board computer market. However in the micro-controller market things are a little bit more complicated.
With Arduino in the process of abandoning their “classic” form factor that has for some years now been the standard, in favour of something more modern, the community seems instead to be adopting Adafruit’s Feather as the next standard.
Uusi järjestelmäpiiri perustuu STMicroelectronicsin viime viikolla esittelemään STM32MP1-mikroprosessoriin. OSD32MP1-piirin avulla sulautettujen järjestelmien kehittäjät voivat siirtyä Linuxiin ilman, että suunnittelun kokoa tai monimutkaisuutta tarvitsee kasvattaa.
There are a lot of ARM microcontrollers out there, and the parts from ST are featured prominently is the high-power builds we’re seeing. The STM32F4 and ~F7 are powerhouses with great support, and the STM32F0 and the other younger children of the family make for very good, low-power microcontrollers. Now, the STM32 family is getting a big brother. It runs Linux. It’s two ARM Cortex-A7 cores and one M4 core on the same chip. The STM32MP1 is the chip you want if you still can’t figure out how to waste computing cycles by blinking LEDs.

Although you don’t hear about it very much over the clamor of emulating old video game systems, one of the biggest uses of the Raspberry Pi outside its educational roots is in industry. The Pi makes for a great industrial control system, and if you mount it to a DIN rail, you’re golden. This is the biggest reason the Pi foundation is still making the Pi 1, and it’s one of the big motivations behind the Pi Compute Module.
Now that the Pi Compute Module 3 and 3+ have been out for a while, it’s only fitting that these modules get a great carrier board. The balenaFin 1.1 is out now, and it’s the perfect carrier board for the Pi compute module.
[VoltLog] got a hold of a prerelease unit of Joulescope — a DC energy analyzer that promises to make it easy to optimize power and energy usage of your electronic designs. You can find his review in the video below. The device is a very fast ammeter and voltmeter. Given that, it is easy to compute energy and, over time, power.
Once upon a time, small Linux-capable single board computers were novelties, but not anymore. Today we have a wide selection of them, many built around modules we could buy for our own projects. Some of the chipset suppliers behind these boards compete on cost, others find a niche to differentiate their product. Octavo Systems is one of the latter offering system-in-package (SiP) modules that are specifically designed for easy integration. They described how simple it would be to build a minimal computer using their SC335x C-SiP, and to drive the point home they brought a deadbug implementation to Embedded World 2019.
Rigado’s Cacade IoT gateway—an integrated device for edge connectivity, computing, and security—ensures commercial IoT deployments keep devices and data secure all the way to the cloud. Cascade is outfitted with NXP Semiconductors’ A71CH plug-and-trust secure element, which allows flexible, secure connections to a range of cloud services, including Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, without writing security code or exposing keys.
The Stemoscope supports a frequency range of 10 to 1,000 Hz, and it communicates using BLE with the free Stemoscope app running on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android devices
The reason why I’m waffling on about all of these here is because I was just made aware of the Stemoscope Kickstarter Project. This little beauty is small, good-looking, and affordable at only $29 (which is less than what I paid for my useless stethoscope).

Since most of the students had little to no experience in IoT, IDT provided each group with an SDAWIR03 sensor connectivity kit. The kits includes a sensor node that wirelessly communicates to the hub through IDT’s SensorShare™ 6LoWPAN protocol and is configured to display real-time data to a mobile device via Amazon® Web Services (AWS). Instead of the conventional route of just focusing on piecing together components and sensors with an Arduino platform, students had their hands on an entire system – from the sensors to the wireless communication, and data accessible via any AWS service module. This eased students into the technology so they could achieve their concept without worrying about having the needed technical expertise to get started.

A SparkFun Feather Board?
https://blog.hackster.io/a-sparkfun-feather-board-65cddf5b7a98
There is now little question that the Raspberry Pi has become the de facto standard form factor in the single board computer market. However in the micro-controller market things are a little bit more complicated.
With Arduino in the process of abandoning their “classic” form factor that has for some years now been the standard, in favour of something more modern, the community seems instead to be adopting Adafruit’s Feather as the next standard.

Uusi järjestelmäpiiri perustuu STMicroelectronicsin viime viikolla esittelemään STM32MP1-mikroprosessoriin. OSD32MP1-piirin avulla sulautettujen järjestelmien kehittäjät voivat siirtyä Linuxiin ilman, että suunnittelun kokoa tai monimutkaisuutta tarvitsee kasvattaa.

New Part Day: The STM32 That Runs Linux
https://hackaday.com/2019/02/27/new-part-day-the-stm32-that-runs-linux/
There are a lot of ARM microcontrollers out there, and the parts from ST are featured prominently is the high-power builds we’re seeing. The STM32F4 and ~F7 are powerhouses with great support, and the STM32F0 and the other younger children of the family make for very good, low-power microcontrollers. Now, the STM32 family is getting a big brother. It runs Linux. It’s two ARM Cortex-A7 cores and one M4 core on the same chip. The STM32MP1 is the chip you want if you still can’t figure out how to waste computing cycles by blinking LEDs.

Balena Introduces DIN-Capable Pi Compute Module Carrier Board
https://hackaday.com/2019/03/01/balena-introduces-din-capable-pi-compute-module-carrier-board/
Although you don’t hear about it very much over the clamor of emulating old video game systems, one of the biggest uses of the Raspberry Pi outside its educational roots is in industry. The Pi makes for a great industrial control system, and if you mount it to a DIN rail, you’re golden. This is the biggest reason the Pi foundation is still making the Pi 1, and it’s one of the big motivations behind the Pi Compute Module.
Now that the Pi Compute Module 3 and 3+ have been out for a while, it’s only fitting that these modules get a great carrier board. The balenaFin 1.1 is out now, and it’s the perfect carrier board for the Pi compute module.

Octavo Systems Shows Off With Deadbug Linux Computer
https://hackaday.com/2019/03/15/octavo-systems-shows-off-with-deadbug-linux-computer/
Once upon a time, small Linux-capable single board computers were novelties, but not anymore. Today we have a wide selection of them, many built around modules we could buy for our own projects. Some of the chipset suppliers behind these boards compete on cost, others find a niche to differentiate their product. Octavo Systems is one of the latter offering system-in-package (SiP) modules that are specifically designed for easy integration. They described how simple it would be to build a minimal computer using their SC335x C-SiP, and to drive the point home they brought a deadbug implementation to Embedded World 2019.

Smart, Connected, Affordable Wireless Stethoscope
https://www.eeweb.com/profile/max-maxfield/articles/smart-connected-affordable-wireless-stethoscope
The Stemoscope supports a frequency range of 10 to 1,000 Hz, and it communicates using BLE with the free Stemoscope app running on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android devices
The reason why I’m waffling on about all of these here is because I was just made aware of the Stemoscope Kickstarter Project. This little beauty is small, good-looking, and affordable at only $29 (which is less than what I paid for my useless stethoscope).
