Ashling and Embecosm partnership continues to provide “best-in-class” embedded tools services and solutions to the RISC-V market

NUREMBERG, Germany, June 21, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Embedded World -- Ashling, a supplier of high-performance embedded software and hardware tools for the RISC-V market and Embecosm the leading supplier of RISC-V free and Open-source Compiler Toolchains today announced their partnership, now in its fifth year, continues to grow and deliver the full spectrum of development tools including Compilers, IDEs, Debuggers, SDKs and Debug and Trace probes to a broad range of customers particularly in the RISC-V market. Both companies are active members of the OpenHW Group (where they are currently collaborating on the development of a RISC-V based Development Kit and SDK) and of course RISC-V International.In today’s world, using configurable processor core IP such as RISC-V or Arm, it is possible to build highly customized devices which are designed to...

Fundamentals: What is edge computing?

It’s the weekend – time to get cozy and fire up the latest binge-worthy show on Netflix. You start up Netflix and see the dreaded loading wheel. You’re not sure how long it’ll spin – 5 seconds or 15 seconds – but it’s enough to get under your skin. This lag is actually Netflix connecting to the cloud, so it can pull up the selected show. Just about everything is connected via the cloud, but as the Internet of Things keeps growing, it puts more stress on the cloud, causing bigger latency issues. So how do we get faster speeds? Enter edge computing. What is edge computing? Simply put, it brings the computation and data storage closer to devices that need them. Typically, IoT devices rely on a central location that could be located thousands of miles away. Edge computing moves storage and servers closer to where the data is. This...

Quantum computing’s threat to crypto — Part 2

Work on quantum computers is accelerating as developers grow more confident that they will be able to address problems that are intractable with classical computing. That may be good news in some contexts, but bad news for cryptography. The concern is that quantum computers will crack the cryptographic schemes that protect our online lives, financial systems, and communications networks. An algorithm to do so has been around since 1994, awaiting the development of a quantum computer upon which it can run. The challenge in cryptography is to find a way in which two entities can communicate securely over a public channel. This is easy to do if the entities can meet and share a secret for use as the basis of a coding scheme. It’s more difficult if the two entities never meet, and so cannot share a secret in this way. Public key schemes address the...
