Software Success: Continuous Integration for a Coordinated StrategyWhy Use a CI Model?  A small software development project may not seem overwhelming if you’re a single developer with a set launch date. But these fictionalized, straightforward scenarios are seldom...

Beacon EmbeddedWorks and Crank Software partner to deliver advanced hardware and streamlined GUI development for embedded systemsEDEN PRARIE, March 4, 2021 - Beacon EmbeddedWorks now partners with Crank Software to streamline high-performance GUI development for...

Power consumption is a key consideration when developing nearly all cutting-edge electronics. Whether to prolong the battery life of critical devices for military personnel, maintain low industrial energy costs, or reduce consumption for environmental conservation, achieving a power-efficient device is often of critical importance. While power constraints will always exist for electronics, consumption can be monitored, controlled, and optimized to deliver exceptional efficiency. This is especially true for embedded system development.

Beacon EmbeddedWorks, a Compass Electronics Group company, is now an officially listed High Definition Media Interface (HDMI™) adopter. As an HDMI™ adopter, we expand our SOMs’ display and peripheral capabilities to include HDMI™ integration for our embedded solutions.

When Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) launch a new device, success does not hinge solely on the merit of the idea. Similarly, a memorable design may support differentiation, but is hardly sufficient to secure a high adoption rate. Ultimately, the market accepts or rejects new products contingent upon their functionality. Above all else, consumers expect devices to be capable of executing functions associated with intended use.

Beacon EmbeddedWorks announces its new line of versatile RZ/G2 SOMs. As a Renesas Alliance Partner, Beacon EmbeddedWorks’ RZ/G2 SOMs are the first available solution based on the Renesas RZ/ G2N, RZ/G2M, and RZ/G2H SoCs. The flexible RZ/G2 SOM series delivers the latest in connectivity and multimedia capabilities, with unrivaled security and support. The SOM series is configurable for architectures ranging from dual-core to octa-core depending on customer needs. Packed with multimedia capabilities, the RZ/G2 series is designed to support a cutting-edge user- interface. With up to seven video signal processors and a PowerVR 3D Graphics Engine (EDGE), the RZ/G2 series of SOMs are perfectly suited for high-performance multimedia applications including 3D graphics and high-definition video.

The rising prominence of artificial intelligence (AI) has challenged developers to create devices that are increasingly capable of understanding and responding to information in real time. What separates AI from your standard processing applications is the ability to think, learn from experience, and operate with minimal human intervention. The complex systems and massive quantities of data necessary to implement AI effectively often require the implementation of a network of devices working in tandem to collect, interpret, and respond to information.

Beacon EmbeddedWorks has launched! Building on 20 years of experience as the embedded solutions division of Logic PD, our new brand will deliver an expanded product suite and comprehensive support service portfolio.

Beacon EmbeddedWorks announces the new System On Module (SOM) based around NXP’s i.MX 8M mini or nano processors. The SOM delivers integrated security, low power consumption, small form factor, and the powerful processing necessary for video and graphics applications.
