It’s good to be back! Reunited at Embedded World 2022

Embedded World 2022, held in Nuremberg, Germany, marked the return of the live event after going digital in 2021. The exhibition and conference offered a platform for companies in the embedded electronics sector to showcase their latest developments and meet with customers and engineers looking to accelerate product development.


Four Avnet companies were among the exhibitors, including Avnet Embedded, Avnet Silica, and EBV, which hosted Avnet Abacus. Visitors expressed excitement and enthusiasm to learn about the latest trends and developments in the industry, which had seen a slowdown due to the pandemic.


A significant number of exhibitors were suppliers of embedded system building blocks, such as connectors, displays, and antennas, which are available on Avnet's line card. Additionally, more embedded software companies were present, indicating that software reliability is becoming more important for OEMs outside of the usual sectors of automotive and military & aerospace.


Embedded World celebrated its 20th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of the popular Raspberry Pi single-board computer (SBC), which was launched at the event in 2012. The Raspberry Pi and similar boards have redefined the way manufacturers and engineers think about SBCs.


Avnet Embedded showcased a range of solutions it developed for customers, including an electric vehicle (EV) charge point aimed at EVSE suppliers. The continued interest in Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning was also apparent at the event, with companies such as STMicroelectronics, NXP Semiconductors, Klika Tech, and Quectel showcasing their AI-based platforms and solutions.


Overall, Embedded World 2022 provided a valuable opportunity for companies in the embedded electronics sector to reconnect and showcase their latest developments in the industry. It also highlighted the increasing importance of software reliability and the growing role of AI and machine learning in the field.

Are microLEDs the next big (small) thing?

Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has been around for decades, but the introduction of micro LEDs has changed the way we think about it. As the name suggests, micro LEDs are tiny versions of the regular LEDs engineers use in embedded systems. The main application areas for micro LEDs are displays of various shapes and sizes, from very small to very big. MicroLEDs are defined as LEDs smaller than 100 micrometers (um) in size. This site is significantly smaller than traditional LEDs, and it opens up new possibilities for applications. The main advantage of micro LEDs is their increased brightness and higher power efficiency compared to OLED or LCD-based displays. This makes them ideal for microdisplays, which are defined as very small displays used for near-eye applications (i.e. not direct view). These displays are usually under 1-inch in size, with high performance (in terms of resolution, brightness, and refresh rates). The manufacturing process of micro LEDs is challenging due to...

Safety and security in autonomous driving

The integration of autonomous technology in vehicles has brought about a new set of concerns, particularly when it comes to safety and security. As the industry moves towards higher levels of automation, it becomes increasingly important to ensure that cybersecurity measures are in place to protect both the vehicles and their passengers. One key standard that is being used in the automotive industry is ISO/SAE 21434, which provides a structured process for incorporating cybersecurity considerations into automotive products. This standard requires manufacturers and suppliers to demonstrate due diligence in implementing cybersecurity engineering and ensures that cybersecurity management is applied throughout the supply chain. The development of automated driving features also brings new challenges to safety. Historically, automotive electrical and electronic systems have been regulated according to the functional safety standard ISO 26262, which assures a high level of resilience in th...

Six cool and update autonomous technologies

 EVAA prevents plane crashes with its moral compass: NASA’s Resilient Autonomy team and the Federal Aviation Administration have developed the Expandable Variable Autonomy Architecture (EVAA) to avoid aviation accidents by giving aircraft autonomous capabilities. It can assist human pilots or act on its own and has already saved 11 lives according to Mark Skoog, principal investigator for autonomy research at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center. Autonomous tractors increase farm productivity: Autonomous farming can increase the efficiency of large industrial farms, by using self-operating tractors and other machinery, such as John Deere's Autonomous Tractor Concept, which uses GPS and sensor technology to navigate and perform tasks on the farm. Self-driving tractor-trailers fight driver fatigue: Self-driving tractor-trailers can help reduce the risk of accidents caused by driver fatigue, by using sensors and cameras to navigate the roads, and advanced algorithms to make dec...
