Arduino Secures $32 Million in Series B Funding to Enter Enterprise Market

Arduino Secures $32 Million in Series B Funding to Enter Enterprise Market

▲ For more exciting content, please click on the blue words above and follow us!The open-source electronics platform Arduino recently announced that it has completed a $32 million Series B funding round, led by Robert Bosch Venture Capital (RBVC), with participation from Renesas Electronics, Anzu Partners, and ARM. The company revealed plans to use this funding to enter the enterprise market, "providing enterprise-level applications for the next generation of professional engineers."Arduino co-founder and CEO Massimo Banzi stated that many engineers from Generation Z and millennials around the world have grown up alongside Arduino. They are accustomed to Arduino's open-source hardware and software, as well as cloud services; as they enter the workforce, their related needs will also be brought into
The Turbulent Future of Arm: Can RISC-V Take on the Challenge?

The Turbulent Future of Arm: Can RISC-V Take on the Challenge?

According to reports from Electronic Enthusiasts Network (by Zhou Kaiyang), there have been numerous reports claiming that Nvidia's exclusive acquisition negotiations for Arm have entered the final stages, with related parties stating that the transaction could be completed as early as late summer this year. As an architecture that supplies billions of chips to the market each year, this news has raised concerns about Arm's position, and its open-source competitor RISC-V has begun to emerge in people's minds.As the dominant player in the mobile processor market, Arm is currently the mainstream RISC architecture. While Intel has triumphed in the PC sector with its CISC architecture, Apple’s shift of its Mac product line to Arm processors means Intel is about to
Introduction to ARM Processors: Modern Processor Features and Cortex-A9 Microarchitecture Analysis

Introduction to ARM Processors: Modern Processor Features and Cortex-A9 Microarchitecture Analysis

Previous Articles:Introduction to ARM Processors 1 - OverviewIntroductionThis article is the second part of the introduction series on ARM processors, mainly introducing some basic technologies and concepts of modern superscalar out-of-order processors. We will take the Cortex-A9 processor as an example to see which technologies are used to enhance performance, laying the foundation for our subsequent understanding of the microarchitecture of ARM processors and comparative analysis.Note: In fact, explaining the key points of modern processor technology can be quite complicated. Each technology might require an article, and since I am not from a related professional background, my energy and understanding depth are limited. Therefore, I can only roughly list some basic concepts. For more in-depth analysis, you can refer to
The Rise of ARM Chips: A Game Changer in the Semiconductor Industry

The Rise of ARM Chips: A Game Changer in the Semiconductor Industry

Since its official establishment in 1990, ARM has continuously made breakthroughs in the field of 32-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer CPU) development, evolving its architecture from V3 to V7. As ARM has always sold intellectual property (IP) to major semiconductor manufacturers without engaging in chip production and sales itself, and due to the significant advantages of its core designs, such as low power consumption and low cost, it has gained strong support from numerous semiconductor manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). ARM has achieved tremendous success in the 32-bit embedded application field, capturing over 75% of the market for 32-bit RISC embedded products, establishing a market leadership position in low-power, low-cost embedded applications. More than 50 international companies design
Introduction to Mainstream Router CPUs on the Market

Introduction to Mainstream Router CPUs on the Market

In the last issue, we introduced some mainstream router CPUs: 【Router Series】 Introduction to Mainstream Router CPUs 1This issue will complete the remaining information, but they are mostly mid-to-high-end routers, so enjoy reading.1: BCM4906/4908These two chips are the true successors of the 470x series, adopting the ARMv8 A53 architecture, with a frequency of 1.8GHz. The main difference between the two chips is that one is dual-core and the other is quad-core. With the A53 architecture and 64-bit support, the clock speed has nearly doubled, and it has added AES decryption instruction sets, thus significantly improving performance compared to the 470x series. When using a VPN, you no longer have to worry about insufficient performance to fully utilize the bandwidth of
Top Smart Voice Development Boards You Should Consider

Top Smart Voice Development Boards You Should Consider

I know a pseudo-engineer who loves to chase after all sorts of trendy gadgets. Recently, smart voice assistants have become popular, making him envious for a long time. However, this person is quite stingy and couldn't bear to buy the Tmall Genie for 399, so he turned his attention to many smart voice development boards that have recently been released.In fact, the design manufacturers of development boards, especially those with strong independent design capabilities like SEEED, Adafruit, and MikroEle, are very good at seizing trends and quickly launching corresponding development kits. Since smart voice is related to cloud computing, we can see that major IT companies like Amazon and Baidu have also launched development boards, not to mention many smaller
Remembering Jim Ready, the Father of Embedded Linux!

Remembering Jim Ready, the Father of Embedded Linux!

On Christmas Eve 2017, my old friend Andre Kobel wrote to me with some unfortunate news that Jim Ready had passed away. He knew I was visiting the US at the time and asked if my schedule would allow me to attend the memorial service. This news was truly shocking! I had seen Jim at the end of 2016 and presented him with my new book, "Chronicles of Embedded Operating Systems," thanking him for writing the foreword (see Figure 1). He was very pleased, and we discussed plans to translate this book into English. Little did I expect that just a year later, Jim would be gone. Figure 1: In 2016 with Jim Ready in Cupertino, Silicon ValleyAfter Christmas, with
