GÖPEL electronic GmbH wins with ChipVORX SI in the tools category To reduce the effort required for design validation and production testing for modern complex assemblies with high densities, ChipVORX-SI (Synthetic Instruments) was developed as an innovative technology for the automated use of existing FPGA as design-integrated test centres. It uses the native capabilities of the FPGA to configure so-called embedded instruments and to execute various test functions. (www.goepel.com)
Basler AG awarded first prize in the new category “Embedded Vision” with its dart BCON for MIPI Development Kit
Basler’s new Embedded Vision Kit includes the first camera module making use of the Image Signal Processor of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SoC under Linux. This innovative product concept significantly reduces the overall processor load of the system and thus frees more computing power for the actual application. (www.baslerweb.com/en/)
Wisebatt wins in the new category “Startup” with its simulation tool to optimise electronic designs
Wisebatt is a unique simulation tool for electronics engineers developing IoT devices. They can build virtual prototypes and collaborate to make the optimal choice between cost, battery life and performance, very early in the design cycle. Within a short time, hardware engineers access complex modelling results. (www.wisebatt.com/)
