A low-power sensor node runs machine learning without the cloud. A new modular architecture pairs heterogeneous environmental sensing with on-device inference, adaptive LoRaWAN reporting, and solar-assisted energy management to reduce traffic while keeping event detection local.
-
Variscite has launched its first SMARC module family today, globally. The VAR-SMARC-MX8M-PLUS targets compact industrial and medical edge designs, combining NXP’s i.MX 8M Plus with dual Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE1588 support), expanded USB, and an on-module TPM 2.0 security device.

Raspberry Pi is raising prices again across higher-memory boards globally. The company cites sharply higher LPDDR4 costs, with increases applied to Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, plus Compute Module 4 and 5 products at 2GB and above, while 1GB variants and LPDDR2-based products are unaffected.
-
Microservice Store is pitching a marketplace for embedded software blocks. Its Embedded Microservices model packages verified functionality as isolated native executables, aiming to let engineers patch devices component-by-component on MCUs as small as Arm Cortex-M0.
-
Lanner’s EAI-I351 targets rugged robotics with Jetson Thor compute modules. Built for multi-sensor autonomy workloads, the appliance pairs high-bandwidth networking with camera-centric I/O and a wide operating temperature range.
-
SGET has released an open FPGA module specification aimed at standardisation. The Open Harmonized FPGA Module specification targets reduced design complexity, improved portability, and vendor-neutral scaling across FPGA and SoC-FPGA platforms for industrial, communications, and embedded applications.
-
Xsens has upgraded Sirius and Avior IMUs with Heave output. The update targets real-time wave motion compensation, with sub-5cm heave performance claimed for marine stabilisation systems, delivered via on-device processing and a firmware update.
-
Westermo’s Viper-3000 and WeOS 5 gain SL2 certification for rail. The Ethernet switch family is now certified to IEC 62443-4-2, targeting faster system certification and stronger protection for rolling stock and mission-critical networks.
