Back from Embedded World 2023
It was great to be back in Nuremberg for Embedded World after three long years. The trade show is probably the most significant event in the embedded systems industry, and it was a relief to see that it has survived the pandemic with more than 900 vendors exhibiting.
I recorded this video on the very first day when the doors opened. What you see in the video is probably 10% or less of the full show floor. I am always impressed by the size of...
What to See at Embedded World 2023
Stephane Boucher is heading back to Embedded World 2023 in Nuremberg and is excited to feel the show’s post-pandemic buzz, with more than 900 vendors on the floor. He’s compiled a short list of vendors worth visiting and invites attendees to a casual meet-up on Tuesday evening at Hausbrauerei Altstadthof at 18:30. Join him to reconnect, network, and catch the latest industry trends.
Favorite Software AND Hardware Tools for Embedded Systems Development
Tool choice can make or break an embedded project, and Stephane Boucher gathered developers' favorite hardware and software picks from the Embedded Online Conference into one handy roundup. The post points to a companion video and lists concrete tools from oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to J-Link probes, Python, unit-test frameworks, and soldering irons. It is a quick, practical peek at what experienced embedded engineers actually use.
A New Related Site!
The post announces the launch of MLRelated, a new Related site dedicated to machine learning and deep learning. It positions MLRelated as complementary to existing Related sites by highlighting cross-cutting interests: TinyML for embedded developers, machine/deep learning applications in signal processing, and FPGA-based AI/ML implementations. The new site debuts with a modest amount of content and is expected to expand rapidly through contributions from the Related community in the form of blogs, forum threads, and webinars. The author invites readers to report navigation errors, share feedback, and propose ideas to help steer MLRelated into a practical, community-driven resource for researchers and practitioners in ML and adjacent domains.

Two jobs
Stephane Boucher explains why EmbeddedRelated went quiet for a few months after a volunteer project demanded more of his time. He and his wife organized a clown-gymnastics show with 15 kids, sold more than 700 of 800 tickets, and raised $2,700 for the Tree of Hope. Now the shows are done and he plans to resume regular posting with new site features.

Crowdfunding Articles?
Many of you have the knowledge and talent to write technical articles that would benefit the EE community. What is missing for most of you though, and very understandably so, is the time and motivation to do it.
But what if you could make some money to compensate for your time spent on writing the article(s)? Would some of you find the motivation and make the time?
I am thinking of implementing a system/mechanism that would allow the EE community to...
