The Internet of Things is eroding the embedded systems market and it is eager to get more security and some AI.
Michael Barr, Barr Group's chief technology officer, will present at the conference his findings on the 2018 Embedded Systems Security and Security Survey. A survey of 1,700 employees found that 61% of embedded designs now connect to the Internet at least occasionally. Surprise: They are not all safe.
The good news is that 67% of respondents said that security is a design consideration and is 6 percentage points higher than the 2016 survey. But 22% said that security is not a product requirement; many admit that they did not use best practices, such as conducting regular code reviews - and that less than half of all embedded engineers designed for the Internet of Things encrypt their data.
Compressing costs and bringing products to market quickly can put security back. Even if this problem is solved, the security problem is a problem because it is a decentralized market, with different operating systems, hardware configurations, and wired and wireless connections - there are a large number of attack surfaces and there is no static solution. "Barr.
His remedies come down to education, adoption of best programming practices, use of encryption techniques, and the establishment of multiple obstacles to attacks.
The study found that more than a quarter of embedded designs now use four or more processors, while the fifth uses Linux variants. (Chart: Bar Group)
There is no doubt that Barr will have a complete dance card in Nuremberg. But security is the bet on the Internet of Things. This year's special sauce is an artificial intelligence - some people have it and some are still doing it.
According to James Stansberry, general manager of Samsung's Artik Internet of Things Group, Samsung Electronics is one of the many companies still in the evaluation stage. Its internal work and its relationship with startup companies such as Graphcore are very close.
Stansberry said: "This is not the choice of hardware architecture, but the traditional von Neumann processor connected to the neural network accelerator and provide a single programming paradigm - this is due to software developers.
In the long run, each major supplier will have an inference accelerator module in the selected version of its embedded SoC. However, given the rapid development of applications and algorithms, this will take time, leaving opportunities for AMD and Nvidia. In fact, AMD's CTO Mark Papermaster is one of the two leading developers of EmbeddedWorld.
Artificial intelligence is just a dish of the Internet of Things that major suppliers are trying to deploy. "Need many companies to create IoT solutions," said Samsung's Stansberry.
Therefore, an important topic is cooperation. Samsung announced this week that it has partnered with PTC to add its ThingWorx data analysis service to the Korean giant's SmartThings cloud to manage IoT nodes. It also reached partnerships with at least three companies to bridge the gap between industrial gateways and cellular IoT connections.
For dealers like Ashish Parikh, this is all about partnerships. Arrow vice president of the Internet of Things platform works with operators such as AT&T and Vodaphone, connectivity providers such as LoRa and Sigfox, and cloud services from Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM, as well as the company's traditional hardware vendors.
"You have to manage many different relationships to implement the Internet of Things project. Users are happy to let us do it for them," he said.
In early January, Arrow completed an agreement to acquire design services company Einfochips to help put these parts together. The acquisition adds about 1,200 engineers to Arrow's business. In addition, they will also help manage the use of IoT SDKs for distributors that are now designed by "dozens of customers..." In the coming years, it is expected that there will be hundreds of thousands of devices in use. "Parikh said.
Looking at this highly diversified market, Samsung's Stansberry stated: "The transformation of small factories is very popular, and the other market that is sought after by the market is commercial buildings... [However,] home automation is decentralized, and healthcare has just begun. See the ROI path. "
Android is an open source mobile operating system based on Linux platform released by Google at the end of 2007, and then improved for use in netbooks and MIDs. The platform consists of operating system, user interface and application software, and is claimed to be the first truly open and complete mobile software for mobile terminals.
To put it simply, the Android system is actually a very open system. It can not only realize the functions of the most commonly used notebook computers, but also realize various directional operations like mobile phones. Moreover, it is specially designed for mobile phones. The operating system developed for equipment has advantages in system resource consumption and human-computer interaction design. It is an operating system that combines traditional and advanced advantages.
