WILL CARMAKERS ADOPT TOMTOM’S INDIGO OPEN, INTEGRATED DIGITAL COCKPIT SOFTWARE
PLATFORM?

Can TomTom Build a Windows-like Partner Ecosystem for Vehicles?
by Steven Leibson - January 5, 2022

Perhaps you recognize the name TomTom. It’s a Dutch company, founded in 1991.
The company’s original name was Palmtop Software, and the company specialized in
software for handheld computers, also known as Personal Digital Assistants
(PDAs), like the Psion family and Windows CE devices. As that market dwindled,
the company pivoted to location technology based on GPS. Adopting a new name and
mission, TomTom introduced … Read More → "Will Carmakers Adopt TomTom’s IndiGO

Adventures with WiFi printers Can Humble the Most Experienced Engineers
by Steven Leibson - January 3, 2022

This is not my original first-of-the-year story for 2022. I wrote a different
story about difficulties I had installing a specific manufacturer’s networked
all-in-one printer in my daughter’s new business location. I spent hours trying
to make that printer work and had endless problems in getting the overly finicky
software to function. In the end, we shipped the printer back and I bought
another for … Read More → "Stay Curious. Stay Humble. Stay Connected."

FEATURED CHALK TALK


EASY HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SCALABILITY ACROSS RENESAS RA MCUS

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Renesas

There are a bewildering number of choices when designing with an MCU. It can be
a challenge to find one with exactly what your design requires - form factor,
cost, power consumption, performance, features, and ease-of-use. In this episode
of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Brad Rex of Renesas about the
small-but-powerful Renesas RA family - a flexible and scalable collection of
MCUs that may be exactly what your next project needs.
