Like the relentless rise of the undead in Night of the Living Dead, we unleashed our latest creations at events last quarter.
Got Debian? – Debian brings the convenience of a PC-like environment to embedded systems, enabling you to work on your application without the need to cross compile code using Yocto. It is a fast out of the box experience to try features in Linux. We were excited to play with this new offering that NXP announced this summer and made a couple new demos powered by the phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus:
Unlock new possibilities for innovation, efficiency, and learn more about NXP’s support for Debian OS here. There will be one last chance to check out our PC-like Debian demo at NXP Tech Days Detroit on October 30th and 31st—a perfect Halloween finale! Come see it before it vanishes into the night.
The phyCADE – Just like a resurrected arcade game, our phyCADE demo, came to life at EOSS in Vienna, Austria. Based on the phyCORE-AM62x this demo currently runs the classic arcade game PacMan. Don’t worry it’s hungry for more games so you can look forward to that for future shows. Isn’t that PHUN?
Much like Dr. Frankenstein pieced together his creation from powerful components, the i.MX 93 processor module combines cutting-edge elements to give life to your most advanced machine learning (ML) applications. Measuring a compact 36 mm x 36 mm, this tiny powerhouse is driven by NXP’s Energy Flex architecture, allowing you to create highly efficient yet robust systems. The module’s Arm® Ethos™-U65 microNPU delivers the computing brawn necessary to handle complex ML tasks, all while keeping energy consumption at a bare minimum—perfect for IoT applications that need to be both cost-effective and energy-efficient. The best part? phyCORE-i.MX 93 kits are available now as of Q3.
From the shadows of development, our newest software releases for the phyCORE-AM62x, phyCORE-AM62Ax, phyCORE-AM64x, and phyCORE-AM57x SOMs emerge like sinister tales from the crypt, ready to breathe life into your projects. Each module holds the key to unlocking powerful solutions and with every update, these SOMs push the boundaries of technology, summoning projects that are as efficient as they are unexpected. Dare to explore these new releases—who knows what thrilling developments may be creeping just beyond the code…
Learn more about what’s changed in these releases in the Software Release section of our blog.
Earlier this month our global sales teams from America, Germany, China, India, and France converged for an exciting summit in Paris. Much like the surprising twists of 1997’s An American Werewolf in Paris, the summit promised unexpected collaborations and fresh ideas. This gathering was a rare opportunity to connect, exchange insights, and strategize, all while strengthening the global partnerships that drive our success, with Paris—famous for its history, culture, and touch of mystery—as our backdrop. As a global company with a presence in five countries, we leverage diverse perspectives to provide innovative solutions for our customers. Our international reach allows us to deliver faster support, customized services, and cutting-edge technologies to meet the evolving needs of industries worldwide.
At PHYTEC, we venture beyond the standard SOM offerings, much like the journey into the uncanny worlds of 1981’s The Beyond (Italian supernatural horror film directed by Lucio Fulci that has become a cult classic known for its surreal imagery and intense horror). Our commitment to exceptional support includes advanced thermal management to ensure optimal performance (Thermal Accessory Kits for phyCORE-AM62x and phyCORE-AM64x coming soon!), comprehensive software support for seamless integration, proactive Product Lifecycle Management to ensure long-term availability for all our solutions, design services, and more. We believe in providing solutions that transcend expectations, enabling your projects to reach new heights. With PHYTEC, you’re entering a realm where innovation knows no bounds (and is a lot less scary than The Beyond!) In Q4 prepare to explore deeper into worlds beyond the SOM, anticipate a new YouTube video series by Applications Engineer True Loan featuring graphics platforms supported on the phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus, Zephyr support and development kits for the phyCORE-RT1170, and a few other tricks we have up our sleeves. But beware—these new offerings might just unlock more than you expect, revealing powerful secrets lurking beneath the surface of embedded systems. Stay tuned… if you dare!
