Embedded Executive: The Supply Chain Is In Turmoil | Variscite
2d ago00:12:47Tap to summarizeA lot is going on in the world these days that can disrupt the supply chain. From political issues to tariffs to the data center craze, some components are just difficult to obtain. Thankfully, there are ways around the issues and different ways to deal with them. To get a little insight into these issues, I spoke to Ohad Yaniv, the CEO of Variscite, who deals with them daily. He's this week’s guest on the Embedded Executives podcast.
Transcribe →Embedded Executive: Support the IoT—Everywhere | Ayla Networks
1w ago00:15:12Tap to summarizeIt would seem like a no-brainer to support IoT in various regions. But that’s not necessarily the case. And when you look at how many new applications are popping up, the waters get even muddier. And don’t even get me started on what happens when you try to go wireless. Someone who is much closer to the issues/hurdles than I is John Grady, the CEO of Ayla Networks, who joined me on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
Transcribe →Embedded Executive: Understand the What, When, and How of Edge AI | Synaptics
2w ago00:10:46Tap to summarizeEdge AI is exceeding the expectations that I had for the technology, at least at this early point in its ramp-up. I had expected it to take longer to reach fruition than it actually has, although you could probably argue that it hasn’t come close to reaching even the beginnings of its potential. To understand where Edge AI stands today, where it’s going, and when it could potentially get there, I spoke to John Weil, the Vice President and General Manager for IoT and Edge AI Processors at Synaptics, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
Transcribe →Embedded Executive: Employing AI For Code Development | Perforce Software
3w ago00:13:08Tap to summarizeShould you use AI to generate code? Or should it be limited to code review? From my research, it depends on who you ask. In this case, I asked Rod Cope, the Chief Technical Officer at Perforce Software. Rod has a great deal of experience in this space, and he was my guest on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
Transcribe →Embedded Executive: According To Its CEO, Altera Is Back | Altera
May 2700:16:02Tap to summarizeThose of us who have been around the embedded space for a while are pretty familiar with Altera’s history in the programmable logic space. Without going through the details, it’s a fairly rocky past. The company now claims that we should put the past in the rearview mirror and focus not just on what the company is offering today, but what’s on its roadmap. They feel that the relationships they’ve made and the inroads they continue to make put them in the perfect position to provide the products its customers want and need. I wanted to hear this story right from the horse’s mouth, so I spoke to Altera’s President and CEO, Raghib Hussain, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
Transcribe →Embedded Executive: Helping Arm Get Silicon to Market | Synopsys
May 2000:19:21Tap to summarizeFor its full existence, Arm has primarily been an IP vendor. That has now changed. Arm will be producing silicon products, similar to many of its customers. Getting to that point required an assist from some of its partners, including Synopsys. To understand what an “assist” consists of and what the longer-term outlook looks like, I spoke to Frank Schirrmeister, the Executive Director of Product Management for System Solutions at Synopsys, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
Transcribe →Embedded Executive: Understand Digital Transformation | NTX
May 1300:15:31Tap to summarizeDigital transformation, particularly in industrial equipment, has the ability to change the landscape of design. Really? Do you even know what digital transformation is? It’s a term that Doug Cougle, the SVP of Operations and Business Development at NTX Embedded, used in a recent conversation. He said it with such conviction that I thought, “Maybe this is something I should learn more about.” I did, and I think you should as well, which is why I invited Doug to be a guest on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

May 600:07:29Tap to summarizeRich Nass interviews Julien Battiston with NXP at embedded world 2026 in Nuremberg.
Transcribe →Embedded Executive: Intelligent/Smart Computing Vs. AI | Infineon
May 600:11:52Tap to summarizeEnd devices are shipping with the AI box checked. In other words, OEMs are saying that their products are AI-enabled. But are they really, or is this just marketing spin? The first response is that it depends on how you define AI. The second is that some of the features being implemented really are doing so with AI, but there might be other (simpler?) ways to handle the same functions. To make this clearer, I spoke to Steve Tateosian, the Senior VP and GM for IoT, Consumer, and Industrial MCUs for Infineon Technologies, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
