#4 - TSN Switch, New Memory Architecture, Lound Sounders, and more...

Semiconductor and electronics news looking at a PCB tools to simplify the move from prototyping to manufacturing, chatGPT support for customizing the FPGA in Moku test and measurement equipment, a Rust version of sudo and su, smart shunts for industrial energy consumption monitoring, and much, much more!

This episode is sponsored by Voltera. Founded in 2013, Voltera focuses on additive electronics manufacturing with their V-One multi-functional PCB printer. Since its launch, the V-One is now deployed in over eighty countries, supporting developers and educators with their rapid prototyping needs. Fitting easily onto your desktop, the V-One can print and assemble a simple PCB within an hour, allowing you to quickly iterate your design several times in a single day. The V-One and its accessories are available through the Elektor store here: www.elektor.com/voltera.

The episode also includes an in-depth interview with DownStream Technologies https://www.downstreamtech.com/

In this episode, Stuart Cording, The Electronics Reporter, looks at:

[00:00] Intro to the show!

[11:37] While most engineers have developed printed circuit boards for prototyping purposes, there remains quite a gap before such designs can be considered ready for mass production. DownStream Technologies help teams with this challenge, providing software and services for optimizing and automating the Printed Circuit Board release process. Stuart Cording, the Electronics Reporter, speaks to Rick Almeida, one of the DownStream co-founders, to get an overview of DownStream and their products. - https://www.downstreamtech.com/
