Embedded World is just over 2 Weeks away! If you’re like us, you’re busy putting together a plan to navigate the world’s largest trade show dedicated to embedded systems. Having attended for several years, we’ve gathered some key insights to help you make the most of your time at the show.
On January 21, 2025, the announcement of Stargate AI infrastructure was made with much fanfare. There are numerous possible applications—such as healthcare, finance, education, developing new materials, and complex problem solving.
AI will have the ability to access huge amounts of research from institutions worldwide, assimilate it, and apply it to problems at hand. The value of solutions depends on a particular AI’s intrinsic ability to absorb and analyze knowledge and apply it to specific situations. However, there is one more factor that will impact the value of an AI solution: problem-specific, real-time information unique to that situation.

I asked ChatGPT’s image generator the other day to put into an image form, the intricacies of optimizing boot time for an Embedded Linux system and the result was a perfectly unhinged display that captures none of the grinding aspects of what we are about to discuss. Let’s jump in, shall we?
When designing an embedded system with OSD32MP1 System-in-Package (SiP), optimizing Linux boot time can be critical for improving user experience, reducing power consumption, and meeting real-time constraints. As embedded engineers, we often find ourselves needing to strike a balance between feature-richness and performance. A slow boot time can delay critical application processes, impact startup energy efficiency, and create a perception of sluggishness in the system. Fortunately, by understanding the Linux boot sequence and identifying bottlenecks, we can make targeted optimizations that dramatically reduce boot time.
(Read More…)We are excited to announce the availability of the Preliminary Datasheet for the OSD62-PM System-in-Package (SiP). This marks an important step in the journey of bringing the OSD62-PM to market and enabling engineers to leverage it in their designs.
The OSD62-PM System-in-Package integrates the AM62 from Texas Instruments along with up to 2GB of DDR4 Memory and passives in a package that is only 9mm x 14mm (the size of the DDR itself). This design simplifies the development process, reduces system size, and accelerates time to market.
Whether you’re developing industrial solutions, consumer electronics, or IoT devices, the OSD62-PM is designed to make your system integration easier. (Read More…)
When working on embedded systems, crafting a great graphical user interface (GUI) can feel like a big challenge, especially when you’re balancing user experience with hardware limitations. While helping one of our customers recently, we stumbled upon a tool called Embedded Wizard. We’re not experts with it, but we were impressed by how much it simplifies GUI development for the STM32MP1 microprocessor—and by extension, our OSD32MP1 System-in-Package (SiP). It’s a tool worth sharing!
We are thrilled to announce our participation in Embedded World 2025, taking place on March 11, 12, and 13 in Nuremberg, Germany. As the leading event for embedded systems designers, this show is the perfect opportunity to explore how cutting-edge technology like System-in-Package can help you deliver next-generation products faster and connect with industry experts.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is always a whirlwind of innovation, hype, and surprises. After decades in the semiconductor industry and a lifelong technology geek, I’ve developed a sense for identifying both the trends with staying power and those that might just be clever marketing spins. This year, CES didn’t disappoint, and I want to share my takeaways on a few themes that stuck with me—AI and robotics– and spotlight on one of our customers, Fasetto, Inc. (Read More…)
As we step into 2025, there’s a lot to be excited about in the semiconductor world. After a challenging period of slowdown, things are starting to pick up, and innovation is happening at every level. Here’s a look at where the industry is heading and what Octavo Systems has in store for the year ahead.
