Embedded World 2024, the premier electronics show held in Nuremberg from 9-11 April, showcased a plethora of cutting-edge technologies across various sectors including automotive, military, telecoms, industrial, and consumer electronics. The event was a hub of innovation and a platform for industry leaders to unveil their latest advancements.

One of the standout announcements at the event was Congatec's introduction of SMARC modules powered by Intel's Atom x7000RE 'Amston Lake' processors. These modules, specifically designed to meet industrial requirements, boast eight processor cores, making them ideal for demanding applications in the industrial sector.

Another exciting development came from DigiKey and NXP, who launched the MCX MCU Design Contest. Participants are required to utilize NXP's new FRDM development boards, featuring the MCX N and MCX A series MCUs, to submit innovative design ideas and projects for a chance to win a range of prizes.

Supermicro made waves with the announcement of edge computers built around Intel's Atom x7000RE processors. The SYS-E100-14AM and SYS-E102-14AM mini-PCs feature up to eight cores and consume less than 12W, making them energy-efficient solutions for edge computing applications.

Mouser's collaboration with Edge Impulse underscored the focus on intelligence at the edge at Embedded World 2024. By partnering with Edge Impulse, a leading software framework provider for embedded machine learning applications, Mouser is accelerating the integration of intelligence into a wide range of devices.
