STM32MP21 Arm Cortex-A35/M33 MPU targets cost-effective applications in smart factories, homes, and cities

STM32MP215F-DK Discovery Kit

STMicroelectronics’ STM32MP21 microprocessor family combines a 1.5 GHz 64-bit Arm Cortex-A35 application core with a 300 MHz 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 core for real-time processing. It is designed for “cost-aware” edge applications in smart factories, smart homes, and smart cities. The new STM32MP21 is a cost-optimized version of the earlier STM32MP23 and STM32MP25 that does without an AI accelerator (yes, those still exist!), GPU, H.264 decoder and encoder, or PCIe Gen2 / USB 3.0 interfaces. It still offers a MIPI CSI-2 camera interface, two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), and strong security targeting SESIP Level 3 and PCI pre-certification. STM32MP21 specifications: CPU – Arm Cortex-A35 core running at up to 1.2 or 1.5 GHz with 128KB L2 cache Real-time MCU – Arm Cortex-M33 core with FPU/MPU running at up to 300 MHz GPU – None VPU – None AI accelerator – None Memory 456 KB SRAM 256KB AXI SYSRAM […]

Up to 16-core AMD EPYC Embedded 2005 Series Zen 5 processors support up 28 PCIe Gen5 lanes, offer 10-year availability

AMD EPYC Embedded 2005 Series Processors

After the release of the high-performance EPYC Embedded 9005, AMD has now introduced the EPYC Embedded 2005 Series, a mid-range processor family also based on the “Zen 5” architecture and designed for space-constrained networking, storage, and industrial edge applications. The new SoCs feature up to 16 cores (32 threads) with 64 MB L3 cache, support dual-channel DDR5-5600 memory with ECC, and offer 28 lanes of PCIe Gen5 connectivity. It also supports advanced RAS capabilities, BMC, PCIe Hot Plug, multi-SPI ROM, and AMD Infinity Guard security. The processors come in a compact 40 x 40mm BGA package, which, according to AMD, is up to 2.4x smaller than competing enterprise solutions (Intel Xeon 6500P-B). Yet, they are designed for 24/7 operation, with up to 10 years of availability with full open-source software support. These features make it suitable for networking switches/routers, cold storage systems, aerospace, robotics, and other high-reliability embedded infrastructure. EPYC […]
