Dear readers,
Welcome to the September issue of eenews Embedded. In this issue, we look at three of the hottest
topics in the industry. Our first subject is probably the most important technology in embedded
systems today. The IoT offers a huge potential to improve our health, our homes, our workplaces
and our environment by continuously monitoring the condition of almost anything and everything.
The data gathered by sensors is processed and stored to provide us with short- and long-term
trends that are actionable. It can be processed both locally on the edge, or remotely in the
cloud. In either case, a secure, reliable connection is required. In most cases, this connectivity
will be wireless - our second featured subject this month. There are many different wireless
standards available to developers, and inside we look at which protocol is best for each type of
application.
Our third featured topic this month is also highly relevant to the efficient implementation of
the IoT. FPGAs provide the high performance and throughput that is required to process the
data flowing in from a multitude of sensors in a timely enough fashion that allows action to be
taken in time. They also offer the flexibility to be reconfigured to keep up with new standards or AI techniques,
making them ideal for use in the cloud and at the edge.

Design your own far-field voice interface
This month, XMOS is giving away three VocalFusion Dev Kits
for Amazon AVS (XK-VF3510-L71-AVS) for eeNews Europe’s
readers to evaluate and prototype far-field voice interfaces
using the XVF3510
voice processor with
the Amazon Alexa
Voice Service. Worth
$399, the VocalFusion
development kit
is a far-field 2-mic
solution optimised for
smart TVs and set-top
boxes. It is built around the XMOS XVF3510 voice processor,
running the company’s next generation acoustic algorithms
to support far-field voice capture with close range precision.
Only costing $0.991, the XVF3510 enables manufacturers to
embed a voice interface into mass-market smart TVs and settop

boxes economically. Developed
in the UK and purpose-built for
modern living spaces, XMOS’ next
generation acoustic algorithms can
identify and isolate a voice command
from every other sound in the
room (including any media streaming
through the device itself). They
include a stereo acoustic echo
canceller, an interference canceller
to cancel out unwanted background noise, and an adaptive
delay estimator that dynamically adjusts audio reference signal
latency, ensuring the acoustic echo cancellation algorithms
deliver a smooth, real-time experience.
