Blank Slates Don’t Work

This week’s episode of Fish Fry covers the world of embedded design open standards and modules, a new security IC, and the science behind swearing. Jerry Gipper (Executive Director at VITA) joins us to discuss how VITA evolved from a simple VMEbus users group to the unique collaboration between suppliers and users it is today. We'll discuss the future of VME and VPX technology, and why open standards and modules are critical to the health and vitality of the embedded design ecosystem. Additionally, a recent research study at Keele University in Staffordshire, England contends that swearing can change your perception of pain and actually make you feel better. Finally, we take a look at how physically unclonable functions can help secure your next system design.
