This project implements a small yet practical AI demo on the NXP MCX-N947: enabling the MCU to recognize “shoes” or “hats”. Leveraging the training process of the eIQ Portal along with the acceleration capabilities of the NPU, the entire model construction, quantization, and execution process is very smooth. The project itself is not complex but … Read more
On July 18, chip giant ARM was acquired by Japan’s SoftBank for £24.3 billion, marking the largest acquisition since Masayoshi Son founded SoftBank. SoftBank’s offer for ARM was £17 per share, a 43% premium over ARM’s closing price the previous week. With such a high premium, SoftBank’s focus is clear: the Internet of Things (IoT), … Read more
Previously, many listeners inquired about the SAF7751 in-car radio that does not require a decoder. Here, I am sharing the disassembly of the modern IX35 in-car radio from a few years ago. This in-car radio is not recommended mainly due to its high price and the fact that it is a single antenna version. Its … Read more

Ford launched its next-generation infotainment system SYNC4 in 2020. The first vehicle equipped with SYNC4 is the all-electric Ford Mustang MACH-E. The all-electric Ford Mustang features a 10.2-inch instrument cluster and a 15.5-inch vertical screen. Similar to the Tesla Model 3, the large screen is also divided into two parts, with a resolution likely at … Read more
TEA2376DT is a digital, configurable dual-phase interleaved power factor correction (PFC) controller launched by NXP. It aims to enhance the efficiency, power density, and reliability of power supply systems by employing designs such as “interleaved parallel” in its circuit structure. Below is a table summarizing its main advantages for quick reference: Design Support and Resources: … Read more
Hello everyone, I am Pi Zi Heng, a serious tech enthusiast. Today, I will introduce the NXP i.MXRT1xxx series MCU’s SD/eMMC card boot. Recently, I supported a case about booting i.MXRT from an SD card on the NXP official community, which reminded me of an article I wrote a year ago titled “Booting i.MXRT600 from … Read more
The Internet of Things (IoT) is indeed a buzzword today, but most engineers have long recognized that adding connectivity to any electronic device can bring numerous significant advantages. Thus, IoT is a very broad term that encompasses various applications, including everything from CCTV to IP-connected security cameras, as well as connected sensors in factories and … Read more
Interconnectivity is the key to the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, due to the fragmented nature of IoT devices and application scenarios, it is challenging to meet the communication needs of all devices and applications in the IoT field with a single communication protocol. This has led to the emergence of … Read more
