Premier Farnell, the Development Distributor, announces the launch of the Embedded Hub, a dedicated online resource that provides comprehensive support to embedded design engineers at all the stages of the design journey. The Embedded Hub can be accessed from the website, and is being showcased at the Premier Farnell stand at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany (26-28 February 2019) at Hall 1, Booth 370.

The Embedded Hub takes developers through the design journey in four main knowledge areas: research, design, prototype and test– with each stage providing instant access to resources including product data sheets, application notes, white papers and links to relevant content on the element14 Community. Developers can follow the design journey through these knowledge areas finding support on what they need at each stage. A designer searching for microprocessors or programmable devices will, for example, also be guided to the associated components such as memory, power management, I/O devices or connectors that would be required to complete the design project.

Developers can also access information on:

• Development kits, single-board computers and associated software tools such as compilers, OS, middlewares and EDA/CAD tools, with comprehensive data and support available for easy access.
• The development of embedded designs for specific applications, including the Internet of Things, industrial automation and control, wireless, sensing, power management, motor control, lighting, displays and a marketing-leading complete Artificial Intelligence solution for embedded developers.

“Premier Farnell has the most comprehensive offering of embedded products and tools for the design engineer in the high service distribution market”, says Ankur Tomar Regional Solutions Marketing Manager at Premier Farnell. “We have invested in understanding our customers, and the challenges they face as they follow their design journey, so that we can provide in-depth support, from resources and hardware to software solutions, to accelerate the design process and help them bring their products to market quicker than ever before.”

Premier Farnell, the Development Distributor, is launching an ebook entitled “The Embedded Interviews 2018” featuring the views of several leading experts in the embedded systems sector. The book will be launch at the electronica 2018 Exhibition in Munich (13-16 November) and available to download from http://www.element14.com/ebooks.

“Recent advances in embedded systems design are allowing engineers and makers to use off-the-shelf hardware and software to create complex products faster and more easily than ever before”, says Ralf Buehler, Senior Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, at Premier Farnell and Farnell element14: “Today’s microcontrollers are generally differentiated by on-chip peripherals and software from the vendors, who are no longer just suppliers of silicon, and these interviews with some of the leading engineers in the largest and most innovative embedded processor companies reveal how they build knowledge of the needs of their customers to deliver optimal solutions to the challenges of developing modern embedded products.”

The interviews cover a range of topics, including views about tools, predictions on the future of the embedded market and an overview of embedded products This breadth of coverage supports Premier Farnell’s positioning as the Development Distributor and complements their philosophy of providing their customers with access to the thoughts of some of the most influential people in the industry.

The ebook includes interviews with:

• Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Solutions Development for Premier Farnell
• Jack Ogawa, Senior Marketing Director, IoT Compute & Wireless Business Unit, Cypress Semiconductor
• Geoff Lees, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Microcontrollers at NXP
• Andy Harding, Director, Broad-based Solutions, Renesas
• Øivind Loe, Senior Marketing Manager, IoT Products, at Silicon Labs
• Laurent Vera, Director, EMEA Microcontroller Marketing, STMicroelectronics
• Adrian Fernandez, Microcontroller Development Experience Manager, and Henry Wiechman, Embedded Processor Software Marketing & Strategy, Texas Instruments

“We are delighted that such influential leaders in the embedded world have given their time to this book, and we hope that the embedded community will find their interviews helpful and interesting”, adds Ralf Buehler.
