In this panel discussion of experts from Avnet, AMD, and Samtec we will discuss Design Trends for Industrial Embedded Computing using the new ZUBoard 1CG development board from Avnet as an example.

Key topics to be discussed are:

  • Design trends (e.g. intelligence at the edge)
  • Devices and tools that enable development
  • The ZUBoard 1CG and how it can be a great starting point for industrial embedded computing
  • What makes the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ 1CG MPSoC device ideal for embedded computing
  • Expanding capabilities of a development board
    • High speed connectivity
    • Diversity of connectivity
    • Flexibility

Camron Chilton, Technical Marketing Engineer at Avnet Tom Curran, Senior Technical Marketing Engineer at Avnet
I've worked as a technical sales engineer throughout my career which started at Avnet 20yrs ago helping companies with their product design needs. I now work in Avnet's Advanced Applications Group supporting the development of new products like the ZUBoard based on AMD FPGA and SoC devices and other Avnet supplier partners. I enjoy the challenges of providing solutions for a multitude of applications using the latest technologies. I got sucked into the world of FPGAs and programmable logic early in my career working for a company that developed embedded controls for bottle labeling machines, and I’ve never looked back.  I now work in Avnet's Products & Emerging Technologies group, mostly working on Linux and software applications for our Zed and UltraZed family of Zynq and Zynq MPSoC SOMs and SBCs like the Ultra96-V2.
