Hi @everyone, Embedded World is next week and I'll be there. I will be super busy with meetings basically every 30 minutes for three days, and more meetings the Monday before, so I won't have a ton of time to check in to the server.
But, I wanted to ask, what do you want to see from the show? I'll see if I can dive deeper into your requested topics if I am meeting with related suppliers or try to stop by places that aren't on my schedule when time permits
Both are from different vendors. Arty Z7-20 and PYNQ-Z2 has the same ZYNQ XC7Z020-1CLG400C part although. Onboard peripherals, availability and cost will be your to-look factors. (note: Arty Z7 comes in -10 and -20 variants and these two have different SoC variants)
See you at EW. I hope you get some time to visit our booth ADlink Technology. Hall-3 stand 147 we are showcasing our latest products in edge computing.
What's the major difference between a blind via and a buried via in a PCB design. And when it's it good to use it in a design other than using a through hole via @PCB & Analog
But it is a tradeoff between redusing the layers or using blind and burried cause they are expensive to manufacture and most manufacturers don't support blinds and burrieds
Sometimes using microvias reduces the cost of your PCB board. According to Happy Holden (aka, God Father of HDI), before using this you should plan for it in your stackup and throughout your design. It can reduce the total cost and layers of your board if planned appropriate.
Question for the chat: I am applied math/cs major starting a career out in IoT. I really like this field and think it is going to become a passion of mine. I am looking for a mentor to help guide me and just chat about the field, etc. Would anyone be interested in this? I am in Chicago. : )
Software in particular. I also like learning about market relevance/commercialization potential of IoT. I still wouldn't mind learning the basics of the hardware side.
