One of our interns, was recently interviewed in a special programme on Malaysia's leading business radio station - BFM. The interview is on an internship programme in Malaysia, which the intern was a participant, and their experiences. You can listen to the interview in the podcast below.
You can find out about the experiences of other interns here and apply for an internship experience unlike any other within Malaysia!
A recent Masters of Science project from TU Delft did some comparison and benchmarking of various open source microprocessors including the AEMB. They compared it against several architectures including the LEON3 (SPARC V8), Plasma (MIPS) and others. They found that in terms of the speed and resources, the AEMB emerged as the optimised option.
Although they finally dropped the use of the AEMB, they presented some very useful results in Chapter 2 of the thesis.
Seems like there are two important pieces of news to report: that the AEMB has made in-roads into China; and that the AEMB is capable of booting uC/OS-II. According to the information provided at a Chinese news website, a Chinese university (Shandong University of Science and Technology) has successfully implemented an SoC system based on the AEMB and boots uC/OS-II.
They published a paper on this in April of this year. The details are mostly in Chinese but some information can be gleaned from the diagrams and references.
