This Mother’s Day, we’re shining a light on the incredible women at PHYTEC who not only keep things running at home, but also help power innovation, organization, and collaboration across our company. From engineering to marketing, supply chain to accounting, and admin support to leadership roles, these moms bring talent, dedication, and heart to everything they do.

As the season changes and the first quarter comes to a close, we’re embracing the energy of new beginnings. Just like spring brings fresh growth, PHYTEC is rolling out new products, exciting accessories, and innovative partnerships to help you build with confidence. Embedded World was a whirlwind of innovation and collaboration, and we’re excited to carry that momentum forward, plus, with our graphics series now complete, you can explore even more possibilities on PHYTEC platforms. Let’s take a look at what’s been growing!

As the holiday season wraps us in its warmth, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an exciting quarter filled with Jingle Bells of progress and collaboration. From the launch of new software for our SOM platforms to unveiling fresh hardware manuals and exciting demos, we’ve been busy making sure everything is Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree for your next big project.

It’s the beginning of October, and there’s a crispness to the evening air that wasn’t there before. The sun sets slightly earlier, casting a golden hue over the day’s final moments, and the first leaves have begun to drift lazily to the ground. This subtle shift marks not only the end of summer but also the beginning of a new season—and with it, a new quarter. We find ourselves entering that time of year when spooky movies start to fill our screens, bringing thrills and chills to cozy nights. Just like the twists and turns of a good horror film, this quarter promises surprises, fresh opportunities, and a few challenges lurking around the corner. We’re ready to embrace them with the same excitement that comes with watching a classic scary movie—eyes wide open, ready for what’s next! What’s your favorite scary movie?

Summer is finally in full swing in the Pacific Northwest and that can only mean one thing…spending time in the great outdoors! If there’s one thing you can look forward to in the summers here it’s perfect weather for hiking, backpacking, camping and any other outdoor activity you can imagine. Q2 was full of adventures and travel, getting resourceful to build new demos for trade shows, and collaborating with each other on many different projects. Grab a seat around the fire, a stick, some graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows – you’re gonna want to get comfortable for this highlights reel.

Contrary to what Mr. Groundhog said, Spring isn’t quite in full force yet in the PNW. Occasionally the sun rears its golden head for a weekend of warmth that makes us all hopeful for longer days ahead but until then we wait under the grey skies and its gentle showers, knowing that every drop is fuel for a powerful new beginning. Quarter 1 was spent on growing the AM6 series of SOMs with new BSP releases and nightly CICD testing. Check out what we have been up to, and what we have coming up in this new Spring season!

It’s the most wonderful time of year and the end of Q4 2023! Did that go by fast for you too? It wasn’t until our Hardware development team started playing holiday music (traditionally done the last week before the holiday) that I realized 2023 was coming to a close. What is your favorite holiday song? My personal favorite is O Christmas Tree. The German version of O Christmas Tree is of course, O Tannenbaum. Don’t you think it is only right to dub the official Christmas song of PHYTEC (headquartered in Germany if you didn’t know), O TannenSOM?

It’s a well known running gag/measure of engineering prowess to see if you can get Doom running on a myriad of questionably appropriate devices. See how PHYTEC got FreeDoom running on our phyCORE-AM62x development kit.

In this article we explore the critical role of thermal management in enhancing the longevity and reliability of embedded systems.

At PHYTEC we’ve always prided ourselves on our excellent customer service, but every now and then someone new comes along and offers a fresh perspective.
