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. Enter Richard Kachele, our newest Technical Sales Executive. In just a few short weeks Richard has spent time with everyone on the phyTEAM and in doing so has already seen the true value of our support! Read on to see how PHYTEC Support is different.

Don’t scream…but Q3 floated by like a ghost and just like that, it’s spooky season again. Here lies all of the highlights of this past quarter as we welcome SOMtober with ghoulish delight (and maybe just a little fright).
