Why OEMs Shouldn’t Bet on Consumer Displays for Industrial HMIs Consumer tablets may seem like a shortcut for HMI design, but risks in lifecycle, connectivity, and security can derail OEM projects. Industrial HMIs on SOM platforms deliver the reliability and support production demands. When you’re building an industrial Human Machine Interface (HMI), the temptation to...

What is a Cryptographic Module? In our hyper-connected world, cryptographic modules are the hidden workhorses keeping our data safe. Consider that by 2025, an estimated 463 exabytes of data will be created globally every day. From smart home gadgets and industrial sensors to life-saving medical devices, billions of endpoints generate and transmit sensitive information. Ensuring the confidentiality and...

Zephyr RTOS vs FreeRTOS: A Comprehensive Comparison for IoT and Embedded Systems Modern embedded and IoT devices often need an efficient Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to juggle multiple tasks reliably. Ezurio's System on Modules and Bluetooth Embedded Modules feature embedded RTOS support, and that includes Zephyr RTOS and FreeRTOS. Zephyr RTOS and FreeRTOS are two of the most popular open-source RTOS options...

Open Standard Modules (OSM): Fueling the Future of Wireless Embedded Systems Embedded engineers today face a dilemma: how to add more computing and connectivity into ever-smaller devices without reinventing the wheel each time. Open Standard Modules (OSM) have emerged as a compelling answer. OSM is a new open specification for tiny, solderable computer modules that...

Wi-Fi 6 vs Wi-Fi 6E: A Comprehensive Comparison Wi-Fi networking has come a long way, and two of the latest buzzwords in wireless connectivity are Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E. Both promise faster speeds and better performance than previous Wi-Fi generations, but what exactly sets them apart? In this extensive guide, we’ll dive deep into...

What is an ARM System-on-Module? An ARM System-on-Module (SoM) is a compact, ready-to-use computing module built around an ARM-based processor. In essence, it’s a small circuit board that contains the “brains” of an embedded system – including the microprocessor (typically an ARM System-on-Chip, or SoC), memory, power management, and often additional peripherals – all in one integrated...
