#Business users of IT strongly condemn #market behaviour of #Broadcom and urge the European Commission to take appropriat action

In the context of the VMware takeover and the change in business #strategy, Broadcom's contempt and brutality towards its #customers are unprecedented in the recent history of the #digital #economy in #Europe.

A #RaspberryPi with #RISC-V is quite unlikely in the near future

source: https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/28/pi_at_10/

As for the future, a Raspberry Pi 5 is inevitable but, in a blow to those hoping for something even more exotic in the usually #Broadcom Arm #SoC, RISC-V isn't on the cards, certainly not in the timeframe for the next generation of Pi. "I can't go out today and license a RISC-V core," says Upton, citing the current state of the ecosystem, "which is even as good as the core of the Raspberry Pi 4."

...

The implosion of the #Nvidia / #Arm deal has also reduced the chances of a RISC-V Pi (in the 2030 timeframe), down from 20 per cent to 10 per cent, according to #Upton.

AppCAD Does Transmission Lines

image

Broadcom and Agilent are perhaps not household words in every household, but among those who work with RF, they are common enough names. An Agilent developer wrote AppCAD to help with common RF design computations and now works for Avago who bought Broadcom. But whoever's branding is on it, you can download the tool from Broadcom or check out the latest beta version. Then watch [IMASI Guy's] video below on how to use part of it.

What can it do? According to the website:

  • S-Parameter Analysis and Plotting
  • Active Circuit Bias Design
  • Cascade Noise and IP3 Analysis
  • Transmission Line Analysis
  • Signals and Systems
  • Complex Math Engineering Calculator

Even if you aren't doing radio design per se , high-speed design often means you need to consider strip lines or transmission through coax or parallel lines. The program makes it easy to work on things like that as long as you are using Microsoft Windows.

When we think of CAD, we think of a program that lets us do some kind of physical design. That's not really what it means in this case. But it is a powerful set of tools that can handle many RF calculations and it is worth checking out.
