Smaller and More Affordable 64-bit Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ Announced

The Raspberry foundation announced what it says will be its last "classic" Raspberry, introducing the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ with a 1.4GHz clock speed, 5GHz wireless networking and improved thermals of a Raspberry Pi 3B+ in a smaller form factor, and at the smaller price of $25. As with the original Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+, by halving the RAM, and removing the Ethernet controller, this is an affordable platform that is certain to be extremely popular since it can be used to directly replace the Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+.

Speakers and Voice Development - A Conversation with NXP

After reviewing my notes from CES 2018 and the announcements from NXP, I decided it was fitting to share some parts of my interview with Martyn Humphries, vice president and general manager Media IoT and i.MX Applications Processors at NXP (and former Freescale executive). Basically, we discussed the environment that lead NXP to create its i.MX 8M single-chip media application processors, currently the most advanced integrated platform available for audio manufacturers.
