Phil Lapsley, Co-founder and Vice President of BDTI, presents the “Silicon Slip-ups: The Ten Most Common Errors Processor Suppliers Make (Number Four Will Amaze You!)” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
For over 30 years, BDTI has provided engineering, evaluation and advisory services to processor suppliers and companies that use processors in products. The company has seen a lot, including some classic mistakes. (You know, things like: the chip has an accelerator, but no easy way to program it… or you can only program it using an obscure proprietary framework. Or it has an ISP that only works with one image sensor. Or the development tools promise a lot but fall far short. Or the device drivers don’t work. Or the documentation is deficient.)
Phil Lapsley, BDTI co-founder, presents a fun and fast-paced review of some of the most common processor provider errors, ones seen repeatedly at BDTI. If you’re a processor provider, you’ll learn things you can do to avoid these goofs—and if you’re a processor user, you’ll learn about things to watch for when selecting your next processor!
