Broader Acceptance of Open Source Strategies – It’s Happening Now

Posted on July 8, 2021

A little over a year ago, I wrote a blog article called “The Tipping Point”. It was focused on the recent announcement of our QuickLogic Open Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative and the reasons why I thought it made a lot of sense for QuickLogic to embrace open source development tools and platforms. At the time […]

QuickLogic and Antmicro Collaborate on Core-V MCU Project

Posted on December 22, 2020

In July of this year, we announced that QuickLogic would become the first programmable logic vendor to fully embrace an open source development environment. Specifically, we worked with Antmicro to create a fully open-source suite of tools for our QuickFeather development kit, which features our EOS S3 FPGA SoC platform with an embedded Arm® processor. […]

How Your Tiny Design Can Help Solve a Giant Problem

Posted on December 1, 2020

Scientists in multiple fields and geographies around the globe have identified climate change as one of the world’s most pressing issues. As the earth warms, we will all be affected, some more so than others. This challenge is so large and widespread that there isn’t a single solution. Instead, we need a lot of bright […]

Google’s TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers and SensiML – More Powerful Together

Posted on September 16, 2020

Today we issued a press release announcing the integration of SensiML’s Analytics Toolkit with Google’s open source machine learning framework, called TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers. Together, SensiML and TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers complement each other by offering powerful neural network algorithm execution along with an established AI tool.
