A new Brains & Machines podcast (and transcript) is out. The latest episode’s guest was Dylan Muir from SynSense:
I merely skimmed the transcript - encouragingly, BrainChip gets mentioned a few times during the post-interview discussion, and once again, Ralph Etienne-Cummings makes a reference to our CTO’s earlier robotic research and to the company he founded in 1999, Iguana Robotics.
Here is a transcript excerpt that deals with SynSense’s approach to commercialisation - the original interview was recorded in mid-2023, followed by a brief interview update in March 2024, after SynSense had acquired iniVation.
During the post-interview discussion, not everyone agreed with Dylan Muir’s reasoning that on-chip learning wouldn’t be necessary any time soon:
Which begs the question: Are the folks at SynSense really convinced that on-chip learning isn’t a big deal or is it possibly a case of sour grapes?
Surprisingly, it never gets mentioned that SynSense became a de-facto Chinese company in 2020 (by moving its headquarters from Switzerland to China) and what kind of problems this brings about with regard to commercialisation.

Do we know why Rob left BRN at all or is this still unknown ?.

I think he wanted to install Japanese toilets in all their offices with akida inside but Sean said no! Very dramatic situation

Oh wow, how about this from Intel:

BRN has canvassed the funds.
They will vote no spill. They likely will vote YES to remuneration as a strike may lead to an SP drop which sees a fall on the value of funds under their control .
Also those controlling voting have big pay jobs and probably have some empathy for their peers at BRN.
IMO there is no chance of a spill.

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!

As we all know, we've been waiting a loooong time for the launch of Renesas new MCU with AKIDA + 22nm CMOS process with the integration of a software define radio and Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy.
Now, I don't wish to FREAK anyone out, but I just noticed this Renesas DA14535 Ultra Low Power Bluetooth 5.3 SoC.
Maybe @Diogenese could take a peek for us to see whether this is anything to get excited about?
Could AKIDA be the "SWD interface" which I've circled below?
Here's a link to the data sheet which was uploaded on 1 April 2024.

Yes it’s a good sign, I thought Rob was a good spokes person for BRN
Perhaps Celus are using Akida and needed someone with intimate knowledge of what’s possible. Pure speculation. Partnerships have always been the success mantra. Just ask Melania Trump.

It is a possibility that those leaving will go into products that involve the IP basicly BRN is IP yeah they can build a chip with the IP and Tenns but the reality is it's a processor for the component so all these are possible. If they believed it to be superior to othere they will build out to a product.

That's not really an auspicious date to publish anything. Also you should get a refund for the $49.95 option. Mine has the complementary aluminium foil insert.
SwD = Software Defined?
Cortex MO+ is all thumbs.
6 Arm Cortex-M0+ 6.1 Introduction
The Arm Cortex-M0+ processor is a 32-bit Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor with a von Neumann architecture (single bus interface).
It uses an instruction set called Thumb, which was first supported in the ARM7TDMI processor, but it also uses several newer instructions from the Armv6 architecture and a few instructions from the Thumb-2 technology.
Thumb-2 technology extends the previous Thumb instruction set to allow all operations to be carried out in one CPU state. The instruction set in Thumb-2 includes both 16-bit and 32-bit instructions; most instructions generated by the C compiler use the 16-bit instructions, and the 32-bit instructions are used when the 16-bit version cannot carry out the required operations. This results in high code density and avoids the overhead of switching between two instruction sets. In total, the Cortex-M0+ processor supports only 56 base instructions, although some instructions can have more than one form. Although the instruction set is small, the Cortex-M0+ processor is highly capable because the Thumb instruction set is highly optimized. Academically, the Cortex-M0+ processor is classified as load-store architecture, as it has separate instructions for reading and writing to memory, and instructions for arithmetic or logical operations that use registers. It has a two-stage pipeline (fetch+predecode and decode+execute) as opposed to its predecessor (Cortex-M0) that has a three-stage pipeline (fetch, decode, and execute). Figure 20 shows a simplified block diagram of the Cortex-M0+.

PS: Unfortunately I can't ask for a refund because the "not going to hell" was an optional extra that I wasn't prepared to pay for.
