Ceva, the pioneering licensor of silicon and software IP that enables Smart Edge devices to connect, sense, and infer data more reliably and efficiently, announces that it has extended its Ceva-NeuPro family of Edge AI NPUs with the introduction of Ceva-NeuPro-Nano NPUs.

Ceva will unveil Ceva-Waves Links, a new family of multi-protocol wireless platform IPs at embedded world in Nuremberg (April 9-11).

Nulogy’s relationship with CEVA Logistics is continuing to forge ahead after its flexible cloud-based software was chosen as the new platform for the co-packing of automotive spare parts at its Melbourne facility in Australia.

Milestone underscores CEVA’s central role in the IoT era, enabling wireless connectivity and intelligence in billions of smartphones, consumer electronics, wearables, IoT endpoints and edge AI devices.

This article from Paddy Williams, Director of Product Marketing for CEVA’s Connectivity Business Unit looks at the wearables market and considers how innovation, such as RedCap (reduced capacity), can improve smart watches.

Wi-Fi 6/6E Access Point IP targets the proliferation of Wi-Fi in smart home, enterprise, industrial, automotive, and IoT

Autonomous vehicles will be a great thing – someday. But governments and regulators don’t want to wait until ‘someday’ to improve traffic safety. Gil Abraham, Business Development Director for CEVA’s Vision Business Unit discusses a recently-signed $1tn bill that includes a mandate for automakers to help prevent drunk driving, as well as the technology that such demands call for: driver monitoring systems.

CEVA has announced the general release of its RivieraWaves Bluetooth 5.3 IP. Supporting a multitude of features to further enhance security, robustness and low power operation, the RivieraWaves Bluetooth 5.3 IP is now available as a complete hardware/software solution for new designs and as a software-only upgrade for compatible existing designs.

CEVA has unveiled RivieraWaves UWB, a power-efficient ultra-wideband (UWB) turnkey MAC and PHY platform intellectual property (IP) compliant with the IEEE 802.15.4z standard and in accordance with the FiRa consortium specifications.

CEVA has announced that Sequans Communications, a provider of 5G/4G chips and modules for IoT, has licensed the PentaG 5G New Radio (NR) IP to power its upcoming 5G platform. Sequans will leverage PentaG to ensure its 5G platform will meet the extreme performance, low latency and strict power budget requirements of the IoT industry.

CEVA has announced that its RivieraWaves Bluetooth Dual Mode 5.2 Platform has achieved Bluetooth SIG Qualification. Supporting both the widely adopted Bluetooth Classic Audio and the latest features for the next generation Bluetooth LE Audio, licensees can use the RivieraWaves Bluetooth Dual Mode 5.2 Platform for their next-generation designs for TWS earbuds, smart watches, smart speakers and other Bluetooth-enabled audio products.

Based on its recent analysis of the global sensor fusion for the consumer electronics market, Frost & Sullivan has recognised CEVA, with the 2021 Global Company of the Year Award. CEVA's MotionEngine software solution integrates dynamic sensor calibration, sensor fusion and a deep portfolio of application-specific algorithms to uniquely enable high quality, contextually aware devices in diverse industries.

We’re still waiting for full autonomy in cars, but now realise that’s much further out than we originally thought. The automotive value chain was already ahead of us and is now well into plan B - a very active push from SAE level 2, conventional ADAS, to something now being called L2+. L2+ is a little short of L3 in that redundancy continues to depend on the human driver and will require strong driver monitoring systems.

CEVA has unveiled the Hillcrest Labs MotionEngine Scout, a highly accurate dead reckoning software solution for intelligent navigation systems in indoor robots including robot cleaners and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) used in industrial or commercial settings.

CEVA has announced that it is expanding its long-standing partnership with LG Electronics (LG) for its Freespace MotionEngine Smart TV software technology to include 3rd party TV brands running LG’s webOS smart TV platform.

CEVA has announced that Nations Technologies has licensed and deployed CEVA’s RivieraWaves Bluetooth low energy IP in its NZ8801 Bluetooth 5 IC designed to provide secure connectivity in a range of power sensitive devices, including wearables, PC peripherals, secure payment cards and the smart home. NZ8801 has already achieved significant success in the market, shipping in tens of millions devices to date.

CEVA and Retune DSP have announced that the Retune VoiceSpot Wake Word Engine is now optimised and available for CEVA’s audio/voice DSPs, including the CEVA-BX, CEVA-X, and CEVA-TeakLite families. CEVA and Retune DSP are already engaged with a lead customer, deploying this collaborative solution in an upcoming smart home device.

CEVA has announced an open licensing agreement with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to accelerate technology innovation for DARPA programs. The partnership, as part of the DARPA Toolbox initiative, establishes an access framework under which DARPA organisations can access all of CEVA’s commercially available IPs, tools and support to expedite their programs.

CEVA has announced that its RivieraWaves Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) 5.2 Platform has achieved Bluetooth SIG Qualification. As the first IP company to receive Bluetooth LE 5.2 qualification, CEVA enables its licensees to reduce their product development risk and so benefit with expedited time-to-market and end-product qualification process.

CEVA has announced that Renesas has licensed a new, high-performance DSP to power its next-generation automotive System-on-Chip (SoC).
