28 February 2022
News
Mouser Electronics announced the launch of the 2022 series of its award-winning ‘Empowering Innovation Together’ (EIT) programme. This year’s series consists of six instalments that each spotlight a leading-edge technology playing a key role in transforming major industries. The 2022 series offers a wide variety of timely and insightful resources like podcast episodes, videos, articles, blogs and infographics that focus on technology trends such as private 5G networks, autonomous mobile robots and more.   
The first instalment of the 2022 series zeroes in on the RISC-V open-source instruction set architecture (ISA), including a new episode of The Tech Between Us podcast. The podcast episode is available on the Mouser website, Alexa, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Pandora and Spotify. 
In the podcast’s debut episode, Raymond Yin, Mouser’s director of technical content, is joined by Mark Himelstein, CTO of RISC-V International, for a lively discussion about the origin of the open-source ISA. The two also explore new developments in the RISC-V specification, and predictions about what’s in store for the future of the expanding ecosystem. 
After RISC-V, the EIT programme will explore immersive technologies, designing for security, driver monitoring systems, private 5G networks and autonomous mobile robots. Each theme will highlight various new product developments and uncover the technical developments needed to keep pace with innovation in the marketplace. 
The RISC-V content is sponsored by Mouser’s manufacturer partners, IAR Systems, Microchip Technology, Microsemi, Seeed Studio, Segger Microcontroller, SiFive and Terasic Technologies.
