As we move further into 2026, we see increasing opportunities at the intersection of hardware, software, and intelligent systems. Our work in embedded design, FPGA, and Edge AI continues to evolve—enabling smarter, faster, and more efficient solutions closer to where data is generated.
At the same time, we’re growing our team with a long-term perspective. After the summer, five new developers will join EmLogic directly from their studies—an investment in both people and the future of our industry, and a conscious step slightly against the current in a market often focused on senior-only hiring.
This is where we thrive: turning complexity into reliable systems, and ideas into real-world technology.
We wish all our customers, partners, and colleagues a great summer—and look forward to continuing the journey together in the months ahead ☀️

FPGA Conference Europe
The UVM for VHDL – only simpler
UVVM is currently being used by 27% of all FPGA designers worldwide - and increasing. This is due to the improvement UVVM yields in both FPGA quality and development time.
Espen Tallaksen will give multiple talks in Munich next week.
Working with UI is challenging. Companies spend a lot of money on teams dedicated solely to UI work for their product. On PCs and handheld consumer products, graphics frameworks have matured significantly and there are several to choose from depending on what your product needs.
AI sketch recognition on the edge
Open-Source Sketch Recognition on a Microcontroller: From Brevitas to Cortex-M7
Although standard MNIST (handwritten digits) would have been an option, we wanted to do something a bit more fun, and Google’s “Quick, Draw!” came to mind. This is a massive crowd-sourced dataset featuring 50 million doodles across 345 categories. While it originated as an online neural network guessing game, it serves as an excellent foundation for machine learning research—and, we would argue, a much more fun alternative to MNIST!
We all know the horror story: a parser thread receives a malformed message, triggers some dormant bug that overflows a buffer, and triggers a memory fault.
In a typical Zephyr setup, the whole system goes down. You get a log dump if you’re lucky, a hard fault with no context if you’re not, and then you start debugging blind.
New Meetup!
Edge AI Meetup - Real-Time Audio and TinyML
On Friday 19 June, we welcomed the Edge AI Norway community to the EmLogic office in Asker for a morning dedicated to small, specialized AI models running directly on edge hardware. For three hours, 14 participants representing 11 companies gathered for talks, demos, technical discussion, and lunch.
TechSeed joined the conversations at Almedalen 2026 – one of the Nordics’ most important arenas for innovation, business, and policy. It’s where ideas are challenged, partnerships are formed, and technology meets sustainability in real-world discussions.
