The Hitex Arm MCU Conference, held on November 28, 2024, at the picturesque Lighthorne Heath (UK), proved to be an inspiring and informative gathering for embedded systems professionals. Celebrating 20 years of connecting engineers, developers, and tech enthusiasts, this year's event stood out with its robust lineup of presentations, hands-on workshops, and interactive demonstrations—all housed in the superb setting of the British Motor Museum.

Highlights of the Day

The conference opened with engaging presentations from renowned names like Arm, Renesas, Feabhas, LDRA, Imagimob, and Hitex. These sessions not only introduced the latest in Arm Cortex-M technology but also explored future-forward topics like the use of generative AI in embedded systems development. The panel discussion on generative AI was a particular standout, offering a balanced exploration of its potential, challenges, and ethical implications.

The event also featured one of the largest exhibitions to date, where attendees could interact with cutting-edge tools, such as the Keil MDK-6, and explore advancements in the Arm ecosystem.

SYSGO's Demonstrator

The Avionics Graphics Reference Platform demo at SYSGO's booth showed a seamless integration of advanced technologies like PACE VAPS-XT, CoreAVI’s VulkanSC graphics driver, and our PikeOS real-time operating system. Running on the NXP i.MX8QuadMax SoC, the demo achieved impressive graphical performance, a testament to its capabilities for avionics applications.

Equally impressive was the VAPS-XT Automotive Interface demo, which showcased an intuitive, high-performance automotive GUI. This interactive display demonstrated the transformative potential of real-time graphics in the automotive industry, drawing much attention from attendees.

A Day of Learning and Networking

The two preparatory workshops earlier in the week offered invaluable hands-on training, equipping attendees with practical skills for leveraging Arm-based microcontrollers. On the conference day itself, delegates seized the chance to network, share experiences, and pose thoughtful questions, creating an atmosphere rich in collaboration. The British Motor Museum provided an excellent venue, combining cutting-edge innovation with a touch of history, as ticket holders enjoyed complimentary access to its renowned collection.

Thanks to the efforts of guest speakers, exhibitors, and the dedicated team behind the scenes. Above all, the enthusiasm and engagement of the delegates made it truly memorable.
