Welcome back to October Electronics for Engineers


I


t’s been another busy month for the team here at Electronics for Engineers. We recently had the privilege of attending the Instrumentation and Electronics awards, which was a great night, congratulations to all those who picked up an award there.


We are of course attending Electronica in November. As it’s my first time, I’m feeling a mix of excitement and I’m also slightly terrified of the amount of steps I’m told I’ll be doing across the 27 football pitch-sized floorplan. If you’re at the show too hopefully we can meet but if we miss you please do get in

touch with Jordan and myself by the emails below. I hope you enjoy the read and I look forward to meeting some of you soon.

Silicon Labs expands AI developer platform to simplify IoT development and scale edge intelligence


Unveiled at the company’s seventh annual Works With Summit, the new offerings expand what developers and their AI agents can create on the Silicon Labs platform, while helping customers develop, deploy and manage intelligence at the edge.

Development complexity cannot scale with IoT As connected products add intelligence and custom hardware, building them grows more complex. Developers navigate specialized SDKs, configuration tools, debugging environments and hardware constraints while using general-purpose AI assistants that do not inherently understand Silicon Labs devices or embedded workflows. Development teams also need better ways to share improvements and manage AI models as intelligence moves from the cloud onto edge devices. If workflows become harder with every new capability, development complexity becomes a barrier to scaling IoT. Simplicity AI SDK has entered public Beta, giving developers and their AI coding assistants structured access to Silicon Labs SDKs, tools, documentation and connected hardware. Rather than requiring a proprietary AI assistant, the SDK works with tools developers may already use. GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Codex are supported in the Beta.
