the award-nominated PlayRenfe project managed by Telefonica to enable ‘TV anywhere’ on the high- speed train network of Spain’s national railway operator, Renfe. The new WLAN and Wi-Fi service, a cutting- edge project which is also shortlisted for the IBC 2017 award, will provide 19


switches are being supplied by Belden’s local partner, Colway, over the next four years. They include over 1100 units of its highly reputable OS30 Octopus switches. With rolling stock from three manufacturers, Belden had to tailor the system to match the different trains. “Being involved in this first-of-its-


kind project in Spain is very exciting,” said Richard Weatherburn, vertical marketing manager for transportation at Belden. “Each train has unique requirements. Also, while the end- application is a broadcast system, it is an industrial implementation so the requirements for safety, robustness and a long operating life were very high.” www.belden.com

NEW VERSION AVAILABLE FOR IAR EMBEDDED WORKBENCH n, s.


IAR Systems has announced a new version of its IAR Embedded Workbench for RL78, the renowned C/C++ compiler and debugger toolchain for Renesas RL78 Family of microcontrollers (MCUs). Version 3.10 adds new debugging capabilities and an updated integrated development environment (IDE) with enhancements to window management and docking, customisable toolbars, and new tutorials. All these new additions improve workflows and accelerate development for users of the toolchain.


The IAR Embedded Workbench for e


RL78 provides a complete IDE including the IAR C/C++ Compiler, an assembler, a linker and the C-SPY Debugger. The debugging capabilities


of the C-SPY Debugger are respected in the embedded industry for high performance, reliability and efficiency. The new version adds several new features to make debuggingmuch more efficient, including new filtering functionality, drag-and- drop from the source code windows, detailed register tool-tip information, and improved handling of user- defined registers groups. It also adds support for the advanced on-chip debugging E2 emulator from Renesas.


In addition, developers working


with RL78 MCUs with built-in analogue front-end for sensor applications can now take advantage of Smart Analogue support in IAR Embedded Workbench. www.iar.com


AMAZON ALEXA VOICE SERVICE DEV KIT


XMOS has announced its VocalFusion 4-Mic Dev Kit for Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS). This kit is ideal for integrating Alexa into smart panels, kitchen appliances, and other commercial and industrial electronics. The kit features a compact


four-microphone linear 100mm array. The captured voice signals are crystal clear even in noisy environments, enabling commands to be accurately captured from across the room


for processing by the Alexa cloud-based speech recognition system. The VocalFusion 4-Mic Dev


Kit for Amazon AVS is one of the first development kits to feature a reference client built using the recently released AVS Device SDK. The AVS Device SDK is designed to further simplify creating Alexa-enabled products, thereby helping commercial device makers get AVS products to market faster. www.digikey.com/xmos-avs
