Talks & workshops featuring AMD technology

Making E-Ink Go Fast

In this session, Wenting Zhang will go through the design of the Caster project which enables high refresh rate and low latency display on off-the-shelf E-Ink screen panels. Caster is an open-source low-latency electrophoretics display (like E-Ink) controller design, offering support for wide range of screens, flexible screen update control, and multiple dithering options.

Modos: Fast E-Ink in Action

This demo complements Wenting Zhang's talk, 'Making E-Ink Go Fast,' and showcases the Modos Paper Monitor and Development Kit, which will soon be available in Crowd Supply. Experience the high refresh rate and low latency made possible by Caster, an open-source low-latency electrophoretic display controller design. Test the display by writing notes, reading documents, surfing the web, watching videos, and seeing how it performs in everyday applications and other possible use cases.

Unleashing the Power of uSDR: Native Apps, Web Platforms, and Beyond with M.2 SDR

Join us for an insightful workshop exploring the capabilities of ultra-small form factor software-defined radios (uSDRs) and the powerful Web Platform for SDR (WSDR.IO) that streamlines usability.
