Nuvoton Gerda HMI Controller Gets Qt for MCUs Support

KYOTO – November 05, 2026 -- Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (NTCJ) and Qt Group (Nasdaq Helsinki: QTCOM) have added Nuvoton's Gerda HMI controller platform as target hardware for Qt for MCUs, enabling premium graphical interfaces without external memory.

Built-in RAM removes external memory from the bill of materials

Gerda's large built-in RAM and its display, connectivity and control interfaces allow standalone HMI systems with no external memory. Qt for MCUs' graphics optimization and Gerda's texture compression shrink the GUI memory footprint. The companies say the result is a lower component count and lower total system cost, which matters most in high-volume products.

Target applications range from automotive and motorcycle instrument clusters and head-up displays to home appliance display panels. The companies demonstrated a motorcycle instrument cluster and a washing machine interface.

MegazoneSoft Earns Two Google Cloud Advanced Competencies at Once

SEOUL – November 05, 2026 -- MegazoneSoft, an affiliate of MegazoneCloud, has earned two Google Cloud Advanced Competencies at once, in Gemini Enterprise and Artificial Intelligence. The two awards follow the Manufacturing & Industrial Advanced Competency it secured in September.

Advanced tier demands higher proof of performance and customer success

Google Cloud's framework has two levels, Competency and Advanced Competency. Both are judged on the same criteria, but the Advanced level sets higher thresholds for proven performance, technical expertise and demonstrated customer success. Google Cloud describes Advanced Competency as the highest level of competency recognition in its Partner Network.

MegazoneSoft met the requirements by expanding its specialized engineering and consulting teams. It also runs a dedicated organization focused on enterprise generative AI solutions built around Gemini Enterprise.

Securly Extends AI Block to Google AI Overview in K-12 Filter

CHARLOTTE – – November 05, 2026 -- Securly's AI Transparency tool gave 1,806 districts in 39 states visibility into more than 6.2 million student AI conversations between December 2025 and October 2026, as the K-12 safety vendor widened its controls over Google's AI-generated search content.

Securly's "Restrict AI Mode" setting in Securly Filter, which previously blocked only Google's AI Mode, now also blocks AI Overview. With the setting on, students see standard Google search results without AI-written summaries.

AI Overview closed a gap for districts that had already blocked AI tools

Google shows AI-generated content in two places. AI Mode is a chat-style search experience. AI Overview is a summary that appears automatically at the top of results on the All tab. Because AI Overview appears on ordinary searches, students in schools that block AI tools could still see AI-generated answers.
