Embedded Computing Design

Hackers are looking to rise to that top echelon of attacks, achieving that single intrusion they can brag about for years. One of these hacks worth bragging about is to obtain undetected access to code executed on a programmable logic controller (PLC). Why? Because these systems have an abundance of in-memory protections needing to be bypassed. If successful, the integrated code would be in the thick of existing code going undetected by operating systems or security software. Previous work has required physical access and connections to the PLC, or techniques that target engineering workstations and other links to the PLC in order to gain that level of code execution.

We have had a lot of fun on our Road to embedded world ’23 thus far, but when I heard we were off to Hopkins, Minnesota, I was excited. I, personally, have never been to Minnesota, and excited to get some fishing in while we are there. Thinking of fishing, our main goal, other than the one that got away, is to fish around Digi International to take a peak at Digi ConnectCore Cloud and Security services.

Advantech designed and released the compact fanless MIC-733-AO, an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin based AI computing platform operating at temperatures from -10 ~ 60 °C (14 ~ 140 °F) while delivering Video + AI + 5G solutions to the harshest edge. Within the small package are various I/Os consisting of 4 x USB 3.2 (10Gbit/s), 2 x Mini-PCIe, and 2 x M.2. For greater flexibility, the I/O module modification is managed through the Mini-PCIe (4G/Wi-Fi modules) and full PCIe interfaces.

We are flying over Tel Aviv and catching Cybellum getting its technology ready and packed readying for embedded world 2023 with more purpose than ever. Its purpose you ask? To demonstrate Cybellum’s security solutions for automotive, medical, and industrial industries. More specifically. how its platforms are providing the future in automated SBOM generation and management dashboards.
 

In large critical systems, flow computers analyze readings from flow meters monitoring the rate, pressure, or temperature of liquids like oil and gas. While innocuous on their own, protecting these systems is a major concern for energy and utilities providers. Remember the Colonial Pipeline ransomware?

ECD has partnered with our ally, Military Embedded Systems, to retrieve some drones for our expansion of the Road to embedded world ’23. So many invitations to stop, and so little time, we decided to add drone fly-bys to embedded world ’23. Our first fly over is the embedded vision specialists, Gidel, in Santa Clara, California.

Geneva. STMicroelectronics announced the extension of its integrated and power-saving ST-ONE family of USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) digital controllers.

Writing my Exploited articles and traveling to our next stop, my head was brought to Sun Tzu, and his quote from The Art of War, “The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin.” Sounds drastic but let us think about all the data floating around ready for anyone with a means to just snatch it.
