Embedded Computing Design

You need to be sure that the software you send to the plant is exactly the same as the software that gets installed into the manufactured products. No exceptions.

A simple definition of a secure boot is that it's a mechanism for ensuring the integrity of firmware and software running on a computing platform.

As such, I ran through a litany of issues with Rory, getting his opinion on everything from NRE to open source.

Why do less than four percent of IoT devices implement the security measures necessary to protect an organization's IP and customers from local or network-borne threats?

Sequitur Labs has released the next generation of its EmSPARK product, version 2.0, which offers a comprehensive approach to embedded system security, specifically targeting Edge-based IoT devices.

In this series of five webcasts, we'll run through the five key security-related problems that will impact your design, and more importantly, how to solve them.

Secure contexts are a must in industrial platforms, especially if it's a "connected" platform.

You've spent months or even years creating IP that belongs to your company and/or its customers. In many cases, that IP is what makes you stand out from your competitors.

5G requires more radios. Playing devil's advocate, does that mean there are many more points of failure?

According to industry analysts, we could see one trillion IoT connections by the year 2035, with the transfer of more than 2 Zbytes of data just from consumer devices alone.

Wiser Systems specializes in tracing, so I wondered whether its technology could be used to track people.

Who would have thought that someone would want to hack an automobile? About five years ago, someone hacked into a Jeep, and that forever changed the outlook on automotive security.

My guest on this week's Embedded Executives podcast is Jacques Issa, a Senior Vice President at Virtium.

Different vendors are doing different things to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of them are doing their part to help get us through this awful time. One of those is SiFive.

Intermolecular, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Germany-based Merck KGaA, recently announced an atomic layer deposition (ALD) GeAsSeTe OTS for 3D vertical memory arrays.

If you have plans to design in a Qualcomm 9205 LTE modem, you may want to take notice of Winbond Electronics' latest flash memory device, the QspiNAND.

The LoRa Alliance is a fairly dynamic organization, as projects appear to be progressing nicely. The organization began with just a handful of vendors and has now grown to more than 500.

In this Embedded Executives podcast, Rich speaks with Kristin Russell, President of Global Services at Arrow Electronics.

In the never-ending pursuit of making consumer devices easier to use, while making them easier and more cost-effective to manufacture, Cirrus Logic is expanding its haptics and sensing portfolio.

I discussed with Jean Labrosse, who is the former Founder and CEO of Micrium, a guy who knows more than most about dealing with open source.
