As the need for sensing capabilities becomes more prevalent in modern applications focused on machine health and other Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, so does the need for simpler interfaces with fewer I/Os and smaller device footprints. The density of devices connected to a single microprocessor or FPGA is continuing to increase. This is happening while application space, and as a result, the number of I/O pins can become constrained.

The module, which is based on Nordic Semiconductor?s nRF5340 Bluetooth low energy chipset, is reportedly the first to host the NORA-B1, an Arm Cortex-M33 dual core MCU.

We?re all aware of hackers who attempt to gain access to private information on the internet, but most of us don?t think twice about just how dangerous a cybersecurity threat can be in the context of a vehicle. Many of the possibilities are outlined in the popular 2015 ?Jeep Hack? article on Wired. Still a consumer ? and industry ? knowledge gap still exists between cybersecurity for your PC and cybersecurity for your SUV.
