Internet of Things

We are surrounded by IoT solutions, from phones to smart meters to smart vehicles that are connected to the internet and constantly share data, writes Zoltan Varnai of Nokia. But while today’s cellular IoT devices are primarily connected via 3G and LTE networks, the development of 5G will broaden the realm of possibilities when it comes to IoT. Take a robotic ...

Wireless Gecko SoC families from Silicon Labs available from Mouser Electronics now include the EFR32BG22 (BG22), EFR32MG22 (MG22) and EFR32FG22 (FG22) SoCs. The new SoCs are highly energy efficient, delivering exceptional battery life for a range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The Silicon Labs EFR32BG22 single-chips SoCs support Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, including Bluetooth Mesh, Bluetooth Low Energy and direction-finding with ...

Silicon Labs has introduced a line of multi-rail power chips (PMICs) for its EFR32 and EFM32 wireless MCU families. The family covers input voltages from from 0.8V to 5.5V, although no single device covers the whole range. Part Vdd output configuration (see data sheet) EFP0109GM20 1.8 – 3.6V 1.7 – 3.3V wired boost EFP0108GM20 0.8 – 1.8V 1.7 – 3.3V single-cell ...

Sourdough? I know not this sourdough whereof people speak, but the idea of an IoT smart bread maker got my attention (it is US only note, however).

OKdo, one of the RS Component family of companies, has introduced its first own-branded single board computer – aimed at those developing secure IoT endpoints. Called ‘E1’, it was developed with NXP and is built around an Arm Cortex-M33-based microcontroller, NXP’s LPC55S69. “In addition to forming the basis for secure IoT endpoints, the E1 is a great platform for evaluating ...

We haven't featured a newly published book for a while, so thanks to Wiley for highlighting this one: Hacking Connected Cars: Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures.

Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Technical Marketing at Farnell, considers the benefits of AI running at the edge of a network.

STMicroelectronics, Renesas, NXP, Microchip and Qualcomm have signed up to offer 32bit MCU development kits featuring Microsoft’s Azure RTOS ThreadX, one of the components of the its Azure RTOS embedded application development suite. “Their MCUs are embedded into billions of devices. This allows embedded developers to access reliable, real-time performance for resource-constrained devices, and seamless integration with the power of Azure IoT to connect, ...

An initiative - between Microsoft, Thales, Telstra and Arduino - implementing scalable security for connected IoT devices, via the GSMA IoT SAFE security specs.

The IoT Security Foundation has been surveying consumer IoT device manufacturers and found a distinct lack of progress around security policies, such as vulnerability reporting. An analysis of the 330 companies involved found that five out of six (86.7%, 286) don’t allow for such reporting, which would see them fall foul of new international standards. And among many of the 13% ...
