Electronics related to the Internet of Things (IoT), and all its associated sensors, comms, security, and embedded systems.
University researchers have remotely gained control of a home smart speaker using a laser. The hack worked at a range of 110m, and would have been further if the team had had more space. All that was needed was a 5mW laser (little more than pointer-power) and a telescope (actually a telephoto lens). 60mW was sufficient to affect phones and tablets. ...
A 15V gallium nitride (GaN) FET has been added to the eGaN offering from Efficient Power Conversion (EPC). The automotive-qualified EPC2216 is designed for lidar applications in self-driving cars and can also be specified in other time-of-flight (ToF) systems, such as facial recognition, healthcare, warehouse automation, drones, mapping and smart advertising systems. The 26mΩ, eGaN FET has a 28A pulsed ...
Arm announced a new governance partnership for its MBed OS for IoT at TechCon in San Jose today with participation by Analog Devices, Cypress, Nuvoton, NXP, Renesas, Realtek, Samsung, and u-blox An innovation for the governance partnership is the establishment of monthly Product Working Group meetings where Arm and its partners together will prioritize and vote on which new capabilities will ...
UltraSoC has announced hardware-based cybersecurity intellectual property products for SoCs at Arm TechCon in San Jose. According to Cambridge-based UltraSoC, they can be used to detect, block and record cyber-attacks, as well as preventing their propagation, in vehicles, factory robots and consumer devices, amongst other applications. “The first product in the range, the UltraSoC Bus Sentinel, allows SoC designers to control ...
Renesas has launched a family of Arm Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M4 microcontrollers with comprehensive security features, aiming them at IoT applications – particularly end-point and edge devices in industry, building automation, metering, healthcare and home appliances. Called the RA family, they are PSA Certified Level 1 and come in four series: RA2 Series – Cortex-M23 up to 60 MHz RA4 Series ...
Xilinx embraces open source community and introduces the Vitis software platform for hardware and software development. At this year’s Xilinx Developers Forum, the company introduced the Vitis software platform, which tailors the hardware architecture to the software of algorithm code without intervention. President and CEO, Victor Peng, explained that the unified platform was developed to “empower software developers, with the ...
Microchip is offering high security IoT authentication to companies with no prior security knowledge, that are producing as few as 10 units. Authentication, in this case, is proving the identity of a device attempting to connect across a network using asymmetric cryptography. Called ‘Trust Platform’, this is a ‘pre-provisioned’ hardware-based secure key storage system, which also offers solutions for mid and ...
A white paper released today by the Wireless Broadband Alliance(WBA) and the LoRa Alliance titled Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN Deployment Synergies: Expanding Addressable Use Cases For The Internet of Things illustrates new business opportunities that are created when Wi-Fi networks are merged with LoRaWAN networks. Massive IoT applications are less latency sensitive and have relatively low throughput requirements, but they require a ...
Crypto Quantique, the London IoT cyber security startup, has raised an $8 million seed round led by ADV with Entrepreneur First and others. The company claims its technology can deliver a single chip which can generate multiple, unique, unforgeable cryptographic keys on-demand – these cryptographic keys are never stored, are resistant to most side-channel attacks, and can be used independently by multiple applications ...
Farnell is now shipping the Raspberry Pi-powered Avnet SmartEdge Industrial IoT Gateway for use in a range of applications including: building management, vehicle monitoring, industrial automation and predictive maintenance. The gateway, with connected by Avnet’s IoTConnect platform, gathers, analyses and provides actionable, real-time data visualisation-all at a best-in-class price. IoTConnect runs on Microsoft Azure, a set of edge-to-cloud services that ...
