Data security as a key criterion for modern mobile systems
The latest generations of multicore microcontrollers can meet the highest demands for networked systems and data security. However, developers need the right knowledge, from defining requirements to implementation, to effectively protect data in this environment. Even...
More design flexibility through Secure Exception Priority Boosting
The Armv8-M architecture brings fundamental security to Cortex-M devices, thus enabling greater protection for IoT systems. But how does the “Secure Exception Priority Boosting” feature perform in practice? Security problems in the Internet of Things (IoT) often stem from insufficient protection for...
More important than ever: Think in systems and architectures
Looking at the present and the future clearly shows that the embedded world and the IT world are intertwined and will become increasingly so. Embedded systems are becoming part of the Internet of Things, which is evolving into the Internet of Everything and is a breeding ground...
Multicore Microcontrollers Part 1: How Project Resources Determine the Right Selection of the Multicore Microcontroller
The demands placed on microcontroller-controlled systems are increasing year by year. They are expected to offer greater convenience, expanded functionality, and enhanced security for the user. The processing cores that handle these expanded and new tasks require ever more computing power. These...
