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...
What the experts say: During the research for the article "Taming the Dragon - Secure Software from the Start," MicroConsult interviewed embedded experts and received advice and statements on quality and security, which we have summarized in the following points. The most frequent and...
Qualify and inform all project participants. How can developers create secure and high-quality software? First of all, it's essential to understand that security and quality are not accidental – they are the result of targeted measures taken during the development process...
Developers under time pressure: Just as dragons plagued humans and threatened their lives in ancient myths, today technically insecure systems represent a source of danger. The crucial difference: While dragons belong to the realm of fables, technical systems are potential...
In a highly interconnected world, it is advisable to effectively protect applications against cyberattacks. For this, it is crucial that data and communication channels are optimally encrypted. The cryptographic algorithms used in software for this purpose protect devices vulnerable to attacks...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is multiplying the risks of hacking attacks, as every network-connected device is a potential entry point. Peter Siwon, Business Development Manager at MicroConsult, and Michael Schnelle, Consultant at Mixed Mode, describe the situation in this interview...
A holistic approach and a thorough understanding of the details are essential when it comes to creating functionally safe systems. Software integrity can be achieved through structured and targeted methods and techniques. Functional safety is a...
Software and hardware developers appreciate the Safety Management Unit of Aurix microcontrollers as a standalone unit for error handling. New regulations related to functional safety in both industry and the automotive sector are driving the adoption of...
The operational reliability of software-intensive embedded systems is closely linked to protection against unauthorized access or targeted attacks. The necessary measures pose significant challenges for both software and hardware developers. Embedded systems are therefore...
The first part of this series on selecting the right multicore processor focused on determining the computing power requirements and evaluating them for the project. As a second step, we will now consider the requirements regarding functional safety and data security. When considering...
After examining the project requirements regarding functional safety and data security, the final step focuses on the peripheral components. One pin, multiple peripheral functions: The sufficient number of pins is crucial, in addition to the available...
The demands placed on safety-related control systems are constantly increasing. Multicore architectures are best suited to meet these demands and are therefore being offered and used more frequently. Safety standards are defined in different industries according to the potential hazards...
