Flash programmer protects firmware images
SEGGER’s Target Encrypted Link Package (TELP) protects intellectual property (IP) from end to end, including the last few inches of the device. IP owners and contract manufacturers alike benefit from having the owners in complete control of the programming process. The contract manufacturer never has access to the cleartext of a firmware image and both […]
Integrated service optimizes OEM’s sleep end devices, shortens time-to-market
Science shows that lack of healthy sleep can result in significant health risks such as depression and heart disease. Furthermore, research suggests that fatigue from insufficient sleep results in a loss of as much as $411 billion per year to the United States economy. At the same time, drowsy driving is a likely factor in […]
