With the release of its Wireless Gecko platform, Series 2, Silicon Laboratories is taking the success of their Series 1 general purpose, multi-band, multi-protocol devices and optimizing them for specifical applications by improving processor capability and by moving to an 80 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 with TrustZone technology from the Cortex M4. Silabs is also addressing […]
Less bullet-proof than you think: Gauging security hazards on the IoT
Engineers developing products for the IoT need to plan security measures that grow more sophisticated over time to thwart attackers who get better at wreaking havoc. Lars Lydersen, Silicon Labs Skepticism about the Internet of Things (IoT) security seems to be high. Ironically, for many industries, the key to not being hacked is simply do […]
Everything you thought you knew about IoT security is wrong
Leland Teschler, Executive Editor Listen to the advice being given for securing IoT devices and you are likely to be told that the level of security should be scaled to meet the probable threats. Internet-connected home thermostats, for example, should be designed to prevent compromise by hobbyists and serious hackers. But the usual recommendation is […]

LoRaWAN security design tips, Part 2: Taking the integrated approach
Part 1 of this two-part series on security design discussed using a stand-alone security chip. Here in Part 2, we’ll cover solutions that use an integrated chip and module, combining security and microcontroller (MCU) functions in a single chip. Integrated chip Cypress’ PSoC 6 MCU single-chip, dual-core architecture comprises the Arm Cortex-M4 and the Arm […]
Embedded software speeds development of safety/mission-critical apps
BlackBerry and WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems announced a new embedded software platform that enables the development of safety-certified and mission-critical applications on heterogeneous system-on-chip (SoC) processors. As safety-critical systems within applications such as cars, medical robots and nuclear power plants become more autonomous, the development complexity increases, requiring a combination of both MCU and MPU-based processors. By […]
