The role of sensors in IoT networks, Part 2: Smart sensors and how to choose
Part 2 of this series continues with answering common questions about how sensors work in IoT system development. What are smart sensors? Basic sensors can detect changes in their environments and convert measured data into a digital format for the external microcontroller to process. The “smart” is in the microcontroller. Combining the microcontrollers in a […]
Package boosts security of STM32 code
STMicroelectronics has launched STM32Trust to guide designers’ efforts to build strong cyber-protection into new IoT devices leveraging industry best-practices. STM32Trust combines knowledge, design tools, and ready-to-use original ST software. These help designers take advantage of features built into STM32 microcontrollers to ensure trust among devices, prevent unauthorized access, and resist side-channel attacks. All this averts data theft and […]
