Programmierbare Logik & Systeme is offering debug and trace for NXP’s S32N55 16 core software-defined vehicle processor, announced yesterday. It is included in the 2024 version of UDE, the company’s universal debug engine. With UDE “the Cortex-R52 main cores and the Cortex-M7 auxiliary cores are all visible and can be controlled from one common debugger user interface”, according to PLS. ...

MikroElektronika, the development hardware company behind Click boards and mikroBUS, has put suites of its high-end development boards on-line to offer them as rentable remote hardware – known as ‘hardware as a service’, and in this case called ‘Planet Debug’. This is not simulated hardware, but real hardware on which user code can be developed and debugged, controlled remotely through Mikroe’s Necto Studio IDE ...

German national standards body DIN (Deutsche Institut für Normung) has defined exactly what ‘open-source hardware’ is, and what it isn’t. This should mean an end to ‘open-washing’ – marketing partially or completely closed-source hardware as ‘open-source’. The definition is laid down in document ‘DIN Spec 3105 Open source hardware’, which has been written in English. Its creation builds on ‘Open ...

NXP and drone software company Auterion are to co-develop high-reliability integrated hardware and software for the commercial unmanned aerial systems industry. “With the development of regulations and the increased number of autonomous systems in the field, the requirement for components and software that are certifiable and the ability to deploy intelligence on the edge is becoming more and more important,” ...

UltraSoC and Agile Analog have teamed-up to deliver hardware-based security against ‘analogue interference’ attacks such as power supply or clock signal tampering. The aim is to combining UltraSoC’s embedded on-chip analytics with Agile Analog’s on-chip analogue monitoring IP. As well as voltage and clock glitching, these side-channel attacks can also include deliberate brown-outs and temperature variations, all to gain access to ...

STMicroelectronics creates four motor driver development PCBs in the Click board format.

US researchers have used memristors to create a copy-proof hardware security block for integrated circuits. The particular block is a ‘physically uncloneable function’ (PU) – a block with logic inputs and outputs that can be mass produced, with each individual item always booting-up with the same numerical characteristics, that are statistically unrelated to the numerical characteristics of any other individual. ...

ARM has bought the five year-old Israeli security firm Sansa which has a hardware solution for mobile connectivity. The price is thought to be somewhere around $90 million. Sansa, which was called Discretix until last October, has had $37 million of venture capital money and is backed by both Sequoia and Accel, among others. Car-hacking demonstrations have recently shown the vulnerability ...

Synopsys has taken its FPGA-based asic prototyping hardware up to 144 million gates. Dubbed the HAPS-70 Series, the units are based around Xilinx' Virtex-7 FPGAs, and are available in...
