In-Vehicle Security Development Kit With CAN Bus And CAN FD Message Authentication
Microchip Technology introduced their CryptoAutomotive In-Vehicle Network (IVN) TrustAnchor/Border Security Device (TA/BSD) development kit. This kit is designed to enable OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to introduce security to networked vehicle systems, starting in areas of priority, without disruption elsewhere. The CryptoAutomotive TA/BSD development kit emulates a secure node in an automotive network and provides system [...]
Real-Time Ethernet Slave Interface For Raspberry Pi With ProfiNet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT Firmware Options
The netHAT module upgrades a Raspberry Pi 2/3/Zero to a Real-Time Ethernet capable slave device allowing the exchange of cyclic process data between an RPi application and a Real-Time Ethernet network. The module is compatible with the Hardware Attached on Top (HAT) specification by the Raspberry Foundation. The RPi and netHAT communicate via the internal SPI0 interface. Due [...]
Ruggedized Raspberry Pi Platform For IIoT Applications Supports ProfiNet, Ethernet/IP, And EtherCAT
The netPI Edge Gateway is a ruggedized Raspberry Pi platform that includes features specifically intended for the industrial manufacturing environment. Chief among these are Real Time Ethernet (RTE) ports supporting PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or EtherCAT, making it suitable for Cloud, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 projects.The netPI RTE 3 employs a secure infrastructure that conforms [...]
Arduino Due Firmware Flaw: Problem With Using The USB Programming Port At 230400 Baud And Beyond
One of the improvements that came with the Arduino IDE's updates was an increased baud rate for the Serial Monitor. Well, there are many time-sensitive applications that will benefit from the speed gain, specifically when using one of the fastest Arduinos around, the Arduino Due with its ARM Cortex M3 processor. However, when you set the Serial [...]
ARM Cortex Processors – UART Programming Problem At Baud Rates Higher Than 115200
To say it upfront, I cannot confirm with 100% certainty that all ARM Cortex microcontrollers are affected by the UART programming problem as described in the following, but there are indications that make my assumption very probable. The outcome depends primarily on thorough testing of serial communication applications, but there is evidence to the contrary [...]
