Securing The Design Journey


In automotive, security, and pervasive computing, the stakes of failure have never been higher. Functional safety, security compliance, long product lifecycles, and system resilience are no longer differentiators — they are baseline requirements. Yet many semiconductor and system companies are still relying on an outdated engagement model built around static datasheets, fragmented tools, and ... » read more

TEE.fail: When Your Security System Leaves the Window Open


Let’s talk about a cybersecurity attack that’s been making waves: TEE.fail. TEE stands for Trusted Execution Environment. Sounds reassuring, right? But here’s the kicker: exactly what a TEE is, and what it’s supposed to guarantee, is surprisingly unclear. TEEs have been around for about a decade, but as with many things in security, the rules are more like guidelines. You might think, �... » read more

What The EU Cyber Resilience Act Means For Digital Product Makers


The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to become a defining regulation for all manufacturers and developers of digital products that touch the EU market. It introduces strict requirements for cybersecurity practices, risk management, and compliance procedures, affecting a wide range of stakeholders from software developers to hardware vendors. This article unpacks what the CRA is, who it af... » read more

PAwR Simplified: Zephyr And Bluetooth LE 5.4 In Action


If you have ever wanted to see ideas turn into synchronized signals and signals evolve into perfectly timed communication, Bluetooth LE 5.4’s PAwR (Periodic Advertising with Responses) delivers just that. By organizing communication into periodic events, subevents, and response slots, PAwR enables low-power devices to operate in precise rhythm, much like dancers coordinated by a choreograph... » read more
