IIoT Edge Is A Moving Target
By Kevin Fogarty - 06 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Edge computing happens in an industrial IoT (IIoT) system wherever it needs to happen. The business needs for an IIoT system—or one layer of that system—will determine when and where the computing happens. This conclusion, from an introductory report written by the IoT testing organization the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), helps explain why no one consistently can say what edge... » read more

Deriving Configuration Time For eFPGAs
By Volkan Oktem - 06 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Part 1 of this blog post described how to configure an eFPGA, using Achronix’s Speedcore eFPGA as an example. It explained why each instance of the eFPGA in an ASIC or SoC design must be configured after the system powers up due to its nonvolatile SRAM technology to store configuration bits. This post will detail how the configuration time is derived, once again using Speedcore eFPGA as th... » read more

How To Efficiently Achieve ASIL-D Compliance Using NoC Technology
By Arteris - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Increasing layers of electronics and software are being added to vehicles, from infotainment to engine, brakes, and various sensors for ADAS and autonomous driving. To address the increasing use of electronics in automobiles, the ISO 26262 Functional Safety for Road Vehicles standard was developed. This standard is intended to ensure that the electronics are designed to specified levels in o... » read more

Achieving ASIC Timing Closure With Speedcore eFPGAs
By Achronix - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Achronix's Speedcore eFPGA IP allows companies to embed a programmable logic fabric in their ASICs, delivering to end users the capability to modify or upgrade the functionality of an ASIC after being deployed in the field. This flexibility dramatically expands the solution space that can be served by the ASIC as it can be updated to support changing standards and algorithms. Timing closure is ... » read more

The Rising Need for Satellite Security
By Rambus - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Satellites today contain highly complex embedded microelectronics systems complete with processing, data storage, and data receiving/transmitting capabilities. Further, they are controlled by ground stations, computers in data centers. They are therefore susceptible to threats prevalent in cloud computing architectures including insider threats, malicious downloads, etc. As such, satellite secu... » read more

USB 3.2: The Latest USB Type-C Challenge For SoC Designers
By Synopsys - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

This white paper outlines applications that benefit from USB 3.2’s increased bandwidth, describes the latest USB 3.2 specification for USB Type-C, and explains how the latest specification affects speed using USB Type-C connectors and cables. Additionally, the white paper discusses USB 3.2 implementation, the new features of USB 3.2, and how designers can successfully integrate USB 3.2 IP in ... » read more

‘Fuzzing’ A Virtual Prototype ECU To Improve Security
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Staying ahead in the arms race against hackers means constantly looking for novel ways to find and correct security flaws, including (and perhaps especially) when it comes to relatively low-level hardware. In this brief white paper we describe one such way — an automated fuzzing test of a virtual ECU to find and correct vulnerabilities during the upstream development process. To read more,... » read more

Cache Speculation Side-Channels
By Arm - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

This whitepaper looks at the susceptibility of Arm implementations following research findings from security researchers, including Google and MIT, on new potential cache timing side-channels exploiting processor speculation. This paper also outlines possible mitigations that can be employed for software designed to run on existing Arm processors. To read more, click here. » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
