Security Improving For Low-Cost Hardware

By Adam Kovac - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Security has been a priority in software for decades, but only recently has it begun catching up in chips — particularly those in inexpensive devices. The disconnect is that while these devices are low-cost, they often are connected to the same networks as more sophisticated devices and repositories for valuable data. It's not unusual for the entry point in ransomware or distributed denial... » read more

Bird’s Eye View on Tensilica Vision DSPs

By Cadence - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

The increasing use of cameras in automotive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) has resulted in a greater demand for the capability and performance of vision applications. This demand requires sophisticated vision processing algorithms and powerful digital signal processors (DSPs) to run them. Because of the limited power and cost budgets of these embedded systems, it is important t... » read more

As EDA Processes Becomes More Secure, So Do Chips

By Adam Kovac - 26 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Security is becoming a much bigger concern within chips and electronic systems, but the actual implementation remains something of an afterthought, which limits its effectiveness. There are many pieces to the security puzzle on the chip design side that go well beyond just securing the hardware or the IP. The EDA tools themselves need to be secure, as well, and so does the user data within t... » read more
