Attestation Scheme Monitoring The Prover Using Hardware Security Module Connected To Its System Bus (Oxford)
By Technical Paper Link - 05 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled "Hardware-assisted remote attestation design for critical embedded systems" was published by researchers at University of Oxford. Abstract (excerpt) "To reveal attack scenarios exploiting the memory regions and time windows left unattested, we propose an attestation scheme that can continuously monitor both static and dynamic memory regions with better spatial and t... » read more

Compact NN Accelerator In CodAL
By Codasip - 22 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Recent years of IoT/IIoT evolution resulted in an important shift from cloud-level to device-level AI processing. It enables devices to run some AI tasks locally, thus minimizing security issues, data transfer costs, and latency. The ability to run AI/ML tasks becomes a must-have when selecting an SoC or MCU for IoT and IIoT applications. Embedded devices are typically resource-constrained, ... » read more

On the Design and Misuse of Microcoded (Embedded) Processors — A Cautionary Note
By Technical Paper Link - 08 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract:  "Today's microprocessors often rely on microcode updates to address issues such as security or functional patches. Unfortunately, microcode update flexibility opens up new attack vectors through malicious microcode alterations. Such attacks share many features with hardware Trojans and have similar devastating consequences for system security. However, due to microcode's opaq... » read more

Fused: Closed-Loop Performance And Energy Simulation Of Embedded Systems
By Arm - 08 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

Energy-driven computing is an emerging paradigm that aims to fuel the proliferation of tiny and low-cost IoT sensing and monitoring devices. Energy-driven computers are generally powered by energy harvesting sources, and adapt their operation at runtime according to energy availability; thus, they must be designed and tested according to the expected dynamics of their power source. However, tod... » read more

System Design Considerations For Embedded Heterogeneous Multiprocessing (HMP)
By Kinjal Dave - 10 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used extensively across a wide range of applications. These SoCs are used in smart, connected devices to transform the way we live – at home, in the car, and in our cities – with even more intelligence, speed... » read more

#54DAC: A New Beginning
By Michael MacNamara - 17 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

I’ve been attending DAC as an exhibitor since 1992, and serving on the executive committee since 2012. I am thrilled to serve as General Chair for the 54th iteration of this grand conference. (And no it’s not too early to think about DAC. The call for contributions is open now.) Through the years I have seen some big industry changes, most driven by the increasingly powerful tools and autom... » read more

Developing Effective Design Strategies For Today’s Wearable Devices
By Ed Sperling - 23 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

While many new fitness bands, smartwatches, and other wearable devices have entered the market, most have under-whelmed prospects and users. It is quite clear the wearable industry is in its infancy and fraught with growing pains. Software developers, embedded systems architects and engineers must take heed in the early miscalculations of these devices (whether it’s functionality, utility, pr... » read more

Think IoT Designs Are Challenging? Try Embedded Systems In The Brain
By Brian Fuller - 13 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

There’s low power and then there’s low power. There are amazing applications and then there are amazing applications. Today the bleeding edge of low power design is not so much in IoT (although excellent work is being done in that space) but in medical, where the stakes are high and possible outcomes life-altering. Chet Moritz, associate professor with the University of Washington’s... » read more
