Embedded Within: LoRa Radio Basics for Wireless Sensor Designs
The long range (LoRa) technology is setting in motion a transformation for wireless sensors long waiting for radios that expand the range and lower the power bar. Along with LoRa baseband and transceiver chips, we see a whole new ecosystem emerging with RF modules, microcontrollers, protocol stacks, certified reference designs, evaluation boards, and more. For […]
Embedded Within: Three Design Trends to Watch in Smart Lighting
Solid-state lighting (SSL) systems are starting to make homes, buildings, and cities smarter, as well as energy efficient. They are also becoming more effective in color rendering and enabling saturation levels based on subjective perceptions. Lighting components like chip-on-board (COB) LED packages now come with different wattage offerings and have more extensive lighting source options. […]
SEGGER Introduces RAID5 to Embedded Systems
RAID5 delivers unsurpassed data integrity in providing an additional layer of fail-safety on top of the CRC and/or error correction used by the underlying driver or storage medium. With RAID5, the storage device is divided into several partitions, one of which holds parity information allowing data recovery in case of a partition fail. It can […]
New Technique Uses Power Anomalies to ID Malware in Embedded Systems
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Texas at Austin have developed a technique for detecting types of malware that use a system’s architecture to thwart traditional security measures. The new detection approach works by tracking power fluctuations in embedded systems. “Embedded systems are basically any computer that doesn’t have a physical […]
