Microsemi says its entire portfolio is unaffected by the Spectre and Meltdown flaws. “As a leader in security, we strive to ensure our products are immune to both existing and potential new threats or vulnerabilities,” says Microsemi CTO Jim Aralis, “as soon as news broke about Meltdown and Spectre, Microsemi immediately assessed its existing products with thorough analysis of the ...

At CES18 (9 – 12 January), Aaware will introduce its Sound Capture platform, based on Avnet’s MiniZed Zynq SoC.  It integrates algorithmic acceleration and a flexible microphone array board with the dual-core Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoCs. It is designed to help development teams create far-field, voice-to-machine communications functionality that is more natural and robust than available today, says Jim Beneke, vice ...

Green Hills Software is supporting secure system development on the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC from Xilinx with its Integrity real-time operating system (RTOS) and supporting tools. Zynq UltraScale+ integrates 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processor cores and an FPGA fabric which is being used in applications for automotive intelligence, industrial vision and defence. The secure RTOS allows software of different levels of criticality to run on the ...

Cypress releases a development kit for low-power high-performance IoT devices based around a programmable logic chip

Xilinx is sampling its Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC family, an architecture integrating the RF signal chain into an SoC for 5G wireless, cable Remote-PHY, and radar. Based on 16nm UltraScale+ MPSoC architecture, the All Programmable RFSoCs monolithically integrate RF data converters for up to 50-75 percent system power and footprint reduction, and soft-decision Forward Error Correction (SD-FEC) cores to meet 5G ...

Intel plans to add authentication and data protection security capabilities to its FPGA-based development boards for IoT designs. Intel’s DE10-Nano development board is now supported by an SDK from SecureRF with tech support for authenticating remote devices with a Cyclone V FPGA. As an alternative to ECC authentication techniques security algorithms offered by SecureRF, such as Ironwood Key Agreement Protocol ...
