A while ago we caught wind of the Electric Imp, a very cool little device that packs an ARM microcontroller and a WiFi adapter into an SD card. We got our hands on an Imp last week, and now it’s time ...

Researchers Sean Cross and Dr. Andrew Huang demonstrated yesterday at the Chaos Communication Congress that they could write arbitrary code onto various flash-based SD memory cards. Researchers ...

Microchip Technology Inc. announced the jointly developed chipKIT™ uC32™ open-source development platform, which is based on Microchip’s 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller, as well as the chipKIT Wi-Fi® ...

It was only last August that PJRC released Teensy 4.0. At that time, the 4.0 became the fastest microcontroller development board on the planet, a title it still holds as of this writing — or, well, ...

Texas Instruments’ (TI) latest MSP430 microcontrollers utilize FRAM for code and data. The unified memory approach simplifies development since code space can be traded off for more data RAM. FRAM ...

Two researchers have demonstrated an attack that could allow malware to alter and steal data direct from MicroSD cards, using tiny microcontrollers on the cards themselves. The attack could be used to ...
