To PUF or Not to PUF

In 2022, the US and EU passed upcoming cybersecurity acts with the hope of implementing and enforcing the new laws in 2024.?IoT device makers will need to shift their concerns from “time to market” to “ensuring security.” One option to create a suitably secured device within a critical system is to use digital fingerprints for ICs, using physically unclonable functions (PUF). Utilizing PUF technology, designers can implement unique identifications for every chip produced. Intrinsic-ID is one of the pioneers of PUF technology and leverages SRAM PUF that syncs with startup protocols of SRAM memory. Read more.

SYSGO's Version 1.1 of its PikeOS for MPU is Ready for Blastoff

SYSGO - Embedding Innovations released version 1.1 of its real-time operating system, PikeOS for MPU. It will now support the Dahlia NG-Ultra system-on-a-chip (SoC) that leverages ARM-R52 cores and version 11.3 of the Gnu Compiler Collection. An added benefit is the ability to change the DDR memory without the need for adjustments with the Board Support Package (BSP). Another key highlight is an enhanced debug information view.

The RTOS plays a vital role in trusted communication amongst the A and R cores of the ARM architecture making it viable in allowing its application on MPSoCs with various designs, such as the Xilinx Ultrascale, and extends to a unified development environment (CODEO 7.4).

"The new version of PikeOS for MPU is the next logical step of product improvement and enables our customers to design applications that are secure and state-of-the-art," said Franz Walkembach , Vice President Marketing & Alliances at SYSGO. Read more.
