The beauty of capable computing is that aside from being cheap enough, it should also be good enough. While we have seen some great WiFi IoT boards like Wemos D1 mini and Lolin32, there has not been anything like the newly launched W600-PICO board from Wemos. The new W600-PICO board, based on Winner MicroW600 Arm Cortex-M3 WiSoC, is the cheapest board […]

The M100PFS is based on the PolarFire SoC FPGA architecture by Microsemi and combines high-performance 64-bit RISC-V cores with outstanding FPGA technology. The platform integrates a hardened real-time, Linux capable, RISC-V-based MPU subsystem on the mid-range PolarFire FPGA family, bringing low power consumption, thermal efficiency and defence grade security to embedded systems. The RISC-V CPU
CircuitPython’s user base is growing even though a lot of people believe Micropython is a better route. It enjoys the rigorous backing 0f one of the major drivers of the Maker community (Aka Adafruit) and recently has been the “embedded Python” stack of choice for several open-source development boards. One such board is the Serpentine boards created by the popular Arturo182.

CES 2020 has been full of the usual intrigue and amazing display of technological advancements across different industries. As usual, it has featured the release/launch of several new products by different companies and one of such announcements we know will interest the community, is the launch of the Arduino Portenta Family of Boards, with the
With the UG85, ICP Germany launches an intelligent and compact indoor LoRaWAN gateway that can be expanded in many ways. The UG85 is offered with a 64-bit ARM Cortex A-53 with 800 MHz, 512MB DDR3 RAM and 8Gb eMMC flash memory. Eight LoRa channels based on the Semtech SX1301 chipset are available, which can be
Microchip announces a new family of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) EERAM memory products, branded as “EERAM Memory Solutions,” that offers system designers up to 25 percent cost savings over the current serial Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) alternatives. The family introduces four reliable SPI densities to Microchip’s EERAM portfolio, ranging from 64 Kb up to 1 Mb

The nRF5340 is the world’s first wireless SoC with two Arm® Cortex®-M33 processors. It is truly secure, and the combination of two flexible processors, the advanced feature set, and an operating temperature up to 105 °C, make it the ideal choice for professional lighting, advanced wearables, and other complex IoT applications. The nRF5340 is an
The SparkFun RED-V (pronounced “red-five”) RedBoard is a low-cost, development board featuring the Freedom E310 SoC which brings with it the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). The RED-V RedBoard comes in the familiar Arduino Uno R3 form factor and includes the SiFive Freedom E310 core, 32MB of QSPI flash, an NXP K22 ARM Cortex-M4 for
Physical storage drives have not changed a lot over the years. They have improved in terms of storage capacity and technology but they are definitely still a bit bulky (compared with how small things are becoming) and relatively slow. To offer an improvement to what is currently in the market, GrowthLabs recently announced the launch of a

This is a keystroke injection device (also called badusb). It is similar to a well-known USB rubber ducky made by hak5, but has much extended functionality, lower price and is also completely open source. It looks and feels like an ordinary USB flash drive, but acts as a keyboard that types in a preprogrammed payload. This payload
