Creating a Configuration Security Layer for Embedded Devices: A research-based on the case study of a widely used Embedded Device

As software security expert Bruce Schneier argues, the pervasive vulnerability of embedded systems today is structurally similar to the security crisis of PCs in the mid-1990s—only much worse. Embedded devices are ideal malware targets for several reasons. Firstly, Internet-connected devices are inherently more exposed to remote exploitation....

Operating system support for a dynamically reconfigurable VLIW processor

The ρ-VEX is a dynamically reconfigurable VLIW processor, developed at TU Delft, which is capable of extracting large amounts of parallelism from applications running on it. However, without a dedicated software layer to dictate the reconfigurations, the ρ-VEX has to depend on another processor to carry out its reconfigurations meaningfully....

Design and implementation of a LoRa based Gateway

The project focuses on the hardware-software co design of a LoRaWAN based industrial IoT gateway used for proprietary applications. Long Range Wide Area Network, abbreviated as LoRaWAN is a network and data layer running over the LoRa PHY layer which operates at 868 MHz[29]. The surge in LoRa has led big market players like SemTech to licence...
