Recently, I stumbled upon a cool write-up by [DHowett], about reprogramming a Framework laptop’s Embedded Controller (EC). He shows us how to reuse the Caps Lock LED, instead making it indicate ...

While it’s safe to say that without a new microcontroller the Webkeys probably can’t be used for anything more exciting than launching a browser, [Jjshortcut] can always reprogram the lot and ...

While the CPU in question is exceedingly weak by modern standards (it's a RISC-derived 16-bit microcontroller clocked ... but remember the ability to reprogram these devices on the fly is a ...

Breaking into the microcontroller essentially meant being able both to research how the devices function (by analyzing the dumped firmware) and to reprogram them to do unexpected things.

By reprogramming the microcontroller's firmware, a battery could report a much lower internal voltage or current, causing the charger to overcharge the battery. In Miller's testing, he was only ...

"The LPC1800 sets a new performance benchmark for ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers," said Geoff Lees ... architecture is said to provide the highest reliability in application reprogramming, and allows ...
