For modern devices, the necessity is high-performance microcontrollers with a processing speed of at least 500MHz, a dozen or more i/o ports, and possibly hardware support for encryption.

IoT areas under construction. One of the areas where the technology needs to mature is in its standards and interoperability. Developers can build a proprietary system, but the real benefit of the IoT ...

A new system brings machine learning to microcontrollers. The advance could enhance the function and security of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT).

Most of those devices have very basic CPUs and run Linux or a similar operating system. Not every IoT device actually features a real CPU, though. Instead, they are powered by basic microcontrollers.

On April 18th, Microsoft has announced the acquisition of Express Logic, a San Diego-based embedded software company, for an undisclosed sum.. Since its entry into the IoT market through Azure and ...

Internet of Things devices present new challenges in testing. Some devices can be tested the same way as standard semiconductors are now tested, but others call for different approaches.

Particle has launched a free cellular tier for IoT developers to create microcontroller devices that communicate over cell networks rather than WiFi. Through this change, developers and companies ...

Microsoft is looking to try to secure edge devices with a new secured OS and service for microcontrollers. The head of Azure Sphere is Galen Hunt, whose newest title is Partner Managing Director ...
