God Mode of IoT Devices: Insights from 2017 Security Developer Summit

Editor’s Note: Currently, the security issues of IoT devices are mainly limited by hardware and software. Often, if the configuration does not keep up, even if developers want to address security issues, they may feel powerless. On the software level, the built-in protection mechanisms of the system are particularly critical, especially permission-based protections. We know … Read more

Thoughts on Serial Communication Design with 51 Microcontroller

Thoughts on Serial Communication Design with 51 Microcontroller

Recently, I needed to use the 51 microcontroller for some control tasks in a project. The main function is to receive commands from the host computer through the serial port, analyze and decode them, and wait for an external trigger signal to execute the previously received command actions. Fortunately, I had an STC89C52 on hand, … Read more
