https://www.electronics-lab.com/microchips-first-arm-processor-with-cryptographic-engine/
Clemens Valens @ elektormagazine.com discuss about the new CEC1302 microcontroller from Microchip. This is the first Microchip microcontroller with an ARM core. He writes: Based on a Cortex-M4 core its main feature is its integrated cryptographic engine supporting public key encryption, symmetric key encryption, secure hashing and random number generating. Besides its ARM core the […]
Inside the ALU of the first ARM microprocessor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/inside-the-alu-of-the-first-arm-microprocessor/
Dave @ daveshacks.blogspot.co.uk takes a look inside the first ARM microprocessor and explains it’s design. With that in mind I embarked on my own attempt to reverse-engineer parts of the armv1. Some background knowledge of the processor’s architecture is helpful, and googling for “ARM Architecture Reference Manual” will lead you to very detailed descriptions of […]
