What is a Secure Element? A Secure Element (SE) is tamper-resistant hardware (secure black-box) capable of securely storing confidential and cryptographic data. It is a cryptographic co-processor chip that, by design, protects from unauthorized access and is used to run secure applications (such as password manager) by providing secure network authentication and data protection. VEST […]

Source: “E2I (Edge-to-Intelligent) SBC” by VEST, October 2020. The i.MX 8M Mini-series of application processors is a feature and performance scalable multi-core platform that includes options for single, dual, and quad core based on the Arm Cortex-A53 platform combined with a single Arm Cortex-M4 core architecture. The NXP i.MX 8M Mini solution is a cost-effective […]

Optical imaging systems that use liquid lens modules for autofocus are subject to thermally induced focus variation due to the impact of temperature on the fluid components. This white paper illustrates how to minimize such effects through the application of basic optical imaging principles. In particular, it is shown that, in an arrangement where the […]

The Multi-Media Module (M3) product family is based on the System-on-Module (SoM) plus carrier board structure. An SoM is a type of single-board computer made to plug into a carrier board for system expansion. SoM provides upgradability/scalability by changing the SoM module from the same pin-compatibility family with a module that meets the new end-application […]

VEST Development platforms VK8300, VK8100, and VK5100 offer our customers the fastest and easiest way to evaluate or develop an application on the VS8300, VS8100 and VS5100 System-on-Module embedded systems. These development platforms provide off-the-self hardware for accurate software evaluation as they mimic the final product’s hardware system. VEST development platforms use performance scalable VS8300, […]

What is IoT? As defined by Wikipedia, the Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical devices (“things”), like home appliances, medical devices, industrial devices, agricultural devices, wearable devices and other devices/items that are embedded with sensors, electronics, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and […]

Source: “How does 802.11ah compare with other LPWAN technologies” by Silex Technology Recently, the Wi-Fi Alliance introduced a new Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11 ah) standard to meet the growing IoT market’s unique requirements and to help accelerate the growth of IoT applications. Early this year (May 2020), the Alliance released two White Papers to present […]
