ENGINEERING ARCHIVE
Projects, engineering notes and architectural decisions. From the lab to real systems.
From 11 September 2026, Cyber Resilience Act reporting duties begin. Learn what changes for embedded and IoT device manufacturers and how to prepare firmware, SBOMs, secure updates and vulnerability-management processes for 2027.
Post-quantum cryptography is no longer theory: NIST, the EU, OpenSSL and ST are pushing ML-KEM and ML-DSA into embedded and IoT. Here is what changes for TLS, secure boot, OTA and product lifecycle, with concrete trade-offs for MCUs, Linux gateways and compliance.
What the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark means for IoT and embedded product teams: firmware updates, secure boot, vulnerability handling and documentation.
A practical architecture guide for OTA firmware updates with rollback, A/B partitions, image validation and production-safe embedded device lifecycle management.
What bootloaders really do in embedded products and how architecture changes across MCUs, embedded Linux and FPGA-based systems.
How hardware roots of trust help embedded products protect keys, boot chains, firmware integrity and sensitive operations.
How embedded Linux teams can approach security-by-design with secure boot, signed updates, SBOMs, vulnerability management and EU regulatory pressure.
