ARM Cortex-M23 & M33 ARMv8-M cores were unveiled at ARM Techcon 2016 last October. They are the first MCU class cores to support TrustZone technology for better security, and one of the first micro-controllers to feature the technology is Nuvoton’s NuMicro M2351 Cortex M23 MCU designed for fingerprint applications. NuMicro M2351 MCU specifications Processor Core – ARM Cortex-M23 ARMv8-M core @ up to 48 MHz Memory – 96 KB embedded SRAM Storage – Up to 512 KB embedded flash with dual bank mode supporting OTA firmware update, 32 KB Secure Boot ROM Display IF – 8 COM x 40 SEG controller with internal charge pump for segment LCD panel Peripherals – UART, SPI, I²C, GPIOs, USB and ISO 7816-3 for smart card reader. Security features TrustZone Technology 8 Memory Protection Units (MPU) 8 Security Attribution Units (SAU) Implementation Defined Attribution Unit (IDAU) 2 KB OTP ROM with additional 1KB lock […]

As I checked out the latest email on the ARM Linux kernel mailing list, one thread somehow caught my attention: “[PATCH v2 00/10] ARM: NUC900: Add NUC970 SoC support” with the following introduction: This patch series added Nuvoton new SoC NUC970 development board support, this nuc970 belongs to nuc900 series, but many features are not compatible with old nuc900 SoCs like nuc910, nuc920. I could not quite remember ever having heard about Nuvoton, and it turns out it’s a fairly recent Taiwan company, founded in 2008 as a spinoff and fully own subsidiary of the better known Winbond Electronics. Their website shows ARM Cortex M0/M4 & 8051 micro-controllers, as well as ARM7 and ARM9 micro-processors, and some other application specific audio and video SoCs. But when I checked for MUC970 I could not find anything on their website, even in NUC900 series page. But Google came to the rescue and […]
