Romu: A 15.5mm USB Development Board Built on the RP2354A Bitmerse is preparing to launch Romu, a USB Type-A development board small enough to disappear almost entirely into the port it plugs into. The project is currently listed as "Coming Soon" on Crowd Supply. It's built around Raspberry Pi's RP2354A, a variant of the RP2350 chip that pairs a dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 running at 150 MHz with 2 MB of stacked onboard flash and 520 KB of SRAM. The… |

bUniProbe, a Multi-Protocol Hardware Debugger with a Web Interface There's no shortage of tools to test and debug hardware, but not many feature interfaces for SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, GPIO, ADC, and DAC in one device. bUniProbe is one of the few, and its hardware side is just half the story. It hosts its own web interface over Wi-Fi, so anyone on the network can open a browser, connect, and start working. This means multiple users can work together without the… |

Espressif Shuts Down “Backdoor” Hysteria: ESP32 Debugging Feature Misrepresented as Security Threat A recent controversy has emerged around Espressif’s ESP32 microcontroller, following the discovery of undocumented Bluetooth HCI commands by security researchers at Tarlogic Security. Initially described as a "backdoor," this characterisation sparked significant debate and was later revised to acknowledge these commands as debugging features rather than a deliberate security vulnerability. The… |

How to Debug an Arduino Project – A better way to Write your Arduino Codes Debugging is a vital element of the creative process when it comes to developing code. Arduino debugging, on the other hand, can be a little more difficult. One reason for this is that Arduino does not include a specialized debugging tool. However, the new Arduino IDE pro has a debugging tool with it. So, let’s see what kind of debugging tools are available for the Arduino… |
