No Blues with Bluetooth! GATT Explained - Part 5 - Understanding Higher Protocol Layers Provides Interoperability Help

After exploring low-level layers of Bluetooth Low Energy in previous editions, and establishing connections in Part 4, Robert examines Attribute Protocol and Generic Attribute Profile or GATT in Part 5. These higher layer protocols provide developers with greater opportunity for interoperability with third-party applications or products.

Power Analysis Over JTAG Ports: Hidden Debug Dangers - Block Side-Channel Analysis Attacks

Small changes in the phase of clock signals can encode power leakages. An attacker can use standard interfaces such as the JTAG port to drive clocks across targets, using them as measurement techniques for sidechannel analysis attacks despite limited physical access. This article demonstrates how you can test devices for vulnerability and how to modify devices to prevent attacks.

Mobile APP Development with React Native

This month, Bob continues his series on mobile app development from an embedded designer's perspective. He programs a React Native app and he offers guidelines for picking a tutorial for React Native. He further explores how it handles concurrency and asynchronous programming. Bob expected a few nuances during the process but to say there were more than a few would be an understatement.
