LATTICE LAUNCHES 2ND GEN SECURITY SOLUTION WITH NEW MACH-NX FPGA FOR CYBER-RESILIENT SYSTEMS

attice Semiconductor Corporation has developed its Mach-NX FPGA family, the
second generation in its line of secure control FPGAs. Mach-NX FPGAs come with enhanced security features and the fast, power-efficient processing needed to implement a real-time Hardware Root-of-Trust (HRoT) on future server platforms, as well as computing, communications, industrial, and automotive systems. “The race is on between bad actors trying to
security protocols like SPDM. Lattice’s Mach FPGA families can simplify and accelerate implementation of these technologies for server OEMs looking to secure their platforms against cyberattack and IP theft.” Esam Elashmawi, Chief Strategy and Marketing
Officer at Lattice, added: “Securing systems against unauthorised firmware access goes beyond establishing a HRoT at boot. It also requires that components used to build the system are not
compromised as they move through the global supply chain. When combined with the additional protection afforded by our SupplyGuard security service, Lattice Mach-NX FPGAs can protect a system throughout its entire lifecycle: beginning at the time components start moving through the supply chain, through initial product assembly, end-product shipping, integration, and throughout the product’s operational lifetime.” Building on the system control capabilities of
the Mach family, Mach-NX FPGAs combine a secure enclave (an advanced, 384-bit hardware- based crypto engine supporting reprogrammable bitstream protection) with a logic cell (LC) and I/O block. The secure enclave helps secure firmware, and the LC and I/O block enable system control functions such as power management and fan control. Mach-NX FPGAs can verify and install the over-the-air firmware updates that keep systems compliant with evolving security guidelines and protocols. The Mach-NX FPGA’s parallel processing architecture and dual-boot flash memory configuration provide the near instantaneous response times needed to detect and recover from attacks (a level of performance beyond the capabilities of other HRoT platforms like MCUs). Mach-NX FPGAs will support the Lattice Sentry
solutions stack, a robust combination of customisable embedded software, reference designs, IP, and development tools to accelerate the implementation of secure systems compliant with NIST Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) Guidelines (NIST SP-800-193).

DIGI-KEY BECOMES OFFICIAL RASPBERRY PI AUTHORISED DISTRIBUTOR FOR FULL PI RANGE
everything from rapid prototyping to production ready designs. The distributer will carry the entire line of Raspberry Pi products Raspberry Pi's full line of products includes low-cost, high-performance computers and development boards designed to help users of all levels with computing and digital making. Raspberry Pi has been adopted across the board from students and makers to startups and established OEMs as a provider of low-cost, high-performance computers that people us to learn, solve problems, and create solutions. "We are excited to offer the entire Raspberry Pi product portfolio to
Digi-Key's customers around the globe," said David Sandys, director of technical marketing at Digi-Key. "Raspberry Pi truly shares our commitment to come alongside
engineers around the world and inspire them as they take their innovations from ideation through design and prototyping to production." "We have continued to see a huge acceleration in the use of Raspberry
Pi products across a wide range of industrial applications, so we are very excited to add Digi-Key as an authorized distributor focused on serving the industrial market for us globally," said Mike Buffham, chief commercial officer at Raspberry Pi. "Digi-Key will stock the complete range of Raspberry Pi products,
Digi-Key Electronics is now an official Raspberry Pi authorised distributor and will carry the full line of Raspberry Pi products. With more than 36 million platforms sold, Raspberry Pi has become a go-to solution for
/ ELECTRONICS
including the recently released Compute Module 4 range, which we believe is ideally suited to Digi-Key's global customers."
