If you haven’t been paying attention, FTDI, makers of one of the most popular USB to UART chips out there, really screwed up last October. They released a driver to Microsoft that would brick… ...

The project started as a challenge for [Paul] to build the smallest ESP32 that would still function. That means carving away nearly everything normally found accompanying one of these chips.

The researchers warned that ESP32 is one of the world's most widely used chips for Wi-Fi + Bluetooth connectivity in IoT (Internet of Things) devices, so the risk of any backdoor in them is ...

According to researchers, the ESP32 is "a microcontroller that enables WiFi and Bluetooth connection." In 2023, Espressif reported that one billion units of its ESP32 chip had been sold globally.

Fabless semiconductor company Espressif system has used CEVA’s RivieraWaves Bluetooth dual mode technology in its new ESP32 chip. The china based Espressif systems designs low cost wireless ...

Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) has introduced a single-channel USB2.0 interface device. It is a USB2.0 to UART/FIFO interface device which can be configured via EEPROM to support a ...
