Wi-Fi sniffing with Wireshark
Introduction Ever wondered how Wi-Fi really works? There’s a cool feature called “monitor mode” which enables you to peek behind the scenes of Wi-Fi networks. Think of it like having superpowers for your Wi-Fi adapter. In this article, I will explain what “monitor mode” is, and show you how it can be your secret weapon […]
Designing FSMs in VHDL
Introduction Finite State Machines (FSMs) are fundamental building blocks used in digital designs. The FSMs enable designers to encapsulate complex logic into manageable, modular blocks. If it is used in a structured way, the FSM can enhance readability, maintainability, and scalability of digital designs. Among other applications, FSMs are used to control the sequence of […]
Understanding USB Battery Charging 1.2
Introduction USB BC 1.2 stands for “USB Battery Charging 1.2,” established as a standard by the USB-IF Association in October 2010. USB BC had a preceding version, USB BC 1.1, which was unveiled in 2009. In adherence to the USB-IF Battery Charging Specification, precise current limits and protocols are established. These specifications facilitate portable devices […]
D-Bus and Embedded Linux
D-Bus is an interprocess communication standard (IPC). Different processes can communicate with each other using D-Bus, either using remote procedure calls (RPC, one-to-one communication) or through signals (one-to-many communication). The standard specifies how data is encoded and transferred, allowing programs written in different programming languages to communicate. Fundamentally D-Bus is user-space technology, i.e. it does […]
