Comment on Extracting a UART Password via SPI Flash Instruction Tracing

Comments

Very nice!

An 8051 with XIP SPI flash - that must be ancient tech.

Not necessarily, there are 8051 soft cores you can get for your FPGA/ASIC.

The phone I type it on has a 8051-compatible MCU in its touchscreen controller. These are everywhere.

Most of the USB mice and keyboards you can buy today have an 8051 core.

silicon labs still makes (very fast) 8051 cores. efm8sb are incredibly good for battery powered devices
