Lattice Unveils Embedded Vision and Firmware Security Enhancement Stack
Published2021.03.04 16:44Announcing the Sentry 2.0 solution stack
Vision and security application development support
On the 4th, Lattice Semiconductor unveiled the Lattice mVision™ 2.0 low-power embedded vision system and the Lattice Sentry™ 2.0 solution stack for controlling server security systems.
The MVision 2.0 vision system includes new features that accelerate embedded vision application design. For example, the stack includes new development boards supporting image sensors widely used in industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer applications, such as Sony's IMX464 and IMX568, and ON Semiconductor's AR0344CS.
It also provides the Lattice Propel™ design environment, which helps simplify the development of vision systems utilizing embedded RISC-V processors. Propel is a design environment that accelerates the development of embedded processor-based applications on Lattice FPGAs.
The environment includes a complete set of graphical and command-line tools for creating, analyzing, compiling, and debugging both hardware designs for FPGA-based processor systems and software designs for those processor systems.
According to a white paper jointly authored by the Cloud Security Industry Summit (CSIS), a group of cloud service providers, and the Open Compute Project (OCP), firmware is a major attack vector against computer systems, devices, and related infrastructure.
“If the first code that runs on a device when it powers on is compromised, the entire system can be compromised, so security can no longer be assured,” the white paper said. “Firmware can be corrupted by malicious attacks or unintentional reasons.”
The Sentry 2.0 solution stack supports implementation of a Hardware Root-of-Trust (HRoT) solution that complies with the NIST Platform Firmware Resiliency (PER) guidelines (NIST SP 800-193) and provides 384-bit encryption (ECC-256/384, HMAC-SHA-384).
To strongly protect the firmware from unauthorized access, the Sentry solution stack includes a secure enclave IP block that implements 384-bit encryption. Supports Lattice Mach™-NX security control FPGAs.
Additionally, it offers faster boot times with improved ECDSA (40ms), SHA (up to 70Mbps), and QSPI (64MHz) performance compared to the 1.0 stack. This helps minimize system downtime and reduce exposure to firmware attacks attempted during the boot process.
For PFR-compatible HRoT extensions, the Sentry 2.0 stack also provides real-time monitoring of up to five motherboard components in a booted and operational system.

[Interview] "HPC Needs an Integrated, Heterogeneous Programming Environment"
Heterogeneous systems with multiple types of processors such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs simultaneously mounted are widely utilized in the HPC field, but implementation is challenging due to fragmented programming environments. By leveraging a unified programming environment such as Intel's oneAPI, it becomes convenient to write code with improved code portability and performance portability across different processors.

Enhancing Cloud Competitiveness Depends on Building a Single DevOps Environment
DevOps provides an environment that enables enterprises to integrate human resources, processes, and tools to realize adaptive IT and business agility. However, when configuring the entire DevOps environment with individual software solutions, hundreds of tools must be used, which places a burden on the system. Therefore, there is a need to build a single application-based DevOps platform that can achieve efficiency, productivity, security, compliance, and governance.

Databricks Unveils Open AI Security Monitoring 'Lakewatch'
Databricks entered the security market on March 24 by unveiling LakeWatch, an open-source agentic SIEM. The core functionality of this product is to integrate and analyze security, IT, and business data in a single environment to support AI-based threat detection and investigation. The company explained that it reduces the limitations of existing security operations centers, which have had to forgo some data due to high cost structures, and enables large-scale data analysis and automation based on open formats and ecosystems. LakeWatch is currently offered as a private preview, with Adobe and Dropbox mentioned as early customers. Databricks also announced an expanded partnership with Anthropic as well as the acquisition of Antimatter and SiftD.ai.
