NewAE Technology CW610: PhyWhisperer® USB
NewAE Technology CW610: PhyWhisperer® USB is a hardware-based USB 2.0 monitor and trigger platform controlled by Python. This PhyWhisperer USB module is designed to work with ChipWhisperer® and ChipSHOUTER® tools by serving as a unit to trigger USB protocols with high accuracy. The CW610 includes a built-in shunt that monitors power consumption on an external oscilloscope or ChipWhisperer. This PhyWhisperer USB module has a convenient front-panel button that allows the power cycling of the target device. The CW610 features 20-pin connector interfaces to ChipWhisperer for clock and trigger synchronization.
Features
- USB PHY front-end allows monitoring of USB 2.0 LS/FS/HS traffic
- Python control interface (API) for viewing of raw USB data or piping data into analysis tools such as ViewSB
- Trigger on USB packets for fault injection or side-channel analysis triggering
- Programmable trigger offset delay and width to drive fault injection equipment such as ChipSHOUTER directly
- A convenient front-panel button allows power-cycling of the target device
- 20-pin connector interfaces directly to ChipWhisperer for providing clock and trigger synchronization
- Expansion connector allows investigating other protocols with planned support for Arm trace and Ethernet protocols
- Translucent blue enclosure
