The Internet of Things (IoT) can exist with conventional microcontrollers and SoCs, but issues such as low power requirements and wireless support have pushed development of platforms designed for IoT applications. Hardware security support is now a requirement and forthcoming ARMv8-M microcontrollers will be the new benchmark for security (see “New ARM v8 Architecture for Microcontrollers”). Specialized coprocessor support is also common from sensor integration and neural networks...
