Single Board Solutions

All ChipWhisperer Capture boards are capable of power analysis and glitching.

 

ChipWhisperer-Nano is the lowest-cost option with limitations on the types of attacks that can be performed.

The original ChipWhisperer-Lite is a single board that integrates high-speed power measurement (replacing your oscilloscope), a target device, a programmer for the target device, a platform for performing fault injection, and much more. These boards are perfect if you want to teach yourself (or your class) all about side-channel power analysis & fault injection with minimal fuss.

CW305 Artix FPGA Target

MSRP

$800 - $3000 US

FPGA target for implementing custom cryptographic algorithms, includes a powerful address/data interface to FPGA, with demonstration AES core. Also possible to run soft-core processors, including Arm DesignStart Cortex-M1 & Cortex-M3 releases.

NAE-CW305-7A100_web.jpg

CW308 UFO Target Board

MSRP

$240 US

Our universal base-board that fits a variety of microcontroller targets, includes STM32F3 and XMEGA targets.

Target Boards

These target boards require the CW308 UFO base board to function. They have a variety of processor architectures to allow you to easily experiment with different devices under a (fairly) standard environment. Note that some boards may need external programmers (such as Segger J-Link or OpenOCD) to reflash the chip. Check the datasheet and documentation before purchasing if you are unsure!
