Electronics giant Samsung has announced it had started mass production of an Internet of Things (IoT) processor.
Called the Exynos i T200, it is a low-power High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) chip that comes with in-built WiFi connectivity for IoT use. To cater the security issues which plague the deployment of IoT devices, the device will feature a dedicated hardware block. The block called security sub-system will do the necessary security management tasks for the device. Important tasks like password keeping and data backups.
The multi-core chip will have a Cortex R4 processor along with a Cortex M0+ processor, which will ensure the chip was capable of doing two tasks independently.
Samsung has also made the processor to comply with IoT standard as outlined with the Open Connectivity Foundation.
