NewAE Technology ChipWhisperer-Lite Level 1 Starter Kit

NewAE Technology ChipWhisperer-Lite Level 1 Starter Kit (NAE-SCAPACK-L1) offers the basic tools to conduct side-channel power analysis and evaluate glitch and fault injection vulnerabilities. The Level 1 Starter Kit is based on the ChipWhisperer-Lite (CW1173), an open-source toolchain for embedded security research.

The ChipWhisperer-Lite integrates hardware for performing side-channel power analysis measurement, device programming, glitching, and serial communications into a single Capture Board. The ChipWhisperer-Lite can also act as a programmer for XMEGA (PDI) and STM32Fx (serial bootloader) devices.

The NewAE TechnologyLevel 1 Starter Kit includes only the capture portion of the ChipWhisperer-Lite board. The included UFO Baseboard (CW308) acts as a Carrier for the Target Boards, which feature pre-mounted 8-bit (XMEGA) and 32-bit (STM32 Arm®) microcontrollers. The UFO Board supports a variety of additional targets, such as FPGAs and MCUs, with advanced features such as hardware cryptography. The Starter Kit also includes an unpopulated Target Board and a Blank Prototyping Board, allowing developers to build custom Target Boards for new devices. All the hardware and software in the ChipWhisperer toolchain are open-source, allowing developers to modify them for the user's specific needs.

Optional Accessories

CANoodler (NAE-CANOODLER)
NewAE Technology CANoodler offers a simple CAN interface with a logic-level 3.3V output. The CANoodler is to be used with microcontroller targets that include a CAN block. The CANoodler uses a pinout present on select ChipWhisperer UFO Target Boards.

Advanced Breakout Board (NAE-CW506-02)
NewAE Technology Advanced Breakout Board allows the ChipWhisperer Pro (CW1200) or the ChipWhisperer-Lite (CW1173) Capture Tools to provide level shifting for interfacing from 1.5V to 5.0V device I/Os. The Breakout Board also provides breakouts for connecting other equipment, such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopes, to data or clock lines.

H-Field Probe (NAE-HPROBE-15) 
NewAE Technology H-Field Probe allows the ChipWhisperer Pro (CW1200) or the ChipWhisperer-Lite (CW1173) Capture Tools to perform side-channel power analysis on a target without inserting a series shunt resistor. It allows testing to be easily performed on devices simply by holding the probe over the chip.

Probe Set (NAE-PBSET-PSU)
NewAE Technology Probe Set includes an H-Field Probe, a Differential Probe, and a Low Noise Amplifier. These probes allow the ChipWhisperer Pro (CW1200) or the ChipWhisperer-Lite (CW1173) Capture Tools to interface easily and attack separate boards and devices. The separate Probe Power Supply is isolated to break ground loops that may be present when powering the probe from the front-panel USB of an oscilloscope.
