Stack overflows have notoriously plagued the development processes. They often can go undetected and can present themselves in obscure ways. We have implemented software mechanisms to protect against them, but these have limitations and still don’t protect against all conditions. With the maturity of the ARM architecture, wouldn’t it be better to have a fool-proof mechanism for detecting overflows?

IoT devices have become ubiquitous. Given the number of new devices being deployed all over the world and far from the desks of developers, it is imperative to have a solid set of tools to manage them without being directly connected to them via JTAG, USB, or SSH. The necessary tasks in the IoT device lifecycle include device deployment and management, remote monitoring, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
