most either don’t have it at all or rely on a separate on-board chip to do some form of translating. The ESP32 is lacking this advanced feature so the USB needs to be cobbled together from ...

or you tack on a shift register and drive it with the blindingly fast I2S peripheral — something you can’t do with the ESP8266. Sharing the peripheral set with the ESP32 will help alleviates ...

Secondly, these commands cannot be triggered via Bluetooth, radio signals, or the Internet, meaning they do not present a risk of remote compromise to ESP32 devices. Thirdly, while these commands ...

A hot potato: The ESP32 chip, found in over a billion devices worldwide, contains undocumented vendor-specific commands that could potentially be misused to access device memory and manipulate ...

problems are to be expected – many manufacturers do not offer firmware updates. Installation can also prove difficult in many application scenarios. Anyone using ESP32-based IoT devices should ...

Our original story can be found here. The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains undocumented commands that could be ...

ESP32, manufactured by a Chinese company called Espressif, is a microcontroller that enables Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections in numerous smart devices, including smartphones, laptops, smart locks ...
