Frequently Asked Questions

What FPGA devices are compatible with the NewAE CW305 Artix-7 Target Board?

The CW305 board is designed to support Artix-7 FPGAs in the FTG256 package. Its BGA socket design allows for flexible integration of various Artix-7 devices, making it suitable for comparative analysis and hardware-specific security research. Always verify the specific Artix-7 model for optimal compatibility and performance within your testing setup.

How does the programmable VCC-INT feature benefit security research?

The programmable VCC-INT (0.8–1.2V) on the CW305 enables precise voltage glitching and power analysis experiments. Researchers can dynamically adjust the core voltage to induce faults or observe power consumption variations, which is crucial for uncovering vulnerabilities in cryptographic implementations and other sensitive embedded system components. This flexibility enhances fault injection attack capabilities significantly.

What is the purpose of the external PLL with a 1–200 MHz range?

The external PLL allows for fine-grained control over the clock frequency supplied to the FPGA, ranging from 1 MHz to 200 MHz. This feature is vital for clock glitching attacks, where momentary clock disruptions can lead to unexpected program behavior or security bypasses. It also enables precise timing measurements and synchronisation for side-channel analysis setups.

What software tools and SDKs are supported for the CW305 board?

The NewAE CW305 interfaces via a high-speed USB 2.0 connection, leveraging the libusb DLL. This means it supports any programming language or environment capable of interacting with libusb, including C, C++, and Visual Basic. It is primarily designed to integrate seamlessly with the ChipWhisperer capture systems and their associated Python-based security analysis toolchain.

Can the CW305 be used for general FPGA development beyond security testing?

While primarily optimized for embedded security testing, including side-channel power analysis and fault injection, the CW305 can technically be used for general Artix-7 FPGA development. Its high-speed USB interface and flexible I/O headers allow for custom logic implementation and interaction. However, its specialized features make it most cost-effective for security-focused applications rather than general prototyping.
