<div><div><div><p>The smart connected devices which form the IoT Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) need to be remotely re- programmed over-the-air. Therefore, new features are added, software bugs or security vulnerabilities are fixed and their assigned applications can be re-purposed. This paper proposes an IoT FOTA Microchip AVR Programmer using Wi-Fi tech- nology which supports the official Microchip Tiny Programming Interface (TPI) and Program and Debug Interface (PDI). TPI is supported by the Microchip AVR ATtiny family and PDI is supported by the Microchip AVR ATxmega family of micro- controllers. The core contribution is to add wireless connectivity to the official standard STK500v2 and STK600 programming protocols of the Microchip AVR Programmer. A simulation is conducted using the AVRDUDE Command-Line and the NB Virtual Comm Port applications proving reliable FOTA proce- dure. Experimental implementation is carried on the Microchip AVR ATtiny20 and ATxmega32A4U micro-controllers, and the collected results showed a significant match to the conducted simulation.</p></div></div></div>

Internet of Vehicles is considered one of the most unprecedented outputs of the Internet of Things. No one has realized or even expected the rapidly-growing revolution regarding autonomous connected vehicles. Nowadays, IoV is massively progressing from Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) as a huge futuristic research and development discipline. This paper proposes a novel reliable and secure architecture for ubiquitously controlling remote connected cars' internal systems, such as engine, doors' locks, sunroof, horn, windows' and lights' control systems. The main contribution is that the proposed architecture doesn't bypass the vehicle's original security coding, and doesn't require any electrical modifications to the vehicle's ECU and BCM wirings. The proposed architecture is composed of remotely connected embedded, software, and cloud-based platform systems. Two designs of wireless control boards based on RF and Wi-Fi are provided for enabling remote control using the original vehicle's encrypted key and mobile application. A simulation is implemented using the original vehicle's encrypted key and Android application proving matching results according to the proposed architecture. Experimental work is conducted on RF and Wi-Fi relays' control boards along with KEYDIY K909 RF encrypted key for controlling a 2013 Hyundai Elantra MD vehicle, and the studied results showed a distinguished match to the carried-on simulation results.
