It is up to the manufacturer to implement it, most esp devices like 8266 and 32 have weak security firmware, are easily hackable (benefit to me). Most don't have security in mind and don't get security updates.
- connicpu 3y agoThe new ESP32 models coming out, especially the RISC-V models, all have security features like Flash encryption and hardware cryptography modules. Unfortunate for those who like to reflash consumer devices.
- sitkack 3y agoThe chips themselves are $1 qty 1. Remove the old chip, put your unlocked chip in its place.
- IshKebab 3y agoIt's beyond most people's ability, equipment and effort threshold to order 1 chip from digikey (how much is delivery on that $1?) and replace a QFN package.
- AussieWog93 3y ago>how much is delivery on that $1? From AliExpress, it'd probably be $2-$3 including shipping. They don't ask questions when ordering large volumes of microcontrollers either.
- sitkack 3y agoMost people aren't going to be tearing down consumer goods and reflashing the firmware. If someone wants to get a hot air station and a bunch of $1 chips and reprogram their own devices, it would cost them less than a hundred dollars, 150 tops. Anyone can learn any skill. If you can draw anything recognizable, you can do electronics.
- baq 3y agohow much is the soldering station to do that?
