FAT 2.0 Unifies Firmware Security Workflows

Attify’s Firmware Analysis Toolkit is a Rust-based CLI for identifying, extracting, analyzing, taint-tracing, and emulating firmware across IoT, edge AI, mobile, and robotics targets. FAT 2.0 consolidates these workflows while adding support for raw MCU images, binary analysis, and QEMU-based rehosting.

// ANALYSIS

FAT 2.0 looks like a serious consolidation of fragmented firmware-research tooling, especially for teams moving from static inspection toward reproducible dynamic analysis.

–One CLI spans firmware identification, filesystem extraction, binary triage, taint analysis, and emulation
–MCU and edge-AI artifact support broadens its reach beyond traditional Linux firmware
–Rust improves installation and distribution compared with the older Python-based workflow
–Its emphasis on evidence boundaries and epistemics is valuable in security research, where heuristic findings are easily overstated
–FAT 2.0 is source available under FSL-1.1-ALv2, so teams should review licensing before treating it as conventional open source

Nyobolt powers Digit 5’s nine-minute charge

Agility Robotics named Cambridge-based Nyobolt the exclusive battery technology provider for Digit 5, targeting 90 minutes of runtime and a nine-minute recharge—a 10:1 run-to-charge ratio versus Digit 4’s 2:1. Early access is expected in the first half of 2027, but the performance figures remain preliminary company claims.

Claude Code Test Exposes Cache-Switching Costs

A 27-run test of Claude Code 2.1.302 shows that the agent resends its growing context each turn, with prompt caching doing the cost-control work. Switching models or returning after cache expiry forces a cold re-read, making cheaper model routing unexpectedly expensive.

Claude Haiku 5.5 Wins Cheap Coding Test

A DIY Smart Code comparison found Claude Haiku 5.5 completed an Express bug-fix task in every run for roughly $0.20, versus $0.76 on Sonnet 5.5 and $1.53 on Opus 5.5. The result supports Anthropic’s positioning of Haiku 5.5 as a cost-efficient model for high-volume coding and subagent workloads. Anthropic.
