[Cerowrt-devel] Friends don't let friends run factory firmware

[dpreed at reed.com]

Apropos of this topic construed broadly, just got the following in my email.  I'm thinking about a MicroZed network appliance anyway, so a PMOD interface is interesting because that's the MicroZed peripheral standard.  But wouldn't it be nice if one could have this kind of authentication in a router?

It's a nice little chip, easy to interface to almost anything.  Pretty easy to make a PCB that can be added to almost any commercial "home router".
