# ChipWhisperer-Lite

The ChipWhisperer-Lite represents NewAE Technology Inc.’s most aggressive pursuit of it’s mission to bring side-channel power analysis and glitching attacks to every engineer and student. The FULLY open-source (hardware, software, 
firmware, FPGA code) is launching a revolution in hardware security. In particular, the ChipWhisperer-Lite
serves as a good middle ground between the full feature-set of the ChipWhisperer-Pro, and the affordability of
the ChipWhisperer-Nano.

## Turning a 1-Part into a 2-Part

Want to attack other targets with your 1-part board? Simply break the 
target portion of the board off as described on the ChipWhisperer-Lite capture page, 
solder a 20-pin connector on your capture board, and solder SMA connectors onto the
capture board's
