4-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) are among the simplest, cheapest and most abundant computing devices that, thanks to their low power consumption, may be deployed even in passive RFID tags. Besides, 4-bit MCUs are embedded in a wide variety of daily-life objects that, when connected to a network, could...
