Introduction
The CW520 (ChipSHOUTER) is a fully-featured Electromagnetic
Fault Injection platform that can be used to discover and
characterize vulnerabilities in embedded systems. ChipSHOUT-
ER makes EMFI available to test labs, engineering
development firms, educators, and embedded enthusiasts. With
a flexible API and bundled practice targets the system is a
platform for experimentation and education right out of the
box. Paired with an X-Y table and some basic python script-
ing the ChipSHOUTER becomes a fully automatable EMFI
platform capable of precision testing and fault characteri-
zation. This manual will give a basic background for the
principles behind the device, using it safely, and example
injections on included targets. Users will also be directed
to further reading on advanced uses, where professionals and
researchers can take advantage of the modular design to fur-
ther fine tune their processes and experiments.
