Introduction to the boards
A board to do what? What are the boards? What can they do? How much does it cost? Why this one? Where is the documentation? Yes, you surely have plenty of questions! You will sometimes need a reminder while testing or doing the exercises, so I will also point to the chip's documentation. These questions are exactly what we are going to be talking about in the following sub-headings.
A board to do what?
Well, we will need to interface the board with the circuit we will want to attack. Since a general-usage PC doesn't really have a readily accessible interface board to connect with the most common protocols, we will use a bluepill or a blackpill to do so.
What are they?
The bluepill is a very cheap board and the blackpill is slightly more expensive but more capable. Both are very capable of being used to follow the exemples in this book (exemples have been tested with both).
For general usage the only major difference is the presence of a CAN interface...
