What's New at Binho

Introducing Binho Airlock, our new secure bootloader

Jonathan Georgino — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Binho Airlock is our new and improved secure bootloader, and it now ships on every Supernova and Pulsar. It makes firmware updates easier to follow, frees up space for more application features, and opens new paths for updating in environments where the old approach fell short.

A clearer update experience. Airlock uses distinct LED behaviors throughout the update process, so you always know exactly what state your device is in.

A leaner footprint. We've reduced the bootloader's memory footprint, freeing up code space for more application firmware features on every device.

Two new ways to update. Alongside the existing USB Mass Storage Device method, Airlock adds firmware updates over USB HID and WebHID. That matters especially for enterprise teams whose IT policies restrict access to mass storage devices. They can now update over HID instead.

Every Supernova and Pulsar now ships with Airlock. For devices already in the field, the upcoming Mission Control 2 desktop software will let you update the bootloader yourself. The Binho Nova bootloader is unchanged.

Update device firmware right from the browser

Updating your Binho device no longer means installing anything. Our new browser-based updater lives at dfu.binho.io: open it, connect your Supernova or Pulsar, and update right there.

Updating a device in the browser at dfu.binho.io.

The tool handles the busywork for you. It detects your device type automatically and always serves the most recent release, so you are never hunting for the right file. And for teams running customized firmware, the same tool lets you load your own tailored builds.

The updater runs on WebHID, which is supported in Chromium-based browsers like Chrome and Edge, and it works on Android devices as well. Safari and Firefox do not support WebHID yet, so reach for a Chromium browser for now.

One requirement: your device needs to be running the new Airlock bootloader, which now ships on every Supernova and Pulsar.

I3C Protocol Analyzer Plugin v4.2.1: HDR-BT decoding and multi-lane transfers

Jonathan Georgino — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Version 4.2.1 of the Binho I3C Basic Protocol Analyzer Plugin for Saleae Logic is here, with improved HDR-BT mode decoding and, new in this release, support for multi-lane transfers.

Enhanced HDR-BT decoding. We've sharpened how the analyzer reads HDR-BT (High Data Rate, Bulk Transport) traffic, so bulk-transport transactions are cleaner to follow and easier to validate directly in your Logic captures.

Multi-lane transfer support. New in 4.2.1, the analyzer now decodes multi-lane I3C transfers, so you can capture and analyze higher-throughput multi-lane traffic right alongside the rest of your bus activity.

It's available now to anyone with an active license. New to our I3C test solutions? Reach out to support@binho.io and we'll help you get set up.

A refreshed website that reflects where we stand

We've refreshed binho.io. A new design, a clearer structure, and updated branding that reflects where Binho stands today. The look is sharper, and so is the story it tells.

On the Test & Measurement front, the site now does justice to how much our instruments can actually do. We've laid out the full breadth of each tool's capabilities and presented the details in a concise, consumable form, so engineers can take the measure of what's on offer without digging for it.

On the ISR front, our Intelligent Systems & Robotics work has sharpened its focus to Physical AI: the sensing, firmware, real-time control, and validation that intelligent machines depend on. Very few teams hold the whole line from first sensor to shipped product. We do, and that is exactly why it is our opening.

Take a look around. We'll keep posting product news and company updates here as we go.

CosmicSDK v1.3.0: cross-platform, with Python, Java, and C# bindings

Jonathan Georgino — Fri, 29 May 2026 15:00:00 GMT

CosmicSDK v1.3.0 is here. Over the last few releases, the SDK has grown from a C and C++ library into a cross-platform toolkit with first-class bindings for Python, Java, and C#, so you can drive Supernova and Pulsar from whatever stack your project already runs on.

It now runs on Windows, macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), and Linux, including arm64. v1.3.0 itself adds finer device control, programmatic bus-voltage readback, broader I3C CCC command coverage, and version reporting across the bindings, all on top of the I2C, I3C, SPI, UART, and GPIO support already in place.

We've also published new customer-facing documentation, with an architecture and threading overview and protocol examples for every binding. Browse the docs, or read the v1.3.0 changelog for the full list of changes.
