Systems Analysis of the Apple Lightning to USB Cable . Systems analysis identifies how devices are used together â and may include testing of signals and software inside or between chips using sniffers, probing, data capture, or literature. Systems analysis, including software reverse engineering, is performed to identify evidence of use in support of patent licensing and litigation. It can also be used for competitive benchmarking purposes in the area of electronic devices. As an example of systems analysis, we looked at what happens during the handshake between an Apple iPhone and one of the chips inside the Apple Lightning to USB cable. www.chipworks.com
