San Jose, Ca. – Atmel Corp. has begun revamping its 32 bit ARM7TDM-based microcontroller devices with a new peripheral DMA controller (PDC) architecture it believes will significantly improve ...
Atmel’s AT91SAM7X128 and AT91SAM7X256 ARM7-based, flash microcontrollers include peripheral support for 10/100 Ethernet; CANs (controller-area networks); full-speed, 12-Mbps USB 2.0 devices; and ...
A fundamental skill that embedded software developers need to master is understanding how to write drivers. Within an embedded system, there a typically two types of drivers: microcontroller ...
Many modern laptops and an increasing number of desktop computers are much more vulnerable to hacking through common plug-in devices than previously thought, according to new research. Many modern ...
High-end microcontrollers often use large, complex crossbar switches and other technologies to maximize throughput and performance. Low-end microcontrollers typically feature a simple bus structure.
Another technique common to both embeddedprocessor performance optimization and embedded processor poweroptimization is software pipelining. Software pipelining is a techniquewhere the programmer ...
