Embedded and Microcontrollers blog

I thought I'd share a project I made last semester as part of my real-time embedded systems course at San Jose State University. It was developed on the SJ One Board which utilizes the NXP LPC1758…

Hello ARM community!This one is my very first blog post in here and I want to share a project I have been working on: a weather station/datalogger reading temperature, humidity and light levels from the…

It is for Boardcon Idea6410 SBC1.1 Notes1 please use standard SD card, within 2G Bytes, suggest selecting 1G/2G Kingston or Sandisk's genuine card.2 Please via the USB card reader to write SDboot to…

Microcontrollers have proliferated into every nook and cranny of our daily lives from simple 8-bit devices that control our toaster ovens to powerful 32-bit DSP’s that provide us with the rich media and…

Blog post title by Albert EinsteinAfter a long winter in Cleveland, it’s been difficult to get up and moving again. You could say that I have a large inertia – I am resistant to change my state of motion…

Embedded developers should know the differences between cellular and Wi-Fi types of connectivity, especially when moving from prototyping to production designs. Is cellular connectivity more difficult…

The course starts from the beginning and is structured as a series of short, focused, hands-on lessons that teach you how to program Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers in C.

There was so much I wanted to share about my one day at Maker Faire that I needed to write two blogs. My first thoughts are in My First Maker Faire: Engineers and Kids at Play.Massimo launching the Arduino…

Freescale's booth at Maker Faire featured a large 4320 LED video panel, controlled by a single Teensy 3.1 board powered by Freescale's Kinetis K20 MCU.

At Maker Faire in San Mateo Arduino and Atmel announced the Arduino Zero, powered by an Atmel ARM Cortex-M0+ based microcontroller. The Arduino Zero is a great tool for prototyping, hobbyists and makers…

Experts from ARM share insights and differing viewpoints on the big issues facing wearable developers of software applications. Software developers must address many domains to successfully design the…

Wearable technology is the most talked about next-generation trend, predicted to hugely disrupt the consumer electronics landscape - and ARM is right at the centre of its emergence and growth.

While the majority of Cortex-M processor-based microcontrollers are single core designs, some new microcontrollers with multiple Cortex-M processors are also available.

There are many topics in the C language that often confuse developers but the use of the static keyword seems to be one of the more common.

1. Introduction    Most of the new ARM processors have Vector Floating Point (VFP) coprocessor which provide hardware implementation of floating point operations. The VFP capability offers the enhanced…

For 3 years, my Mac has been very, very, very (and I mean very, very, very) sluggish.Typing on the keyboard would give me approximately 1 character per second.Sometimes I even had to resort to using my…

Besides the C and C++ programming languages which most software developers use, various programming methods and languages are available for microcontroller programming.

Yesterday in Shanghai, Freescale Semiconductor made a significant announcement to bring their Kinetis EA series of MCUs into the automotive market.Thus far, ARM’s success in automotive has mainly been…
