1. Overview of Buses The computer system is centered around the microprocessor, and all devices must connect to the microprocessor and work in coordination. Therefore, the concept of a bus is introduced in the microprocessor, where all devices share the bus, and at any given time, only one device can send data (multiple devices can … Read more
The MSP430 microcontroller is a microcontroller launched by Texas Instruments (TI) in 1996. It is a 16-bit ultra-low-power microcontroller with a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) architecture. However, many beginners are not very familiar with the MSP430 compared to other microcontrollers like the 51 and STM32. Below, we will explain the MSP430 microcontroller, hoping to … Read more
It is well known that microcontrollers are the core of embedded development. To master microcontrollers, the choice of programming language is also crucial. However, if you have explored the programming languages for different microcontrollers, you will find that most people use C language. There is even a saying that “microcontrollers cannot do without C language.” … Read more
