Introduction The author has been involved in embedded software development for nearly five years, primarily using ARM Cortex M core series microcontrollers. During these five years, thanks to the existence of C language compilers, I was able to develop without touching assembly language; however, it seems that I have missed some scenery and have not … Read more
Click the blue text above Follow us! 1 Introduction The open-source architecture processor RISC-V[1] has been increasingly applied in embedded systems, with several processor manufacturers releasing RV32 architecture MCU in recent years. In April 2019, SiFive[2] released Freedom E310; in February 2020, GigaDevice[3] released RV32 MCU GD32VF103; Qinheng Microelectronics[4] released CH32V, CH32X, and CH32L series … Read more
When it comes to Joseph Yiu, many engineers are likely familiar with him. His bestselling series of books on ARM, such as “The Definitive Guide to ARM Cortex-M0” and “The Definitive Guide to ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4,” are said to be a must-have for many! As a Senior Embedded Technology Manager at ARM, Joseph Yiu … Read more
01 Programming Model The programming model of the Cortex-M processor family is highly consistent. For example, all Cortex-M processors support R0 to R15, PSR, CONTROL, and PRIMASK. Two special registers—FAULTMASK and BASEPRI—are only supported by Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, Cortex-M7, and Cortex-M33; the floating-point register set and FPSCR (Floating Point Status and Control Register) are used by … Read more
1. Script Today, I will primarily share a shell script that retrieves information about the CPU, memory, and disk I/O of a Linux system. #!/bin/bash # Get the local server IP address to monitor IP=`ifconfig | grep inet | grep -vE 'inet6|127.0.0.1' | awk '{print $2}'` echo "IP Address:"$IP # Get total number of CPU … Read more
Source: Chip Theory Abstract: The previous articles from the WeChat account “Chip Theory” mentioned that there are many classification methods for chips, with varieties as numerous as the stars in the night sky. This article narrows the scope of chips to focus on high-end general-purpose chips, specifically CPUs. We will find that there are also … Read more

1. Hardware Acceleration Options There are many hardware options available for accelerating neural network computations in embedded systems. As mentioned in Section 2, processing solutions should vary based on the target application and the expected requirements of the embedded system, such as performance, energy, power, heat, reliability, cost, size, etc. Hardware options include traditional processing … Read more
Getting Started with ZYNQ: Asymmetric Multi-Core Processing (AMP) In all the previous articles, we only used one ARM Cortex-A9 processor core (Core 0). However, the PS side contains two processor cores, and for many applications, we want to use both Zynq cores simultaneously for optimal performance. Using both Zynq processor cores for different tasks is … Read more
