Tencent Digital News (Translated by: Duo Duo) According to foreign media reports, Apple’s chip foundry TSMC is collaborating with ARM to develop a 7nm manufacturing process, which is likely to be seen in future products such as the iPhone and iPad. According to registration documents, this technology will enter the early production phase as early … Read more
1. Basic Structure of Embedded Microprocessors (1) An embedded hardware system generally consists of an embedded microprocessor, memory, and input/output components. (2) The embedded microprocessor is the core of the embedded hardware system and typically consists of three main parts: control unit, arithmetic logic unit, and registers: A. Control Unit: Responsible for basic operations such … Read more
In the past, low power consumption and high computing power processors were clearly distinct. For example, Arm, which originated from Acorn, was fundamentally based on low power consumption — in the early years of the ARM instruction set development, it was hardly considered to compete with high-performance instruction sets like x86 or POWER. To the … Read more
Development boards are actually quite interesting, as they are commonly found in our daily lives. A development board is a circuit board based on a chip, designed to facilitate our development work. This means that, theoretically, any device controlled by a program and chip will have a development board used during its research and development … Read more

Today, I will share knowledge related to OTG. 01 [OTG Interface and Converters] OTG is short for “On The Go”, which can be understood as “plug and play”.USB transmission has a master-slave structure, and all USB transmissions are initiated by the Host.. You can insert a USB flash drive into the development board, at which … Read more
Previous Articles: Introduction to ARM Processors 1 – Overview Introduction This article is the second part of the introduction series on ARM processors, mainly introducing some basic technologies and concepts of modern superscalar out-of-order processors. We will take the Cortex-A9 processor as an example to see which technologies are used to enhance performance, laying the … Read more
Since its official establishment in 1990, ARM has continuously made breakthroughs in the field of 32-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer CPU) development, evolving its architecture from V3 to V7. As ARM has always sold intellectual property (IP) to major semiconductor manufacturers without engaging in chip production and sales itself, and due to the significant … Read more
In the last issue, we introduced some mainstream router CPUs: 【Router Series】 Introduction to Mainstream Router CPUs 1 This issue will complete the remaining information, but they are mostly mid-to-high-end routers, so enjoy reading. 1: BCM4906/4908 These two chips are the true successors of the 470x series, adopting the ARMv8 A53 architecture, with a frequency … Read more
