The Lifespan of a Computer: How Long Can It Last?

Computers can be used indefinitely as long as they don’t break down, but they are likely to fail due to the aging and damage of various components on the motherboard, such as capacitors. Many of my colleagues are still using old computers, with quite a few around 10 years old. However, compared to what many netizens have at home or in their offices, these might not be considered old at all. After all, there are still people using products from

Introduction to Embedded Processors
Embedded processors are the core of embedded systems, serving as the hardware unit that controls and assists system operations. Their range is extremely vast, from the initial 4-bit processors to the 8-bit microcontrollers that are still widely used today, to the latest 32-bit and 64-bit embedded CPUs that are increasingly favored.
Since the advent of microprocessors, embedded systems have developed rapidly, and embedded processors are undoubtedly

Origin of μC/OS
The story of μC/OS began in 1989 when the founderJean J.Labrosseparticipated in a Dynalco control project and started designing a new ignition control system based on a microprocessor for large industrial reciprocating engines.
Initially, J.Labrosse planned to achieve this

Optimizing General Processing, Sensing, and Control with Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU

The microcontroller (MCU) in embedded systems is like the air traffic control system at a busy airport. The MCU can sense its working environment, take appropriate action based on the sensed results, and communicate with related systems. The MCU can manage and control signals in almost all electronic devices, from digital thermometers to smoke detectors to HVAC motors.

To ensure the economic efficiency and lifespan

Design Recommendations for ESD/EMI Protection in RK3588 Products

ESD: Electro-Static Discharge refers to the release of static electricity. Static electricity is a natural phenomenon that usually occurs through contact, friction, or induction between electrical devices. It is characterized by long-term accumulation, high voltage (which can reach thousands or even tens of thousands of volts), low charge, small current, and a short duration of action, often causing instability in electronic products or even damage.

EMI: Electromagnetic Interference refers to the disruption caused by electromagnetic waves. In high-speed PCB and system

How to Install Desktop Linux on Windows for FPGA Development

Running EDA tools like Vivado on Linux is significantly faster than on Windows, likely due to optimization issues. Therefore, choosing to develop on Linux is a wise choice (mainly because it's free). In China, people are accustomed to the Windows system, so Linux is less commonly used. Is there a way to work on documents in Windows while also developing for FPGA on Linux?

How to Expand OpenWrt Overlay and Enable Swap

What is Overlay

Squashfs (.sfs) is a GPL open-source read-only compressed file system for Linux kernels. Squashfs can compress files, inodes, and directory structures within the file system.

Squashfs is designed specifically for general use in read-only file systems and can be applied to data backup or on computers with limited system resources.

The file system commonly used by OpenWRT is SquashFS, so it is recommended to download firmware that uses this file system.

The characteristics of this file system are: read-only and compressed.

Introduction to DFSDM Applications in STM32

Introduction

The STM32L4 series chips based on the Cortex M4 core in the ultra-low-power STM32 series integrate the DFSDM digital filter module, which, when used in conjunction with Σ-Δ devices, can perform high-precision and high-speed AD measurements. This article provides a basic introduction to DFSDM and demonstrates a practical application with the STM32L4 MCU.
