Understanding Embedded Parallel Multithreading Processors

Hello everyone, I am the Mixed Bag Master. Recently, a friend gave me a small board, and the MCU on the board is a very interesting thing – the parallel multithreading processor MC3172. In simple terms, this MCU internally implements functionalities similar to RTOS multithreading. However, the biggest difference between MC3172 programming and RTOS programming … Read more

Understanding ARM Processor Architecture: A Comprehensive Guide

1态Embedded Processor Basics A typical microprocessor consists of a control unit, program counter (PC), instruction register (IR), data channels, memory, etc. The instruction execution process is generally divided into: Fetch: Obtain the next instruction to be executed from memory into the instruction register; PC: Program Counter, always points to the next instruction to be executed; … Read more

Understanding CPUs in Embedded Development

CPU is an important part of digital processing systems. In my view, microcontrollers, microprocessors, and DSPs can all be referred to as CPUs, with their emphasis differing. Specifically, traditional microcontrollers are more focused on embedded computing, such as the commonly used 51, AVR, and ARM chips, which not only contain computational and control functions but … Read more

Technical Challenges and Opportunities in Embedded Machine Learning Processors

In December 2016, Vivienne Sze, Yu-Hsin Chen, and others (authors of Eyeriss) published a good review article titled “Hardware for Machine Learning: Challenges and Opportunities” on arXiv. Here, I would like to discuss my understanding of the “challenges” and “opportunities” in conjunction with this article [8] and the ISSCC2017 paper [1-7]. First, this discussion mainly … Read more

How to Design a Mixed Circuit PCB with High-Speed USB, Embedded Processor, and Analog/RF?

Recently, I watched a detailed explanation of circuit design by Philip Salmony, a graduate student from Cambridge University, on YouTube. The project is called the STM32-based RF to USB adapter, abbreviated as STRF, which includes: High-speed USB interface STM32L4 as the controller nRF24 2.4GHz RF transceiver Of course, he designed it using KiCad, and his … Read more
