[Disassembly] Monument This is a low-power Bluetooth device, and this tiny circuit board integrates six types of sensors. Let’s see what it can transmit. ▽ It is called “Monument” because it looks like a stone tablet. ▽ Stripped of its fancy attire, revealing the transparent “xq underwear”. ▽ Shyly turning away. ▽ Screwless design for … Read more
I often use ZYNQ, and I access FPGA registers through Linux. Recently, I experimented with the Xilinx XC7K325 development board KC705, which is a pure FPGA without ARM. So how do we access FPGA registers? I2C transmits one byte and responds each time, without the need for an additional feedback mechanism; SPI sends and receives … Read more
Hello everyone, I am Goat.I2C signals are a very common type of signal. It is a two-wire serial bidirectional bus used to connect microcontrollers and external devices. Because it only requires two pins (CLK and DATA), the hardware implementation is simple and highly scalable, making it widely used for communication between multiple integrated circuits ICs … Read more
1. Introduction The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C) is a widely used low-speed, two-wire communication protocol designed for communication between integrated circuits. In embedded systems, I²C is commonly used to connect sensors, EEPROMs, ADCs, and other peripherals. [VxWorks 7] introduces a modern, scalable, and modular driver framework built on VxBus, supporting dynamic driver registration, device tree integration, … Read more
Recently, a reader asked a question: What communication technologies should one master when working with microcontrollers?With the development of technology, there are more and more communication technologies, but in the embedded field, the common communication technologies are actually not many, such as UART, I²C, SPI, CAN, USB, and TCP/IP, which are the most common.These communication … Read more
To join the hardware electronics learning group, reply with “Join Group“. Sometimes, when a circuit needs to implement a master-slave communication setup, the commonly used communication protocols are SPI, I2C, or RS485 bus forms. Among these, I2C is the simplest and most convenient for on-board communication, requiring only two wires to establish a bus. However, … Read more
The following is a source code example of simulating an I2C (IIC) controller using the C language, suitable for general microcontroller platforms (here, it simulates the operation of GPIO pin operations to implement the SCL and SDA lines). The code implements the basic functions of I2C, including initialization, start signal, stop signal, sending acknowledgment bits, … Read more
Classification and analysis of common English vocabulary in embedded systems1. Hardware-related TermsASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) – A chip designed for specific application requirements, commonly used in high-performance, low-power scenarios. Address Bus (地址总线) – An electronic circuit that connects the processor to external devices, used for addressing memory space or peripheral registers. DMA (Direct Memory Access) … Read more
Introduction A few years ago, I heard about a creative door lock project: the user holds a sensing device and waves it in a specific manner. Once the device recognizes the action, it unlocks the door. This action becomes a form of key. I broke down this project into hardware and software components. The hardware … Read more
