A Comprehensive Guide to SPI Protocol

A Comprehensive Guide to SPI Protocol

Does IIC support hot swapping? (With a detailed interpretation of CW32 IIC protocol) Have you learned it yet? After I finish these low-speed experiments, I will provide the debugging steps for the logic analyzer. IIC is done, next comes SPI, which is worth highlighting because the vast majority of devices use SPI; it’s practically ALL … Read more

SPI Interface Explanation and Principles

SPI Interface Explanation and Principles

01 【Introduction】 SPI: Serial Peripheral Interface, is a synchronous serial interface for device communication. SPI was developed by Motorola around 1985 and is suitable for short-distance, device-to-device communication. Since then, this interface has become a de facto standard adopted by many semiconductor manufacturers, especially microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs). 02 【SPI Interface】 The SPI bus … Read more

UART Communication Protocol Basics

UART Communication Protocol Basics

1. Introduction UART, full name Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, translated as Universal Asynchronous Transceiver. The emergence of serial ports was around 1980, with data transmission rates of 115kbps~ 230kbps. Initially, serial ports were used to connect computer peripherals, typically connecting mice, external Modems, and old cameras and graphics tablets. Serial ports can also be used for … Read more

Integrating Low-Power Bluetooth Functionality into General MCU Chips

Integrating Low-Power Bluetooth Functionality into General MCU Chips

In current microcontrollers, many older models lack Bluetooth module functionality, while new microcontrollers (MCUs) with Bluetooth modules are rarely featured in existing textbooks. Thus, after researching some materials, this article presents a method to add Bluetooth functionality to standard MCU chips, effectively addressing the integration of older microcontroller models with new technologies. 1. The Necessity … Read more

Opportunities and Challenges of NOR Flash in IoT

Opportunities and Challenges of NOR Flash in IoT

2018 is referred to as the explosion period for NB-IoT commercialization in China. In the past year, the three major domestic operators have achieved almost full coverage of the NB-IoT network. In addition, 40% of global operators are actively deploying business applications, with about 5.5 million devices connecting to the Internet of Things (IoT) daily. … Read more

Practical Guide to Running Applications on NOR FLASH Using MM32

Practical Guide to Running Applications on NOR FLASH Using MM32

At the beginning of project development, we select chips that meet the design requirements. Among these, RAM determines the memory size during program execution, while ROM determines the storage space for applications. However, for projects with particularly large application functions, the internal FLASH (ROM) storage space of the MCU may not be sufficient. At this … Read more

Optimizing In-Vehicle Entertainment System with HK32AUTO39A

Optimizing In-Vehicle Entertainment System with HK32AUTO39A

The in-vehicle entertainment system, as the name suggests, originally aimed to provide entertainment experiences for drivers and passengers. However, with the advent of the smart cockpit era, the in-vehicle information and entertainment system has become a crucial medium for “human-vehicle-environment” interaction, serving as the center for tasks other than driving. Functionally, the in-vehicle entertainment system … Read more
