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
