Understanding The Complex Relationships Between MCU, ARM, DSP, FPGA, and Embedded Systems

Understanding The Complex Relationships Between MCU, ARM, DSP, FPGA, and Embedded Systems

First, “embedded” is a concept with no precise definition; different books provide their own definitions. However, the main idea is the same: compared to general systems like PCs, embedded systems are specialized systems, streamlined in structure, retaining only the necessary parts in hardware and software while eliminating the unnecessary ones. Therefore, embedded systems generally have … Read more
