1IntroductionImagine if the MCU we work with only runs bare-metal programs; when it reaches a thread that includes a delay, our CPU would start to “idle”.To maximize CPU utilization, we need to use an RTOS (Real-Time Operating System). In simple terms, an RTOS is an operating system that schedules all available resources to complete real-time … Read more
(Source: man)In April 1985, a small team at Acorn Computers in Cambridge, UK, began rethinking the concept of processors. Engineers Sophie Wilson and Steve Furber developed the ARM1 (which originally stood for Advanced RISC Machine), a modest chip that contained only 25,000 transistors. The ARM1 powered the BBC Micro, creating a 32-bit processor that emphasized … Read more
