In most cases, application code can be written in C or other high-level languages. However, having a basic understanding of the instruction set supported by Cortex-M processors helps developers choose the right Cortex-M processor for specific applications. The instruction set (ISA) is part of the processor architecture, and Cortex-M processors can be divided into several … Read more
Most applications using Cortex-M3/M4 MCUs are portable and powered by batteries or energy harvesting systems. Therefore, most of the concepts discussed in this article involve how to reduce overall system energy consumption. However, in many cases, these energy-saving technologies are also powerful tools for processor application design, providing more cost-effective solutions, greater design redundancy for … Read more
Want to use FPGA to create your own CPU? A few years ago, it was the era of MIPS and RISC, and making a MIPS or RISC processor on FPGA was the dream of every beginner in FPGA. Then, RISC-V created a huge wave, but currently, commercially available RISC-V products are quite rare, and the … Read more
