1. Introduction to Microcontrollers: The Fog and Breakthrough of C Language Entering the world of microcontrollers, many students first face the steep learning curve of the C language. Opening Keil, the screen filled with if, else, for, while statements feels like a secret code, and long variable names like GPIO_InitTypeDef and Delay_ms can be daunting. … Read more
Recently,I often hear this question: Teacher,C is it too old? Will it hinder the development of microcontrollers? Now with Python and some new languages, is learning C a waste of time? 1.The C language indeed has its quirks. It is easy to make mistakes, such as misusing pointers, array out-of-bounds, forgetting to free memory… These … Read more
TinyML Market Status TinyML (Tiny Machine Learning) is a technology that runs machine learning models on resource-constrained microcontrollers and edge devices. The goal is to implement efficient machine learning algorithms on devices with low power, low memory, and low computational resources to support real-time data processing and decision-making. Remi El-Ouazzane, President of STMicroelectronics’ Microcontroller and … Read more
In embedded development, delay functions are fundamental operations. However, when faced with microsecond-level precision requirements, the choice between loop delays and timer solutions directly affects system stability. 1. Loop Delay: A Legacy from the Bare-Metal Era Implementation Principle: Consumes CPU cycles through no-operation instructions (such as NOP) or decrement loops. Critical Flaw: Precision fluctuation > … Read more
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone unprecedented expansion in recent years. The dissemination of AI tools has transcended the boundaries of data centers and high-performance devices, entering embedded systems, from IoT sensors and portable medical devices to the most complex industrial applications. Running AI models effectively in embedded environments faces certain limitations due to a lack … Read more

01 Course Introduction The C language is a general-purpose computer programming language that is widely used. The design goal of C is to provide a programming language that can be easily compiled, handle low-level memory, generate minimal machine code, and run without any runtime environment support. A C program written to standard specifications can be … Read more
Abstract To meet the hardware requirements of ISO 26262, this study provides a detailed method for assessing the functional safety of automotive microcontrollers. Part 5 of ISO 26262 – the first phase of hardware construction in automotive hardware development outlines safety standards. Here, hardware safety design is created, implemented, integrated, and tested based on the … Read more
