Seamless Collaboration Between Rust and Python: 5 Zero-Copy Data Transfer Patterns

Introduction When you first rewrite Python’s performance bottlenecks in Rust, eagerly anticipating performance improvements, only to find that performance analysis shows 60% of the time wasted on hidden data copies—this experience can be both amusing and frustrating. In fact, when passing large-scale data between Python and Rust, boundary handling is more important than kernel algorithms. … Read more

Understanding the Differences Between PDMA and FIFO Mechanisms in SPI

A Brief Summary of Core Differences FIFO: A hardware buffer queue that primarily addresses the minor, short-term mismatches between MCU response speed and SPI communication speed, aiming to reduce the number of interrupts and improve the efficiency of each interrupt. PDMA: A data transfer engine that mainly solves the problem of freeing the CPU during … Read more

FreeRTOS Queue Communication Mechanism and Kernel Implementation

FreeRTOS Queue Communication Mechanism and Kernel Implementation

FreeRTOS provides various communication mechanisms for inter-task communication, including queues, semaphores, mutexes, event groups, and task notifications. Below is a detailed introduction to queues.Queues Queues support asynchronous data transfer between tasks and between tasks and ISRs. They can transfer any type of data and support multiple tasks sending data to the same queue, as well … Read more

Bus – DDR

Bus - DDR

We will provide a detailed introduction to the very important DDR bus. This is a comprehensive introduction from basic concepts to technical details. 1.What is the DDR bus? The DDR bus is an electronic channel used in computers to transfer data, addresses, and control commands between the memory controller (usually located within the CPU) and … Read more

STM32 UART DMA Transmission Mechanism with Code Example

STM32 UART DMA Transmission Mechanism with Code Example

1 Introduction Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a component used by the CPU to transfer data from one address space to another without CPU intervention. Once the data transfer is complete, the CPU is notified to process the data. Therefore, using DMA can free up CPU resources during large data transfers. Typical DMA data transfer … Read more

High-Speed Sampling and Conversion of ADC (Part 2)

High-Speed Sampling and Conversion of ADC (Part 2)

When performing ADC acquisition on STM32, the difference in time efficiency between using software (interrupt or polling) to transfer data and using DMA to transfer data is very significant. This difference is mainly reflected in CPU time consumption and system responsiveness, rather than the time taken for a single sampling conversion itself. For example, consider … Read more

Introduction to FlexRay Bus System

Introduction to FlexRay Bus System

FlexRay is a brand new bus and communication system, with a maximum data transfer rate of up to 10 MBit/s for each channel, making FlexRay a very high-speed communication system. The data transfer speed of FlexRay is significantly faster than the previously widely used data buses in the body, drive, and chassis areas (such as … Read more

FPGA Development SATA Protocol Manual: DMA in the SATA Transport Layer (Part 8)

FPGA Development SATA Protocol Manual: DMA in the SATA Transport Layer (Part 8)

Introduction In the SATA protocol, the essence of data transmission is the interaction of FIS (Frame Information Structure). Different FIS types are responsible for different aspects: some are for “notification”, some for “context configuration”, and others for “actual data transfer”. If we consider SATA as a highway, then these FIS are like traffic lights, road … Read more
