Understanding the Complex Relationships Among MCU, ARM, DSP, FPGA, and Embedded Systems

Understanding the Complex Relationships Among MCU, ARM, DSP, FPGA, and Embedded Systems

First, the term ’embedded’ is a concept without a precise definition, as each book offers its interpretation. However, the main idea is the same: compared to general systems like PCs, embedded systems are specialized systems with a streamlined structure, retaining only the necessary hardware and software while discarding the unnecessary parts. Therefore, embedded systems generally … Read more
