RISC-V is also known as “the Linux of CPUs.” For some, this title feels like a legacy and an innovation at the same time, especially if you are a staunch believer in open source. However, I am a true pragmatist, and the excessive marketing of RISC-V has made me lose interest in the term. It … Read more
| Source: SIMIT Strategic Research Office (ID: SIMITSRO) Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences The two major architectures of current CPUs are CISC (Complex Instruction Set) and RISC (Reduced Instruction Set). x86 is the representative architecture of CISC, occupying over 95% of the desktop computer and server market. Arm, as … Read more
This article is reprinted from the Extreme Community Extreme Column: Agile MM32 MCU Author:Nuoeriris The Arm processor is designed based on the principles of Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC). The instruction set and associated decoding mechanisms are relatively simple, featuring a 32-bit Arm instruction set and a 16-bit Thumb instruction set. The Arm instruction set … Read more
Source: Eefocus Original Author: Liu Haoran Introduction ✦ The main gap between RISC-V and ARM currently lies in the upstream and downstream industrial ecosystem and large-scale applications, which is the biggest challenge and difficulty facing the players in the RISC-V camp. ✦ ✦ We command computers to work, and we cannot simply say to the … Read more

Three commonly used programming languages for microcontrollers Machine Language Refers to programming directly using machine code, which can be executed directly by the computer. Assembly Language Refers to programming languages that use mnemonic codes to replace machine code. High-Level Language The … Read more
For embedded developers, understanding assembly language and core registers is the foundation for a deeper understanding of the kernel. I never expected there would be so much content when I started writing, and I hope to convey many valuable insights. I would like to especially thank Teacher Wei Dongshan for his videos, which are absolutely … Read more
Source: Chip Theory Abstract: Previous articles have mentioned that there are many classification methods for chips, with varieties as numerous as the stars in the night sky, making it impossible to enumerate them all. This article narrows the focus to high-end general-purpose chips, specifically CPUs. We will find that there are also many types of … Read more
