When programming microcontrollers, we know there are two basic operations: bare metal and operating systems. Bare metal means a large loop running repeatedly. Today, we will discuss several commonly used operating systems. A Real-time Operating System (RTOS) runs tasks in order, manages system resources, and provides a consistent foundation for developing applications. Compared to general … Read more
Overview of Embedded Systems //From Hardware Perspective：“Embedded” integrates peripheral devices based on the CPU into the CPU chip itself. For example, early computers based on the X86 architecture had CPUs that only performed computation and accumulation functions. All chips needed external bridges to expand functionality, such as serial ports that relied on external 16C550/2 serial … Read more
Currently,X86 and ARM architectures are recognized as the two most outstanding architectures in the commercialization process. Previously, we introduced the X86 architecture, and today we will introduce another architecture that has been on fire for nearly a decade, ARM. ARM architecture, formerly known as Advanced RISC Machine (earlier known as: Acorn RISC Machine), is a … Read more
At the recently concluded CES 2016, major chip manufacturers and device manufacturers engaged in a fierce competition in the air, making drones a hot new product. The reason is that if drones are positioned solely as consumer products, their market capacity is quite limited, and manufacturers’ enthusiasm would not be so high. However, as demand … Read more
Word Count: 6000 Practical Index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This question is asked very frequently, and I personally agree with the following answer: “Microcontrollers are now classified under embedded systems, but embedded systems have clear definitions. A system with a computer architecture is called an embedded system. A microcontroller is simply the CPU part of an embedded system. … Read more
Those working in the field of computer or electronic information must have heard of embedded systems and microcontrollers, right? Many people should know that these two terms are closely related to hardware systems. Just hearing them makes one think of circuit boards filled with chips and pins: However, if you ask what exactly embedded systems … Read more
Anyone working in information technology must have heard of embedded systems and microcontrollers. These two terms are closely related to hardware systems. However, if you ask what exactly embedded systems are and what microcontrollers are, and what the differences between them are, I believe most people would not be able to explain clearly. Today, I … Read more
Article Word Count: 8000 Content Index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Many beginners, and even some seasoned professionals who have been in the field for years, often complain about the intense competition in the electronics industry. Feeling dejected only stifles one’s passion; without passion, working in electronics is just a waste of life. Is the competition really that fierce? … Read more

Dragging my weary body home, Xia Tian bounced out of the house, smiling happily: “You’re back!~” The man loosened the collar of his shirt, looking disgusted as he dodged: “What do you want again? I told you, I really hate you.” Xia Tian stood there, awkwardly rubbing her hands: “But you also said you liked … Read more
