Decoding Automotive Embedded Chips: CPU, MCU, SBC

As automotive electronic control systems gradually develop towards centralization, the complexity of software is constantly increasing. Chips, as the core carrier of electrification and intelligence in vehicles, are becoming increasingly important. For autonomous driving systems, the implementation of technology relies on the real-time processing of a large amount of sensor data, requiring deep learning and … Read more

History of Development Boards and Their Differences from SBCs

History of Development Boards and Their Differences from SBCs

In recent years, the term “development board” has nearly disappeared, overshadowed by countless other hardware board terms used to describe development purposes, such as “demonstration board,” “evaluation kit,” and “reference design.” In this article, we will explain the meaning of the term “development board” (Figure 1) and show how they differ from closely related single-board … Read more

Embedded Development: Understanding MCU Power Up and Down

Embedded Development: Understanding MCU Power Up and Down

In engineering, there are many issues related to sleep and wake-up. In the vehicle’s network topology, many nodes have similar problems. For example: Reusing SPI leads to communication loss, nodes cannot sleep, node startup time exceeds the required time, nodes occasionally cannot wake up, and so on. These engineering issues are sometimes viewed as network … Read more
