How to Implement Layered Management of Applications and Hardware in MCU Projects

This article mainly shares an open-source management module that helps achieve layered management of applications and hardware in an MCU project. Nowadays, project requirements are more complex, which naturally imposes stricter demands than before. From a technical perspective, I still recommend that everyone should maintain a layered structure (application and driver) in their projects. This … Read more

3 Ways to Program Microcontrollers (ISP, ICP, IAP)

3 Ways to Program Microcontrollers (ISP, ICP, IAP)

A microcontroller is a type of programmable controller that, after setting up the hardware circuit, can use programs to implement many very complex logical functions. Compared to pure hardware circuits, it simplifies the design of hardware peripherals, facilitates logical design, and enriches logical outputs. Different manufacturers of microcontrollers require different programming IDEs to achieve programming. … Read more
