The future’s cheap and yellow.

Recently, I stumbled upon a cool write-up by [DHowett], about reprogramming a Framework laptop’s Embedded Controller (EC). He shows us how to reuse the Caps Lock LED, instead making it indicate the F1 ...

Microprocessor is the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of embedded system. It does arithmetic and logic operations of the digital binary data.Very old embedded systems circuit/board was generally made up ...

A new microcontroller (MCU) from Freescale Semiconductor aims to simplify embedded software development for both experienced engineers and novices alike. The MCU, which includes software and tools ...

In the last several posts, we’ve started to explore Embedded Rust. You’ve seen that the Cortex-M QuickStart Template is a great place to start. A generic template, though, isn’t going to help you ...

Microcontrollers have proliferated into every nook and cranny of our daily lives from simple 8-bit devices that control our toaster ovens to powerful 32-bit DSPs that provide us with the rich media ...

C is a beautiful language perfectly suited for development on low-power devices such as the 8-bit microcontrollers. With newer, more powerful ARM microcontrollers making their way onto the market and ...

The Xport 2.0 lets you take advantage of millions of dollars worth of Nintendo hardware engineering in the Game Boy Advance, turning it into a user-programmable embedded microcontroller for directing ...
