As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive ...

Limiting the amount of RAM used by the TCP/IP stack in embedded systems improves the device’s security and reliability.

There are currently around 600 programming languages to choose from, so picking the one that’s right for you can be pretty difficult. But if you’re looking for a language that’s incredibly popular, ...

Fig 1. Core memory used to be ubiquitous. Fig 2. Texas Instruments’ 16-bit MSP430FR57xx looks like most microcontrollers except it only has one memory block. Magnetic memory such as core memory used ...
