Azure RTOS runs on STM32 MCUs
STMicroelectronics has extended support for Microsoft Azure RTOS in the STM32Cube development environment, covering additional high performance, mainstream, ultra-low-power, and wireless microcontrollers (MCUs) from the STM32 family. Users can leverage the qualities of Azure RTOS the convenience of STM32Cube, and the flexibility of the STM32 family to optimize MCU properties now choosing from over 700 MCUs in […]
Secure RTOS works with imaging radar processors
Green Hills Software announced its support for imaging radar processors from NXP Semiconductors targeting automotive ADAS and autonomous applications. Through a technology partnership, the companies offer an integrated and scalable solution that brings together the industry’s first dedicated 16nm imaging radar processor, the NXP S32R45, with the pre-certified safety and security of the INTEGRITY real-time […]
How does embedded software work?
Embedded software is specialized programming on a chip, such as a microcontroller (MCU), or in firmware in an embedded MCU, to control its functions. Unlike general computer applications, designed to be installed on various computer systems or modified to provide varying levels of functionality, embedded software is generally purpose-built for a single hardware environment and […]
Driver monitoring system platform optimized to run on latest automotive-grade MPUs
Tata Elxsi announced their collaboration for a Driver Monitoring System (DMS) platform that combines advanced DMS software (V.O.E.O.S.Y.S)(1) and AUTOSAR Adaptive from Tata Elxsi integrated with the safe and secure INTEGRITY real-time operating system (RTOS) from Green Hills Software optimized to run on the latest families of automotive-grade microprocessors. This flexible and standards-based DMS platform enables OEMs and Tier […]
New RTOS features cycle-resolution timing
SEGGER introduces embOS-Ultra, a revolutionary new RTOS using Cycle-resolution Timing, completely eliminating the periodic tick interrupt used by traditional RTOS. Scheduling of all time-based events, such as timeouts, delays, and periodic timers, can now be specified in microseconds or CPU cycles. Cycle-resolution Timing technology replaces ad-hoc, target-specific techniques for precise timing with clean and consistent […]
Introduction to Raspberry Pi 4
Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized, single-board computer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK-based charity that works to ensure global access to computing and digital technology. It was initially developed as a low-cost microcomputer to impart digital skills to kids. It comes without any power supply or peripherals as it’s meant to be programmed […]
Display shield leverages 32-bit MCUs for HMI designs
The new STM32 Nucleo display shield from STMicroelectronics leverages the affordability of STM32G0 microcontrollers (MCUs). The new X-NUCLEO- GFX01M1 SPI shield is supported in the latest TouchGFX software, version 4.15.0, which introduces additional new features including support for low-cost non-memory-mapped SPI Flash ICs. Designing with STM32G0 and TouchGFX lets developers target a bill of materials as low as […]
SDK for AIoT includes freeRTOS libraries
XMOS announces its all-new software development kit (SDK) for the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT). Incorporating TensorFlowLite for Microcontroller development tools, the SDK is designed to harness xcore.ai’s versatility and make it easier for engineers to develop connected products that can sense, think, decide, and act. The kit equips developers with standardized tools and resources […]
MCUs target IoT apps with crypto engine capability
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the expansion of its RA6 Series microcontrollers (MCUs) with nine new RA6M4 Group MCUs, increasing the RA Family to 42 MCUs. These 32-bit MCUs boost operating performance up to 200 MHz using the Arm Cortex-M33 core based on Armv8-M architecture with Arm TrustZone technology. The RA6M4 MCUs deliver optimized performance together […]
