To simplify integration, many of the early embedded NAND solutions used single-level cell (SLC) NAND, which stores one bit per cell, with a host microprocessor that included a NAND interface. The ...

Executing code directly from non-volatile memory, where it is stored, greatly simplifies compute architectures — especially for simple embedded devices like microcontrollers (MCUs). However, the ...

Back when I was deep into building embedded control systems (and snow was always 20 feet deep and going to and from school was up hill both ways), the use of dynamic memory allocation was forbidden.

The global market for Semiconductor Memory was valued at USD 125890 Million in the year 2024 and is projected to reach a revised size of USD 232900 Million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.3% during ...

For each embedded product, software developers need to consider whether they need an operating system; and if so, what type of an OS. Operating systems vary considerably, from real-time operating ...

“Built on the “Zen 4″ 5 nm core, the processors combine speed and performance while helping reduce both overall system energy costs and TCO. The series is comprised of 10 processor models with ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

The trend toward multi-core devices is well underway in PCs, but in embedded systems, there's more focus on augmenting single-core devices with an array of peripherals. As geometries shrink, the cost ...

Advanced Micro Devices announced the expansion of its x86 embedded processor portfolio with the introduction of 5th Gen AMD Epyc Embedded processors. AMD Epyc Embedded 9005 Series CPUs are optimized ...

The world of high-performance industrial applications has been invigorated with the announcement of AMD’s Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processor family. This announcement, made at Smart Production ...

Jazelle Extension Another way to speed Java execution on a standard RISC architecture is to extend the architecture itself, to directly execute Java instructions. ARM designers added a new Java ...
