A microcontroller is embedded inside of a system to control a single function in a device. It uses its central processor to interpret data it receives from its I/O peripherals. The information that the microcontroller receives is temporarily stored in its data memory, where the processor accesses...
This process can be performed in several ways, depending on the specific requirements of the device and the flash memory chip being programmed. As we have explained before, flash memory is a solid type memory, which means that the program we saved on the microcontroller remains even if the ...
Firstly, the startup file of TM4C123G microcontroller defines the stack area section and stack size in RAM memory. In this line, EQU is a assembler directive and it works similar to #define directive of c language. This line define a constant named “Stack_Size” with the value of 0x00...

Memory: Microcontrollers contain both volatile memory (RAM), which stores temporary data that may be lost if the system loses power, and non-volatile flash memory (ROM) for storing the microcontroller’s programming code. Peripherals: Depending on the intended application, a microcontroller may conta...
Inside a Microcontroller As we explained above, a microcontroller is embedded with different elements like CPU, RAM, ROM etc. CPU CPU is analogous to processor in a computer, which basically consists of Arithmetical and Logical Unit (ALU), Control Unit and Register Array. As the name indicates...
In summary, the interrupt vector table is an array of function pointers that points to the starting address of exception or interrupt handlers of a microcontroller or microprocessor. IVT usually stores at the starting addresses of flash or code memory. ...
an MPU is an obvious choice. Conversely, a tiny software that wakes up occasionally to check a sensor’s value or that needs a deterministic response time of a few nanoseconds will use a microcontroller.Hence, in many instances, the “end justifies the means”.Put simply, an engineer will ...
The configuration below shows how easy it is to deploy an OVA packages virtual machine on the IOX router : 1. On the router, download ova file via tftp: Router#copy tftp flash Address or name of remote host []? 172.1.1.2 Source filename []? vm1.ova ...
If we will go back to history the 8051 microcontroller was first invented in the year 1980 by themicroprocessorgiant Intel and gradually it has been accepted worldwide and with the every coming days the importance of the 8051 microcontroller is escalating. When it was invented by the Intel, it...
