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...
A microcontroller is an integrated circuit (IC) which is small, low cost and self contained computer designed to handle a specific task in embedded systems. In simple words, a microcontroller (MCU or Microcontroller Unit) is a small computer integrated in to a single chip. We can also explain...
Packet Tracer 7.0 is provided as a .tar.gz package for Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) on Netacad website. Ubuntu 12.04 is supported for 32 bit installation. A source installer is embedded in the package. Installation as been reported to work on other linux distributions, but this setup is not off...
Peripherals: Depending on the intended application, a microcontroller may contain various peripheral components, such as I/O interfaces, timers, counters, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C). Lightweight, small and requiring comparatively low power, microcon...
The Seeeduino Mega is a powerful microcontroller derived from the Arduino Mega. However, it is 30% smaller. It features the ATmega2560 processor and very rich peripherals: 70 digital I/O, 16 analog inputs, 14 PWM, and 4 UART. It is suitable for projects that require many digital inputs ...
To help translate the signals from the CPU to the automated process through a USB port, an additional chip is needed. On the microcontroller, the signal can be retrieved using synchronous serial peripherals like UART. Analog To Digital Peripherals When converting an analog signal into digital ...
Q: What are the main hardware components in an embedded system? A: The core hardware components include the CPU (microprocessor or microcontroller), memory devices, I/O interfaces, power supply, clocks, and custom ICs/accelerators tailored for the application. Q: How is hardware/software partitio...
These UART controllers and LCD controllers are called peripherals. Combining them with the CPU on one board is the function implemented by a current K60 chip, but they are integrated into a small chip. The peripherals here refer to the inside of the system board, the peripherals outside the...
In RS-485 communication systems, universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) protocol is widely used. In this protocol, all data is transferred bit by bit, while the last bit is a stop bit which is normally high and the line idles as a logic high afterwords. As the THVD14x6's ...
Today, you ought to have heard of the PIC microcontroller, particularly if you’re an embedded system engineer or a PCB designer. It’s the popular line of microcontroller that is currently manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. The PIC microcontroller was introduced in 1993 by Microchip althoug...
