Debouncing button or switch inputs on microcontrollers can be a challenging problem for those first starting to program these devices. Part of the reason for this difficulty is that real-world buttons ...

Setting up interrupts properly on a microcontroller isn't easy. The number of times an engineer has set up interrupts in his or her career doesn't seem to make a difference. Configuring interrupts ...

Interruptions aren’t just a staple of our daily lives. They’re also crucial for making computer systems work as well as they do, as they allow for a system to immediately respond to an event. While on ...

Microcontroller units (MCUs) are single-chip computers optimized for performing embedded computing tasks like controlling a ...

As portable systems become increasingly power-conscious, the need for smart power management becomes equally important. Besides the main processor, an auxiliary Microcontroller Unit (MCU) often ...

A technical paper titled “CV32RT: Enabling Fast Interrupt and Context Switching for RISC-V Microcontrollers” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich and University of Bologna. “Processors using the ...

Developing Internet-connected device applications is a daunting task for embedded-systems designers. Few have more than a limited knowledge of the Internet Protocol and the various related protocols ...
