Using a Real-time Operating System in MCU Applications
Today’s MCUs (microcontrollers) are sophisticated enough to run an operating system, but they cannot run Windows, Linux or Linux variants due to the required resources. As a result, a wide range of MCU applications are based ...
The Difference Between a DSP Microcontroller and a Processor?
DSP processors and microcontrollers are microprocessors that are programmed to execute specific tasks or applications as assigned by their user. Though they are different, they both operate by manipulating a device’s binary data. DSP ...
Built-in RTOS Security for Connected Embedded Devices
Built-in RTOS security features were originally introduced to secure deployed military systems. However, today they are widely used in all industries that must secure the functionality of connected devices. The widespread use of ...
