Intro to Microcontrollers Part 2: AVR Microcontrollers
Introduction
This is part 2 of my playing around with AVR microcontrollers. Last time, I had a basic setup which could program an AVR using the Arduino ISP. I used it to drive a simple 7-segment, multiplexed 4-digit LED display. This is a follow up where I try out some of the other features the ATTiny24A has to offer. I also decided to invest some money in an AVR Dragon programmer/debugger so I'll go over some basic playing and setup with this device. I'll also discuss some of the problems...
Introduction to Deep Insight Analysis for RTOS Based Applications
Over the past several years, embedded systems have become extremely complex. As systems become more complex, they become harder and more time consuming to debug. It isn’t uncommon for development teams to spend more than 40% development cycle time just debugging their systems. This is where deep insight analysis has the potential to dramatically decrease costs and time to market.
Defining Deep Insight Analysis
Deep insight analysis is a set of tools and techniques that can be...
Essential Elements to choose a right Processor
Recently I was working for an automotive client where I was supposed to choose a suitable microcontroller for my project. I started listing down the various microcontrollers available in the market, finally I made a big list and it became tough to finalize the best one. Most of the selected controllers were meeting my requirements, and it was really a tough task to choose the right one.
Then I started listing down the aspects...
