I want to push a bit stream through a series of *identical* devices and have (identical) software running on each determine if that particular device is being addressed, or not. It seems like the simplest way to do so is to require each device to examine an address field in the packet and, if '0', assume the data that follows is intended for its consumption. If not, decrement the address ...

I need to reproduce a short audio stream with a Cortex-M0+ MCU (it's SAM D21E from Atmel/Microchip). The audio bitstream will be stored in an external SPI Flash memory (I need to manage many short audio streams, so the internal Flash memory is not sufficient). SAMD21 features DAC, SPI and DMA. The audio will not be high-fidelity. 8 bits at 8kHz sampling frequency is enough. I didn't m...

I don't know if it is an issue specific to Atmel SAMC21 Cortex-M0+ devices or not. I wrote a simple timer driver: a 32-bits hw counter clocked at 875kHz (14MHz/16) that triggers an interrupt on overflow (every 1h 21'). In the interrupt I increment the 32-bits global variable _ticks_high. The 64-bits number composed by _ticks_high (upper 32-bits) and the hw counter (lower 32-bits) is m...

Sometimes it's necessary to float a notion just so that someone can affirm your suspicion that yes, you really are an idiot. On the off chance that I'm a genius, though, here goes: I don't like putting "printf" in fast tasks for obvious reasons -- even with infinite spooling, it can take time to process a format string. In my usual context, this can result in audible sounds from motor...

CALL FOR PAPERS IWOMP 2017 - 13th International Workshop on OpenMP September 20-22, 2017 Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY, USA http://www.iwomp.org == Background For many years, the OpenMP API has provided a very rich and flexible programming model for shared memory architectures. OpenMP 4.0 is a major advance that adds new forms of parallelism: device constructs=2

I'm discussing the data line pullup on a USB dev with someone and I'm not clear on one thing... or maybe two. The pullup is added to one or the other of the two differential data lines to indicate the speed of the interface being either low or full. This pullup is supposed to be 1.5 kohms to 3.3 volts. Once the pullup is detected is there any need to remove it? It does create a sligh...
