Hi, I'm coming from the software part of computing and have very limited experience with the hardware part. When I tried to find the hardware for an embedded system (see below) the cheapest I could find was in the US$ 520 area. Is this the usual range for the described hardware or have I looked at the wrong web sites? power: * minimal power consumption is essential OS / drivers / ...

Hi. The programming interface changed from ISP to PDI on XMega controllers. The JTAG MKII can program and debug the XMegas via PDI with a software update, but only the newer hardware revisions seem to have the required hardware support. I'm not very happy to discard my current hardware and spend 300? for another one. So my question is: What are the hardware differences between the o...

Hi, I am looking for any datasheet or document giving the cache hardware circuit to implement the Least Recently Used algorithm in M-way set associative? I have checked Intel site but can't find any. My expectation is that the hardware will be considerably complex, so do the modern processor (pentium) implement the LRU thanks

Hi. I want to get my brain around USB interfaces, how to design the hardware and the software, and eventually to find what economic hardware solutions are available, and how USB hardware interfaces can be arranged to make the best use of generic USB drivers to minimise problems associated with driver installation. It's not something that I've been able to investigate in the time-limited pr...

What sorts of hooks can I include in my designs to allow run-time testing of 100BaseTX hardware? Obviously, I can monitor traffic, throughput, CRC errors, etc. to give me a feel for degradation of the overall link. But, what can I do to diagnose things like cabling problems and failures without impacting the quality of the link hardware "otherwise"? (think "built in cable tester") An...

Hi all , Can any one tell me a generic pattern to designing an interface between MCU(Configuring the Hardware ) and FPGA(used as an accelerator). My initial thoughts are to have a dual port RAM implemented in FPGA and accessed as a memory mapped device from the MCU and used to configure the Hardware. Is this viable ? is this the norm? Are there any tutorials on the net that can help(...

Dear Embedded folks, I am looking for guidance with selection of a hardware development platform and tools for a new project. The task is essentially to embed an Ethernet router in an existing system, which will consume some network traffic (TCP/IP) and forward the rest. As a first phase, we would like to get a working hardware platform for code development; later we roll our own hardware bas...
