This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

When developing software for small microcontrollers, it is common to use assembly language in the final product. But there is still much value in prototyping the software and its algortihms in C. Here ...

People tend to stick with the microcontroller unit they are most familiar with. However, on-device Gen AI introduces resource ...

ARC's Tangent-core processor is unique among microcontrollers, but companies are starting to move their microcontroller offerings in Tangent's direction. The ARC core provides 30 base instructions, ...

Cortus, which licenses small 32-bit cores, has upgraded its instruction set and launched two new cores which use the new one. Why upgrade? “Embedded applications have got more complex,” replies Cortus ...

Microcontrollers exist in almost everything, but can RISC-V satisfy the needs of this market? Is it small enough to replace 8-bit processors? What might help people migrate to a more modern processor ...

CAMBRIDGE, England — Processor core licensor ARM Holdings plc has launched the Cortex-M3 processor, intended as a low-cost 32-bit microcontroller, although the core is not set to appear in silicon ...

Surprise from the Raspi developers: The RP2350 chip of the Pico 2 is not only more powerful than the RP2040, but also has alternatively usable RISC-V cores. The Raspberry Pi developers present the ...
