Embedded Software Insight
In this article we’ll look at some well-known CPU benchmarks, namely CoreMARK, Dhrystone, Whetstone and Linpack. Following that, we’ll look at the memory bandwidth and latency of the external DDR memory, On-Chip RAM and block RAM (BRAM) in the FPGA. Finally, we’ll round up with numbers on interrupt latency.
Over the course of this article, we’ll go through the variations of the protocol used by QSPI NOR Flash devices. We’ll start simple, with the basic SPI protocol then move through the variations to reach some of the more complicated QIO, QPI and DDR variations.
In this guide we go over creating a debug configuration for the IAR C-SPY debugger using the IAR Eclipse plugin. This guide is the fourth and last of a series on setting up and using the IAR Embedded Workbench tools within the Eclipse IDE.
In this guide we’ll look at how to setup a Makefile project using the IAR Eclipse Plugin. When using a Makefile project in Eclipse CDT the user is responsible for providing a suitable Makefile to build the application or library.
How to write a Makefile for the IAR Embedded Workbench toolchain on Windows. With examples for building an application or a static library with all the basic make rules to compile, assemble and link a project.
This is part 2 of a series of step-by-step guide on setting up and using the IAR Embedded Workbench within the Eclipse IDE. Using the tools installed in part 1 this article will guide the reader on how to create a C/C++ managed build project within Eclipse using the IAR Eclipse Plugin.
In this new series of guides, we’ll look at how to setup and use the IAR Eclipse plugin. The current article will focus on tools installations and configurations. Future articles will go over managed build and Makefile projects as well as debugging.
A look at the evolution of Express Logic X-Ware and ThreadX into Microsoft Azure RTOS. Looking back at previous acquisitions of embedded software companies and what’s different with Microsoft.
In this second part of this guide on how to set up an embedded GCC toolchain within Eclipse on Linux, we’ll pick up on where we left off at the end of Part 1. We’ll take a look at workspace configuration and creating both managed and Makefile based projects.
This guide is the first part of a Linux version of the guide we previously wrote dealing with setting up an embedded software toolchain within Eclipse. This guide is targeted at readers who need to set up a GCC toolchain within a vanilla Eclipse installation.
