Histogram of access latency for random memory access on a Cortex-A9.

ARM Cortex-A Interrupt Latency

In this article, I’ll explore the interrupt latency, also known as interrupt response time, of an ARM Cortex-A9 under various scenarios — and yes, it’s still on the Xilinx Zynq-7000, since I still have that board on my desk from the last two articles. An upcoming follow-up article will describe methods of improving worst case

Embedded Storage on the snickerdoodle

This is a continuation of the snickerdoodle adventure, following last week’s successful “hello world” , using Micrium’s µC/OS RTOS. In this series of articles, I’m exploring the capabilities of the snickerdoodle as a development platform for high performance real-time operating systems. This time, I will be running an embedded file system on the snickerdoodle module, enabling

snickerdoodle says Hello World!

What would make a better first post about embedded software than a hello world project on a brand-new development board. It’s the krtkl snickerdoodle I received with much excitement last week. The SoM is based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC along with storage and wifi on the SoM. In these next series of articles, I’m
