Intelr Quarktm micrcontroller D2000 based Environmental sensors board

Intel(r) Quark(tm) micrcontroller D2000 based Environmental sensors board

Introduction This is a fairly small (51 x 51 mm) board, equipped with a low power Intel Quark D2000 microcontroller, and several sensors (accelerator, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure), as well as a mikroBUS compatible header and a Grove compatible connectors, that can be used to connect additional sensors, memory, or radio modules. The board can

USB FOR INTEL’S MX10 AND SPIDERSOM MODULES

USB FOR INTEL’S MX10 AND SPIDERSOM MODULES

MX10 and SpiderSoM modules are outfitted with a USB device interface, applied with PIC16F1454 microcontroller (MCU). On the SoM side the MCU is connected to three interfaces: serial (if the other side is applied inside the FPGA), an I2C bus (connected to the module PMIC, charge controller, RTC and FPGA), and FPGA JTAG programming interface. The 70mm x 35mm modules support Linux Operating System, but currently,

HIFIVE UNLEASHED – THE FIRST RISC V BASED LINUX DEVELOPMENT BOARD

HIFIVE UNLEASHED – THE FIRST RISC-V-BASED LINUX DEVELOPMENT BOARD

RISC-V is an open specification of an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). That is, it describes the way in which software talks to an underlying processor – just like the x86 ISA for Intel/AMD processors and the ARM ISA for ARMprocessors. Unlike those, however, the RISC-V ISA is open so that anyone can build a processor that supports it. Just

Analyzing the vintage 8008 processor from die photos: its unusual counters

The revolutionary Intel 8008 microprocessor is 45 years old today (March 13, 2017), so I figured it’s time for a blog post on reverse-engineering its internal circuits. One of the interesting things about old computers is how they implemented things in unexpected ways, and the 8008 is no exception. Compared to modern architectures, one unusual
