In the first installment of this series we had a brief look at the steps needed to get a bare-metal application running on an STM32 microcontroller. While this allowed us to quickly get to the juicy ...

File access is a resource-intensive operation. Accessing a file from the disk for an application is a time-consuming operation, and accessing data from the primary memory is always faster. So, what if ...

A memory map is the bridge between a system-on-chip (SoC) and the firmware and software that is executed on it. Engineers may assume the map automatically appears, but the reality is much more ...

The use of memory-heavy IP in SoCs for automotive, artificial intelligence (AI), and processor applications is steadily increasing. However, these memory-heavy IP often have only a single access point ...

How to maximize storage life by decreasing write amplification factor (WAF). How the address-mapping choice can make a big difference to the WAF. How the appropriate flash-management firmware can ...
