By textbook definition, Embedded Electronics can be defined as a system that “Integrates Hardware circuitry with software programming techniques to provide real-time solutions”. From age old pocket calculators to advanced automobile and security devices the applications of Embedded System continue to show a strong progress.
In this section we will discuss about the various embedded controllers and embedded development platforms including, but not limited to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU, ESP32, Microchip, AVR, ARM, MSP430, STM32, STM8S, Nuvoton etc. It also updates the readers with latest Embedded News and technology trends to help them plan and design their Embedded Projects with ease.
Renesas Electronics released its high performance RZ/G2 ARM MPUs series with more than 10 years of Linux Kernel Support and advanced security features. The four RZ/G2 MPU variants comes with 64-bit Arm Cortex-A57, Arm Cortex-A53 and two-six-eight cores with its new improved on-chip 3D graphic functions. By keeping eye on needs of developers, the four new RZ/G2 MPUs are…
Just as gas (petrol/diesel) is important for bikes, trucks and cars (yeah, excluding Teslas!) to move, so is electric power for most of the electronics applications and more so, for embedded system based applications which are usually battery (limited energy) powered, from the regular mobile phones to smart home devices amongst others.

Embedded and automotive platform designers who are seeking Peripheral Component Interconnect Express® (PCIe®) 3.1 Low-Power Sub-State (LPSS) L1.1 and L1.2 for power savings now have new options available from Microchip Technology. The LAN7430 Ethernet bridge provides integrated power, clocks and an Ethernet physical (PHY) interface while the LAN7431 provides Reduced…
For less than $10, the STM8-SO8-DISCO 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) Discovery Kit from STMicroelectronics lets users evaluate all three STM8 variants currently available in the popular 8-pin SO8 package.
As well as outstanding three-in-one value, the kit offers no-frills simplicity and features to jump-start…
Four years earlier, Samsung Electronics introduced the first eUFS solution (Embedded Universal Flash storage solution) with a 128-GB Flash Storage for mobile phones. Now, considering the demand of storage capacity in premium notebook PC and other mobile devices, Samsung has passed the anticipated terabyte threshold by introducing 1-TB eUFS 2.1 today, which it claims to be…
A new 8-bit microcontroller called the STM8L050 was announced today by STMicroelectronics. This low cost, low-power 8-pin MCU comes with the STM8 core running at 16MHz. The controller has six I/Os with rich Analog peripherals, a DMA controller and a separate EEPROM making it suitable for industrial sensors, toys, access cards, e-bike controllers, home-automation or lighting…
When it comes to our loved ones, we always want to keep them healthy and fit. But what will happen if they get ill and forget to take medicine on time? We would be worried, right? At hospitals, there are many patients, and it is difficult to remind every patient to take medicine on time. The traditional ways require human efforts to remind them to take medicines on…
Mouser Electronics is now stocking the G.hn Wave-2 networking chipset from MaxLinear, featuring the G.hn digital baseband and G.hn analog front ends. Offering physical data rates up to 2 Gbits per second (Gbps) across a variety of physical media, the Wave-2 networking G.hn processors deliver reliable connectivity and reduced congestion in smart grid, security, broadband,…
The 32-bit RX66T Microcontroller from Renesas is commonly used for motor control applications since it can simultaneously control up to four motors with a maximum operating frequency of 160MHz. Today Renesas has announced another built-in feature called the e-AI which enables failure detection of home appliances that have a motor inside like, Washing machines, Air…
In this tutorial, we will design a system to read the RFID cards using STM32 and RFID Reader. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification which reads information by using radio frequencies. RFID’s are used in many authentication systems like elevator parking system, automated toll collection, maintaining patient information in hospitals, automated data collection etc…
United Electronic Industries (UEI) today announced the UEIPAC series of standalone embedded controllers now offers an optional 8347E CPU. This version includes IEEE-1588 synchronization, solid-state hard drives up to 32 Gigabyte, hardware-based Ethernet encryption plus twice the RAM, and 32 times as much FLASH memory.
…
STMicroelectronics announced extended support for Amazon FreeRTOS with new starter kits for the STM32, ST’s popular family of 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M microcontrollers.
ST is leveraging AWS to boost designers’ efforts to create easily connectable Internet of Things (IoT) nodes with the combination of ST’s…
