This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

Microcontroller units (MCUs) are single-chip computers optimized for performing embedded computing tasks like controlling a ...

ARC's Tangent-core processor is unique among microcontrollers, but companies are starting to move their microcontroller offerings in Tangent's direction. The ARC core provides 30 base instructions, ...

In this installment of Scope Noob I’m working with Direct Digital Synthesis using a microcontroller. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the quirks which I discovered during this process. Most ...

Surprise from the Raspi developers: The RP2350 chip of the Pico 2 is not only more powerful than the RP2040, but also has alternatively usable RISC-V cores. The Raspberry Pi developers present the ...

Microcontrollers exist in almost everything, but can RISC-V satisfy the needs of this market? Is it small enough to replace 8-bit processors? What might help people migrate to a more modern processor ...
