Mesa-Video: 800×600 digital video for Arduinos over 2-wire serial Mesa-Bus
kevinhub88 writes: This post describes Mesa-Video, a low cost, low power, small size and fully Open Source Hardware and Software solution for providing 800×600 digital video for Arduino ( and other ) microcontrollers. Mesa-Video makes it quick and easy to display text and 24bit color graphics from any MCU using a single UART serial port […]
30C3 Video: Hardware attacks, advanced ARM exploitation, and Android hacking
Stephen A. Ridley gave this presentation at the recently concluded Chaos Communications Conference (30C3) in Hamburg, Germany. He outlines his recent research into practical ARM exploitation on Linux and Android (for embedded applications and mobile devices). He demonstrates these techniques and discusses how they were discovered using several custom built ARM hardware development platforms. He […]
STM32F4Stamp, a breakout board for STM32F4
Frank Zhao posted his STM32F4 breakout board in the project log forum: I really like the STM32 family of ARM microcontrollers. This breakout board is a narrow design that fits perfectly on a breadboard. Every pin is accessible. It has USB, a reset button, and a bootload button. The chip itself has a permanent USB bootloader […]
ARM Embedded GCC 4.7
Viswa writes that ARM Embedded GCC 4.7 reduces code size and now supports all the three host platforms (Windows, GNU/Linux and MAC OS). For more details on this relese see the post by Joey Ye, Engineer Manager in ARM, at ARM.com. Download links can be found here. Via the contact form.
Introduction to cortex serial wire debugging, 3-part tutorial
Squonk refers us to this 3-part tutorial on the ARM SWD debug protocol. LPC ARM Cortex-based microcontrollers from NXP can be controlled via SWD, ARM’s Serial Wire Debug protocol and the Coresight register set which allow nonintrusive debugging. This blog post series summarizes use of the SWD protocol to do basic debugging functions on the […]
Aud-I/O I2S audio breakout
Bertho is working on a breakout board for the WM8782 I2S ADC and the WM8523 I2S DAC. The boards are intended to be interfaced with an ARM micro-controller. I am working on a project that requires some real audio and I always wanted to play with I2S (attached to an arm microcontroller). So I decided […]
Bathroom scale with Bluetooth and an Android weigh chart app
Casai modified a bathroom scale to send his weight info to an Android app through Bluetooth. He documented his built, and released the firmware, as well as the mods he made to the open source Weight Chart app. The scale uses an ARM LPC2103 microcontroller and a serial Bluetooth module to communicate with a Android […]
OLinuXino-Micro ARM9 Linux board available at Mouser
Brightbluejim let us know that the OLinuXino-Micro ARM9 Linux board is available at Mouser for $30. It runs at 454 MHz, has 64 MB of RAM, an SD-card reader, TV PAL/NTSC video output, one USB High-Speed host port, and an a Pi-tossing 60 GPIO pins broken out. Via the comments
App note: Interrupt behavior of Cortex-M1 MCUs
Here is an app note from ARM describing the interrupt behavior of Cortex-M1 microcontrollers. The ARM Cortex-M1 processor was developed for the usage with FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) and it is targeting low-cost applications in which costs, ease of use and low interrupt latency are critical. Such low interrupt latency applications can include real-time […]
OLinuXino-Micro ARM9 Linux board hits the streets
Olimex released their OLinuXino-Micro, an ARM9 development platform that supports Linux. It runs at 454 MHz, has 64 MB of RAM, an SD-card reader, TV PAL/NTSC video output, one USB High-Speed host port, and an a Pi-tossing 60 GPIO pins broken out. It’s priced around 24 Euros (30 bucks).
