ZigBee module with 32-Bit ARM Processor is ideal for remote sensing. California Eastern Laboratories is the only company that offers an IEEE 802.15.4 wireless module with an internal 32-Bit ARM processor. The module named FreeStar Pro is based on Freescale Semiconductor’s MC13224V radio/processor Platform in Package (PiP) chip. It offers lots of memory and I/O ports making it simple to design complex wireless nodes.

This article offers open source software (oss) for FAT over MMC SDC. We have many options of open source TCP/IP stack implementations. However we don’t have enough choices for open source FAT file system over popular MMC/SDC, because of commercial reasons. Most of the popular flash cards are covered and protected by patents and copy rights. For an experienced engineer it is easy to hack the protocol, but this will bring legal problems if he releases what he found during the reverse engineering.

How to select software or hardware floating point depending from your ARM Microcontroller.
Recently I started to collect the open source robot projects from the Internet. The SRV1 robot from Surveyor LLC seems to be very funny. The company hosts two open source projects, one is based upon 60MIPS NXP2106 ARM7 microcontroller, the other one is developed on 500Hz ADI Balckfin MPU.

Beagle board, an ARM Cortex OMAP3530 based and USB powered SBC, is a low-cost, high performance, low power development platform. It is only 3 inch square in size, and powered by a USB connection. It is possible to design a Linux based application with web browsing, or multimedia functionality without the large development board that is typically needed. The board is designed by Beagleboard.org community members and solely sold by Digi-Key.

I first learned of the STM32 Primer at a technical seminar presented by STMicroelectronics. The STM32 Primer is designed to provide a complete toolset for STM32 that is fun and easy to use. Give it a try and learn about the features of the STM32 and the powerful ARM Cortex™-M3 core.

Does the title confuse you? It's very simple...Take a teacher of literature and put her in the middle of the electronics world. I have landed like this at the ST-NEWS2008 Silverstar Seminar. Maybe you ask yourself what do literature and electronics have in common .... well let me tell you: nothing! But we don't know what life can give us and we must always be ready to change the job and, more importantly, to learn news things! I already attende some seminars, but there we talked about the metaphors or the liaison between the human been and the nature and for sure not about... microcontrollers! Luckily working since 2007 on this web site helped me a lot, so I did not feel like an alien!

ARM is a 32-bit RISC processor architecture, developed by ARM Limited that is the most widely used 16/32-bit embedded RISC solution in the world. The ARM instruction set architecture has evolved significantly since it was first developed, and will continue to be developed in the future! This is our Book about ARM dev.emcelettronica/arm
