For both the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black, there’s a lot of GPIO access that happens the way normal Unix systems do – by moving files around. Yes, for most applications you really don’t need ...

Each year millions of old smartphones are either tossed as e-waste or are condemned to lie unloved in dusty drawers, despite the hardware in them usually being still perfectly fine. Reusing these ...

General purpose input-output (GPIO) pins are the simplest peripherals. The link to an object under control (OUC) may become inadvertently unreliable due to many reasons: a loss of contact, short ...

This paper provides a complete solution to the GPIO Verification for any SoC. GPIO interface is available in every ASIC. To avoid duplicate efforts and (save) time to verify the GPIO interface, we ...

Your MCU/SoC today may have several options for GPIO connections: UART, SPI, I2C. But there are dozens of variations and kinds of GPIO interface protocols: you don’t have enough pins to provide all of ...

For automotive SoCs, GPIO IP blocks are typically developed as Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) and delivered with a set of Assumptions of Use (AoUs). Any risk due to failure of the EE components ...

Editor's Note: The embedded Linux kernel already play a vital role in embedded systems and stands to grow in importance in serving the diverse requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT). In turn, ...

The Raspberry Pi 5 is a fantastic little computing machine. However, no matter how powerful the Raspberry Pi 5’s CPU may be, the Raspberry Pi 5 would be a useless lump of silicon and FR4 without a ...
