executing a DTS package is very simple, in its simplest form the execution contains for 3 steps. These 3 steps form the foundation for all more complicated forms for package execution.
NXP Semiconductor designed the LPC2400 microcontrollers around a 16-bit/32-bitARM7TDMI-S CPU core with real-time debug interfaces that include both JTAG andembedded Trace. The LPC2400 microcontrollers have 512 kB of on-chip high-speedFlash memory. This Flash memory includes a special 128-bit wide memory interface andaccelerator architecture that enables the CPU to execute sequential instructions fromFlash memory at the maximum 72 MHz system clock rate. This feature is available onlyon the LPC2000 ARM Microcontroller family of products. The LPC2400 can execute both32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb instructions. Support for the two Instruction Sets meansEngineers can choose to optimize their application for either performance or code size atthe sub-routine level. When the core executes instructions in Thumb state it can reducecode size by more than 30 % with only a small loss in performance while executinginstructions in ARM state maximizes core performance.
Software Engineering and Computer Games
By Rudy Rucker
Software Engineering and Computer Games was written with four broad goals:
To teach a lively style of object-oriented software engineering.
To show how to bring a complete program to the level of a commercial release.
To provide a "game engine" framework of linked classes for game development.
To help students create computer games that are interactive, rapidly executing, and visually beautiful.
Quantum Platform(QP) is a family of very lightweight, state machine-based frameworks for embedded systems. QP enables developing well-structured embedded applications as a set of concurrently executing hierarchical state machines (UML statecharts).
As all of you know, MATLAB is a powerful engineering language. Because of some limitation, some tasks take very long time to proceed. Also MATLAB is an interpreter not a compiler. For this reason, executing a MATLAB program (m file) is time consuming. For solving this problem, Mathworks provides us C Math Library or in common language, MATLAB API. A developer can employ these APIs to solve engineering problems very fast and easy. This article is about how can use these APIs.
In recent years, the UNIX operating system has seen a huge boost in its popularity, especially with the
emergence of Linux. For programmers and users of UNIX, this comes as no surprise: UNIX was designed to
provide an environment that s powerful yet easy to use.
One of the main strengths of UNIX is that it comes with a large collection of standard programs. These
programs perform a wide variety of tasks from listing your files to reading email. Unlike other operating
systems, one of the key features of UNIX is that these programs can be combined to perform complicated
tasks and solve your problems.
One of the most powerful standard programs available in UNIX is the shell. The shell is a program that
provides you with a consistent and easy-to-use environment for executing programs in UNIX. If you have
ever used a UNIX system, you have interacted with the shell.
As science advances, novel experiments are becoming more and more complex, requiring a zoo of control devices and electronics executing complicated sequences of steps. Device availability and monetary constrains usually lead to a highly heterogeneous setup with components from several different manufacturers using many different protocols and interfacing mechanisms. This often results in control software being puzzled together to use and provide a multitude of interfacing and control functionality, each using their own calling conventions, data structures, etc. To make matters worse, usually a group of relatively independent programmers is trying to write and maintain the code base. Often this causes extensive duplication of effort as program segments are hard to reuse, since unpredictable changes to the segments by the original authors might compromise other code using these segments.
