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 ...

The ESP32 has been a go-to microcontroller platform for a while now, thanks to its versatile capabilities, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and low power consumption. It’s ideal for a wide ...

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 ...

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, ...

Can you have probably already heard of the Flipper Zero, a fantastic pocket device that I owe you to carry out a member of different packing penetration and testing tasks. But did you know it could be ...

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 ...
