Let's Program the Transistors
In VLSI, an SoC is an integrated circuit that contains multiple functional blocks, such as processors, memory, interfaces, and peripherals, on a single chip. The main idea behind the SoC concept is to integrate as many components as possible into a single chip to reduce the size, power consumption, and cost of the final product….
Whenever you want to add something to the kernel code, there are two options – either add your code to the kernel code and compile/build the entire kernel image or compile your code separately and add it to the kernel image later. The first one is the earlier approach that was followed. But, considering the…
Device driver is a computer program that controls a particular device that is connected to the system be it printers, CD-ROM readers etc. Before we go into device drivers, let us get a brief of the Linux architecture. The Linux virtual memory is divided into two partitions namely user space and kernel space to protect…
When someone start dealing with Microprocessor; a very common doubt always strikes out in the initial phase: “What is the difference between Microprocessor and Microcontroller?” Let’s Define both microprocessor and microcontroller and then we will compare them. Microprocessor: We mean by a microprocessor that all the components of a CPU (Central Processing Unit): ALU (Arithmetic Logic…
