Microcontrollers

QP: Open-source state machine framework

QP™ is a family of lightweight, open source, event-driven, state machine frameworks and real-time kernels for embedded microprocessors, MCUs, and DSPs.

Pocket PC challenge

Do you remember the old pocket PCs like the SHARP PC-1500, PC-1600 etc.? A small plastic brick with an ASCII keyboard and simple LCD.

USB Host for microcontrollers

It isn't a problem to create an uC-based device as an USB peripherial nowadays - there are a lot of chips with USB device capability, from FTDI to some PIC/USB, or OBDEV's USB software controller. But what to do if you need connect some USB peripherial to your device?

MicroVGA

MicroVGA is low-cost VGA interface, providing 80x25 text mode (800x600 @ 60 Hz) / 16 colors. MicroVGA can be connected to microcontroller, thus it's an ideal solution for embedded applications.

Microcontrollers gotchas

A list of AVR and PIC common pitfalls by Ladyada.

Universal FAT32 library

Very useful library for everyone, who wants to deal with any SD/MMC card or other storage, works with FAT32, in applications such as MP3 players or data loggers.

Parallax Propeller based laptop computer

I've really dilema if this amazing construction post under 6502 or under Parallaxis. So decide yourself: This is a Propeller laptop with a 6502 co-processor and 64K of static RAM!

Xiltendo

Xiltendo CPLD Starter is an entry level CPLD device for the Nintendo Handhelds. It can be used for various applications with supplied hardware configurations, or it can be used as CPLD development board to create new hardware.

Xiltendo features:
* No programming cable needed – fully in-system reprogrammable

Another FORTH resources

I really love Forth... I've already said it, haven't I? ;)

TCP/IP stacks for microcontrollers

Two TCP/IP libraries for a wide range of microcontrollers.
