The 32-bit microcontroller is ideal for this scenario, for if the DMA controller is trying to move to memory data coming in the Ethernet receive channel, the result is bandwidth resource contention.

Like just about everyone we know, [Luis] decided a gigantic RGB LED matrix would be a cool thing to build. Gigantic LED matrices are very hard to build, though: not only do you have to deal with large ...

While regular Hackaday readers already know how to blink a LED with a microcontroller and have moved onto slightly more challenging projects such as solving the Navier-Stokes equations in 6502 ...

Atmel provides the CAP7E ARM7-based microcontroller with direct FPGA interfaces. The interface on the CAP7E affords the FPGA direct access to the AHB and peripheral-DMA controller on the CAP7L. Atmel ...

Another system optimization: Add a DMA controller to the system that is used to copy packets to/from the MAC/PHY chip from/to memory without having to go through the microprocessor, as is done in the ...

The devices integrate a 32-bit CPU, ROM, RAM, interrupt controller, real-time pulse unit, serial interface, A/D converter, DMA controller and other functions on a single chip. Also announced today ...

What methods are preferred in different classes of microcontrollers? Traditionally, higher-end, 32-bit microcontrollers featured co-processors and DMA controllers.
