Ready, Set, Embed!

by Amelia Dalton

This week's Fish Fry is all about embedded design - from microcontrollers to tools. We examine why the death of 8-bit MCUs might not be so close at hand and what the new lJet in-circuit debugging probe is all about. Then, it's off to some truly strange "News You May Have Missed" where we see how Nintendo is teaming up with Toyota to make driving more like a video game.

Also this week, I have a brand new nerdy giveaway (a TI MSP-EXP430FR5739 Experimenter Board) courtesy of Mouser to throw your way, but you'll have to tune in to find out how to win.  Read More

I would like to use the MachXO2 pico to teach the robotics team that I'm coaching, www.landroids.org, about FPGA. They are well versed in Arduino, the MachXO2 Pico will provide the next step in their training.

Embedded design is the theme of this week's Fish Fry. What do you think about this collaboration between Toyota and Nintendo? A good idea or a really bad one?

I think, in processor architecture diagnosis, the term is no longer "hyperAptiv" but "Application Deficit Disorder" - it's when you have a great new processor but not many applications run on it yet...
