Introduction The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) is program code between a system’s hardware and its software that provides a consistent inter- face for applications that can run on several different hardware platforms. To take advantage of this capability, applications should ac- cess hardware through the API provided by the HAL, rather than directly. Then, when you move to new hardware, you only need to update the HAL. In some cases, due to extreme differences in hardware, the HAL API may also change slightly to accommodate the new hardware.

  • ARM® Cortex® -M3 & M4 MCU Architecture
    ARM® Cortex ® -M3 & M4 MCU Architecture Introduction Many embedded developers are familiar with the ARM Cortex processor architecture, but few have the opportunity to become intimately acquainted enough of this popular architecture to take full advantage of its unique features and capabilities. This is especially true for the new ARM Cortex-M4 processor, which boasts an improved architecture, native digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities and an optional floating-point accelerator, which a savvy programmer or hardware engineer can exploit to their ad- vantage. Let’s take a closer look at some of the more interesting (and often-overlooked) features found in Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers (MCUs) as well as new M4 variants. Since many target applications for Cortex-M based MCUs are portable and derive their power from bat- teries or energy harvesting systems, most of the ideas we will explore involve techniques for reducing a design’s overall energy consumption. In many cases, however, these energy conservation techniques are also helpful tools for designing processor-optimized applications that provide: • More cost-effective solutions • More processing margin available for upgrades and new features • Performance and features that help products stand out in crowded markets. ARM Cortex Basics Much like the original 16-bit processor cores created by Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) in the 1980s, the ARM Cortex series is based on a Harvard-style RISC machine with a modest silicon footprint that en- ables high performance as well as code
