Embedded systems first originated in the mid-1960's - more than a decade before the first personal home computers and nearly 25 years before the introduction of the internet. One of the earliest applications of an embedded computer system was the Apollo Guidance Computer, introduced in 1966 to support guidance, navigation, and control of the Apollo spacecraft during NASA's lunar missions of that decade. Today, embedded systems are used in a range of industrial, commercial, and residential applications that range from controlling manufacturing systems to enabling vehicle safety features to powering home security systems and smart appliances.

MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology supports motion sensors that detect, report, and collect information on anything that moves. The data these sensors generate are applied to many aspects of our daily lives, ranging from necessary and practical safety standards to augmented reality entertainment. This technology is applied in many ways that can affect and enhance our daily lives.

In the world of cables, USB Type-C is considered to be the most powerful and versatile connector type to date. One of Type-C’s features that allows for its flexibility is Alt Mode, which can optionally support non-USB signals including DisplayPort (DP) technology. This allows users to take advantage of multiple technologies all through a single cable, maximizing efficiency.

I am looking for a programmable SPI interface adapter that will support communicating with two devices. For both devices, the clock speed is 10MHz and the clock is only active during transmit.

The System on a Chip market is projected to grow to over $207 billion by 2023 according to a report released earlier this year. System on a Chip technology is found across all industries and is used in embedded systems as well as general purpose computing devices. However, despite its popularity, there is still ambiguity and confusion surrounding the term.

We are using the Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer and Data Center Software to sniff Full-speed USB data. We observed that data is displayed first on the DUT display and displayed on the Data Center Software afterwards. This was not expected. In our setup, data should be displayed on the Data Center Software before reaching the display of the destination device.

USB Type-C has already made its mark in the cable industry, but this connector type is also being implemented within another type of technology – headphones.
