This article explains how microcontroller units (MCUs) handle floating‑point operations, covering IEEE‑754 representation, hardware versus software FPU approaches, performance and precision challenges, and a range of optimization techniques—from hardware selection and fixed‑point tricks to compiler flags and system‑level power management.
This article explains how integers and decimals are stored using fixed‑point and floating‑point representations, introduces the 8‑bit FP8 formats (E4M3 and E5M2) used in modern AI hardware, and traces the evolution from classic FP32/FP64 to the latest ultra‑compact numeric types.
This article explains the meaning of UE8M0 by introducing fixed‑point (INT8) and floating‑point representations, showing how integers and decimals are stored in binary, describing the limitations of fixed‑point, the advantages of floating‑point scientific notation, and detailing the emerging FP8 formats such as E4M3 and E5M2 used in modern AI hardware.
This article presents a curated collection of nine high‑utility C code snippets for embedded development, covering a circular buffer, custom assertions, bit reversal, fixed‑point arithmetic, endianness conversion, bit masks, timer handling, binary search, and a simple bitset structure, each with concise explanations and ready‑to‑use implementations.
This article presents a curated collection of high‑impact C utility code examples—including a circular buffer, assertion macro, bit‑reversal function, fixed‑point arithmetic, endianness conversion, bit masks, timer handling, binary search, and a simple bitset—explaining their purpose and showing ready‑to‑use implementations for embedded systems.
