This practical guide is aimed at electronics students and hobbyists. It is intended to be a valuable aid in writing programs using Finite State Machines (FSMs) in assembly language using 8-bit PIC ...
Designing a synchronous finite state machine (FSM) is a common task for a digital logic engineer. This paper discusses a variety of issues regarding FSM design using Verilog and VHDL coding styles.
As design size and complexity grows, the design verification effort grows even more. It takes significant amount of time to thoroughly verify complex control logic of a design, which is the key and ...
The functional verification process involves the development of constrained random test cases, and the technique of coverage driven verification [1] to produce, and analyze the simulation results.
In my previous article, I highlighted the importance of state machine thinking in creating robust and dependable systems. Now, let's delve deeper into the mathematical underpinnings of converting ...
Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...
Many embedded software applications are natural candidates for mechanization as a state machine. A program that must sequence a series of actions, or handle inputs differently depending on what mode ...
The need for a way to execute concurrent tasks within Java has been addressed within JSE by the java.util.concurrent.Executor and in a limited fashion in JEE by the WorkManager specification.
