On the Pocketnow Power User so far this season we’ve talked mainly about hardware. What is the hardware abstraction layer, and why should you care? The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) bridges the gap ...

Today, more than 500 single-board computers (SBCs) and thousands of I/O cards are on the market, but there are few ready-made input/output (I/O) drivers. Developers continually request support for SBC ...

All things considered, it’s pretty easy to get one LED is a strip to light up sequentially, and have it bounce back and forth. Turning that simple animation into a real Larson scanner, with smooth ...

CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A consortium led by Cambridge-based quantum computing software company Riverlane and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed an open-source hardware ...

If you’ve worked with a microcontroller, you’re probably somewhat familiar with vendor-supplied hardware abstraction layers. A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is a software layer that provides a high ...

Why a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) facilitates building a test system. What does Testeract’s HAL look like? How developers can take advantage of Testeract’s TestPoint software. Automated test ...

For over ten years, Arduino has held onto its popularity as “that small dev-board aimed to get both artists and electronics enthusiasts excited about physical computing.” Along the way, it’s found a ...

High-level design (HLD) represents a hardware design at a more abstract level than register transfer level (RTL). A high-level synthesis (HLS) tool then can be used to produce the RTL necessary to ...
