Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

Software that translates a high-level request into the low-level commands required to perform the operation. The most common abstraction layer is the programming interface (API) between an application ...

Electronic products that use a microcontroller have become so complex today that they commonly use a real-time operating system (RTOS). An RTOS can manage low-level resources and time, improving the ...

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 ...

The concept of applying a higher level of design abstraction to creative and engineering processes is so closely familiar that we probably take it for granted. From NC machines to SQL database systems ...

Nvidia recently published a high-level abstraction layer for the Vulkan API. Dubbed VkHLF (Vulkan High-Level Framework), this new framework aims to simplify the task of creating content for game ...
