8051 microcontrollers still offer an efficient and effective alternative to 32-bit processors in products ranging from USB thumb drives to washing machines to complex wireless-communication SOCs.

IAR Systems today is announcing that support for the 8051 MCUs we offer is built into their latest release of the Embedded Workbench for 8051.

CAST announces a new member of the 32-bit BA2x Processor Family: The BA20 PipelineZero Embedded Processor.

System integrators and product designers can jump ahead of their competition by selecting high-quality, easy-to-reuse IP cores from reliable vendors with a track record of good support.

CAST held a successful 32-bit system design seminar over breakfast adjacent to DesignCon.

Designers describe their uses of 8051s as CAST introduces the fastest 8051 IP core available.

Simplify your ISO 26262 Functioonal Safety certification effort by using IAR's certified Embedded Toolkit for RISC-V with the EMSA5-FS processor.

The CAST team's experience at Embedded World 2023 was quite successful, including winning a Best in Show award for the EMSA5-FS RISC-V Functional Safety Proeceeor IP core.

Despite being 40 years old, 8051 microcontrollers can still serve useful roles in modern systems. But integrating 8051s in today's systems with their de facto standard AMBA® buses, wider datapaths, and shared memories can seem impossible. Yet it can...
