While newer Arduinos and Arduino compatibles (including the Hackaday.io Trinket Pro. Superliminal Advertising!) either have a chip capable of USB or rely on a V-USB implementation, the old fogies ...

While not as ubiquitous as Atmel and the Arduino platform ... the TI chips in this build revolve around the 8051-core microcontrollers, which [Aaron] has found in small e-paper price tags ...

Twelve times faster than the standard 8051 core, this new family extends the existing range of 8051 Flash microcontrollers. These new devices are optimized for applications that require low power ...

While 8 or 16-bit MCUs, such as 8051 and 80251 microcontrollers, can be sufficient for entry level edge objects with minimum security, more and more IoT objects with embedded RTOS and upgradable ...
