Glossary

In flow control, the receiving end is ready and telling the far end to start sending.

A hardware development platform used for application development.

A mechanism for upgrading the firmware of a device.

A digital signal pin that can be used as input, output, or both. It is uncommitted and can be controlled by the user at runtime.

A multi-master, multi-slave, packet-switched, single-ended, serial computer bus.

Physical objects that are embedded with sensors, processing ability, software, and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems of the Internet or other communications networks.

A standards-based short-range wireless connectivity technology that enables two electronic devices to establish communication by bringing them close to each other.

A chip used for various functions related to power management.

A board that connects electronic components.

A form of modulation used to represent an analog signal with a binary signal where the relative density of the pulses corresponds to the analog signal's amplitude.

A form of modulation used to represent an analog signal with a binary signal where the switching frequency is fixed, and all the pulses corresponding to one sample are contiguous in the digital signal.

A Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) controller that allows the use of multiple data lines.

In flow control, the transmitting end is ready and requesting the far end for a permission to transfer data.

Synchronous serial communication interface specification used for short-distance communication.

A standard two-wire interface for programming and debugging Arm® CPUs.

A microchip that integrates all the necessary electronic circuits and components of a computer or other electronic systems on a single integrated circuit.

The transfer of audio to multiple devices using only wireless technology, with two separate mono audio streams sent from the source to each respective listening device.

A hardware device for asynchronous serial communication between devices.

An industry standard that establishes specifications for cables and connectors and protocols for connection, communication, and power supply between computers, peripheral devices, and other computers.
