PICOBIT: A Compact Scheme System for Microcontrollers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to their tight memory constraints, small microcontroller based embedded systems have traditionally been implemented using lowlevel languages. This paper shows that the Scheme programming language can also be used for such applications, with less than 7 kB of total memory. We present PICOBIT, a very compact implementation of Scheme suitable for memory constrained embedded systems. To achieve a compact system we have tackled the space issue in three ways: the design of a Scheme compiler generating compact bytecode, a small virtual machine, and an optimizing C compiler suited to the compilation of the virtual machine.

BIT: A Very Compact Scheme System for Microcontrollers
We present a compact implementation of Scheme for microcontrollers that includes a real-time garbage collector. The compiler runs on a normal workstation and produces byte-code from the source program. A smart linker links the byte-code with the runtime module. We demonstrate that with this system it is clearly possible to run realistic Scheme programs on a microcontroller with as little as 3 t...
متن کاملA Compact Scheme for a Partial Integro-Differential Equation with Weakly Singular Kernel
Compact finite difference scheme is applied for a partial integro-differential equation with a weakly singular kernel. The product trapezoidal method is applied for discretization of the integral term. The order of accuracy in space and time is , where . Stability and convergence in norm are discussed through energy method. Numerical examples are provided to confirm the theoretical prediction ...
متن کاملA DVP-Based Bridge Architecture to Randomly Access Pixels of High-Speed Image Sensors
A design of a novel bridge is proposed to interface digital-video-port (DVP) compatible image sensors with popular microcontrollers. Most commercially available CMOS image sensors send image data at high speed and in a row-by-row fashion. On the other hand, commercial microcontrollers run at relatively slower speed, and many embedded system applications need random access of pixel values. Moreo...
متن کاملSmall Scheme Stack: A Scheme TCP/IP Stack Targeting Small Embedded Applications
Interaction with embedded systems is usually achieved by hooking up these devices to a computer network. The TCP/IP stack of protocols has often been used to this end, requiring compact stacks to be implemented as regular ones are too large for embedded systems. Traditionally, compact stacks such as uIP [4] have been implemented in C. Here we report on our experience in implementing S (“Small S...
