ABSTRACT

169 In the “Microprocessors/MCUs for IoT” chapter, the state of the art architectures of the current MPUs and MCUs will be analyzed, as well as the benchmarks for evaluating their performance and efficiency. Furthermore, the support for interconnection and communication with users, things and cloud services will also be discussed. Examples of commercial MPUs and MCUs will be provided, and the main investigation paths for developing the future processing devices for the IoT will be underlined.
