  • Multi-microcontroller system, internet of things gateway system, and control flow of multi-microcontroller system based on network bridge
    Patent number: 10313432
    Abstract: A multi-microcontroller system, comprising a master microcontroller and a plurality of slave microcontrollers; wherein the master microcontroller is connected with the slave microcontrollers respectively via a network bridge; the network bridge forms a first communication part with a first memory interface and a first SPI interface, the plurality of first communication parts are connected with the master microcontroller and the slave microcontrollers, respectively; the network bridge is primarily responsible for processing transmission of control signals and data between the master microcontroller and the slave microcontrollers, and serves as a temporary storage area for common memory such that the states of the slave microcontrollers are put under automated management, the addresses of the slave microcontrollers are designated, and memory blocks are allocated.
