Hi NXP Community,
I'm currently developing a hybrid embedded system that requires real-time data processing on a microcontroller, with results handed off to a more powerful host system for further analysis. My setup primarily revolves around NXP microcontrollers, and I’m now exploring options for expanding data interaction between the microcontroller and a general computing platform.
One of my key considerations is how efficiently a microcontroller can communicate with a laptop processor, especially when tasks like data logging, analytics, or remote updates come into play. I'm curious whether others in this community have experience setting up fast, stable interfaces—such as USB CDC, UART to USB bridges, or even SPI-over-USB configurations—for microcontrollers to offload tasks or exchange data with laptops. The architecture on the laptop end is fairly open, and I'm hoping to optimize both hardware-level and firmware-level design. I’ve already browsed through several discussions here on the NXP Community, which have been very helpful, but I’d love to hear more about real-world examples or performance optimization tips.
Any suggestions or links to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
