Abstract

Many embedded systems reside within bigger electrical systems. While the embedded system takes control over many aspects of the surrounding systems, the amount of possible control is set by the given configuration. This causes a divide between the flexibility provided by software and the unchanging nature of the encompassing hardware. The concept of programmable circuits seeks to bridge this gap. The use of memristors enables the changing of resistor values within a circuit without disassembly. The continuous, non-volatile variable resistor provides the possibility to reconfigure hardware circuits through external influences or even by software on the embedded system at run time.

During the research, control of memristors by common microprocessors was achieved and a prototype was implemented to test the concept for use in a circuit classifying data streams.
