Study Notes
Embedded Software
- Controls the functionality of an embedded system within a microcontroller.
Tools for Developing Embedded Software
- Editor: Where code is written; source code can be in languages like C or C++.
- Compiler: Translates source code into object code, a low-level programming language understood by computers.
- Assembler: Converts assembly language into machine language, transforming mnemonics and data into op codes and bits.
- Debugger: Identifies and tests for errors and bugs in the code.
- Linker: Combines multiple object code and library files to create an executable program.
- Libraries: Pre-written programs that provide specific functionalities and can be utilized by various programs.
- Simulator: Allows real-time testing of code; enables input value changes for corresponding output observation.
Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- MPLAB: Freeware IDE by Microchip Technology used for developing applications on PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers; highly configurable with powerful tools for embedded designs.
- Arduino Software: Open source IDE specifically for working with Arduino microcontrollers; user-friendly with many features.
- MATLAB: Capable of solving computational problems, interfacing with other programming languages, and includes Simulink for simulation.
- LabVIEW: Stands for Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench; used in data acquisition, industrial automation, and instrument control.
- Visual Studio: Microsoft’s IDE that supports multiple programming languages; suitable for building mobile apps, desktop applications, and more.
