So lets dig deep into the specific board. Here in the lab, I had used ATtiny 84 as the microcontroller for my echo hello world board. AVR microcontrollers find many applications as embedded systems they are also used in the Arduino line of open source board designs.
AVR was one of the first microcontroller families to use on-chip flash memory for program storage, as opposed to one-time programmable ROM, EPROM, or EEPROM used by other microcontrollers at the time.
These are modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single-chip microcontrollers. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts.Įmbedded systems are commonly found in consumer, industrial, automotive, medical, commercial and military applications.ĪVR is a family of microcontrollers developed by Atmel beginning in 1996. In contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications consisting of various discrete chips like ADC(analog to digital converter),DAC Īn embedded system is a controller programmed and controlled by a real-time operating system (RTOS) with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, Program memory in the form of ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a small amount of RAM. A microcontroller contains one or more CPUs (processor cores) along with memory and programmable input/output peripherals. In modern terminology, it is similar to, but less sophisticated than, a system on a chip or SoC an SoC may include a microcontroller as one of its components. So without further adeau we can go directly to this weeks work:Ī microcontroller (or MCU for microcontroller unit) is a small computer on a single integrated circuit. To be difficult but if you find to understand the logic behind it, it would be fun. To be honest, I initally found the embedded programming Looking back to the Electronics Production week, I found the tracing part to be difficult but I hope I could do better this time. The following are the softwares that I have used for learning various operations:
Further, I need to read a microcontroller data sheet, and experiment with different architectures. In this eight week of Fab Academy, I need to program the board that I had made in previous week using different environments.
