Abstract

This chapter presents a complete example of building, flashing and executing a microcontroller C++ program using the LED program. The LED program will be built with GCC cross tools in the MinGW/MSYS (MinGW, Home of the MinGW and MSYS Projects, 2012, http://www.mingw.org ) environment. Our target microcontroller is an 8-bit ATMEL® AVR® microcontroller (ATMEL®, 8-bit ATMEL® Microcontroller with 4/8/16/32K Bytes In-System Programmable Flash (ATmega48A, ATmega48PA, ATmega88A, ATmega88PA, ATmega168A, ATmega168PA, ATmega328, ATmega328P), Rev. 8271D-AVR-05/11 (ATMEL®, 2011)). This popular microcontroller has state-of-the-art quality and widespread availability. In addition, there is a well-maintained GCC port for this microcontroller making it well-suited for our example. In the second half of this chapter, we will investigate efficiency aspects and compiler warnings and errors based on the example of the LED program.
