C-programming of ARM9 microcontrollers in a free development environment for Linux

摘要

At the moment, there are older microcontrollers used in technology education and they udreceive little attention. Questionnaire results showed this could be one of the reasons udfor bad understanding of microcontrollers among students and teachers of technology profession. udIn desire to improve the current state, dissertation firstly gives theoretical explanation on udcarefully chosen microcontroller LPC3141 and its microprocessor ARM926ej-s. Moreover, uddissertation describes ways LPC3141 can function, its key registers and key bits. Secondly, udpractical part gives some knowledge on "Linux" open source operating system and describes its udinstalling procedure. Theoretical explanation and installation procedures of "GCC" open source udprogramming tools are explained next. "GCC" used in combination with "Linux" represents no costs udat all which might come handy in the current economic crisis. Additionally, simple and advanced udprojects are presented because of which describing installation procedures and usefulness of "Eclipse"udopen source integrated developement environment is required. "Eclipse" is being used for writing udC-projects until the end of dissertation. In conclusion, some directions for future PhD thesis udare presented. udud
