What is MikroC?
mikroC is a full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) designed specifically for embedded C programming. It supports various microcontroller architectures including PIC, AVR, ARM Cortex-M, and 8051.
Some key features of mikroC IDE include:
- Easy-to-use graphical user interface for editing, compiling, debugging code
- Supports ANSI C standards with some extra libraries for microcontroller programming
- Built-in compiler, assembler, and linker optimized for supported microcontrollers
- Hardware debugging support via on-chip debuggers and debug probes
- Library of 900+ standard and user-contributed C routines for common MCU tasks
- Generates small and fast executable code optimized for size and speed
- Supports various target development boards from MikroElektronika and other vendors
- Seamless integration with MikroElektronika's Click Boards for adding connectivity and sensors
Overall, mikroC provides a complete IDE experience specifically tailored for deeply embedded C development. Its simplicity, code efficiency, and extensive hardware support make it popular choice among embedded developers working with 8/16-bit microcontrollers.
