Microcontroller development board is a hardware platform specifically designed for developing MCU applications. Its advantages are obvious, such as easy-to-use, low cost, low power consumption, and high performance. Development board can be used for a wide range of applications, from simple LED blinking projects to complex robotics and automation systems, making it easy for developers to get started.
Here are some usual practices of using a development board:
Hardware Setup
Before using the MCU development board, it is necessary to perform hardware setup, including setting up peripheral interfaces, configuring clock frequencies, and selecting appropriate I/O ports.
Program Writing
After completing the hardware setup, you can start writing the program for the MCU application. When writing the program, you need to pay attention to the internal structure and instruction set of the MCU, as well as the input and output format of the program.
Program Download
After writing the program, it can be downloaded and burned onto the MCU development board. Before burning, the development board needs to be initialized, including setting the clock frequency and resetting the MCU.
Debugging
After burning, the program can be run on the development board. When running the program, you need to pay attention to the input and output status of the program and perform necessary debugging and correction.
Testing
When using the MCU development board for application development, continuous testing is required to ensure the correctness and stability of the program.
