I am a starter in microcontroller programming. I understand programming but first I am starting with Keil uVision3-software and Evaluation board MCB-STR9. Is there any user guide or tutorial which could help me to start and program and see results on board. I could not find online. Can someone help me please?... Thanks...
Amfortunately, I have readily got "MCB-STR9" Development board for learning. Which include STR912FAW44X6 microcontroller which is done by using 32-bit ARM966E-S RISC processor core.(also I have uVision4 software installed to use) It is ARM9 which you claimed to learn later after older ones. Will it be too hard for me to start with it? Or take 'The 8051' or LPC23xx(ARM7) or LPC1114 and start with them? If you sujest one of this ways, if possible and if you know, could you also tell what book or tutorial online or any kind of good source for beginners is good?
Thanks too much Dhaval Solanki,Per Westermark, Erik malund, P Magson for your valuable responds...
If you've already got an MCB-STR9, then you can use that to learn. Just bear in mind that whatever processor you choose now, you should be prepared to learn something new when you start a real project.
The first ARM part I started with was the STR9. I began by downloading the reference manuals and studying them. I also built, downloaded and ran the simple example Keil programs. Then I started adding little bits to try out what I had read in the reference manual. Controlling a port pin, starting a timer, updating the display.
As I said, you'll probably have to learn something else when you start a real project. Don't worry about things that look a bit strange. The STR9 does have a few quirks and I never got reasons for them.
Step at a time is a good way.
Give it a try. Enjoy yourself.
