Hi,
currently my company is making embedded products and we are using Embest IDE and an Atmel Microcontroller.
We are thinking of switching the IDE to Keil because we would like to have a newer, more powerful IDE with a better project management tool.
Before committing to a keil license, if we were to bring the coding that we wrote using Embest IDE to Atmel, are we going to expect any large coding changes?
best regards brian yee
Indeed!
Would you hire a software engineer to do a mechanical engineering task?
Remember: the usability of your entire product is likely to hinge on the usability of the software; so you really need someone who really knows what they're doing and can really get this right - it's not just a side-issue to be dropped on someone else as a fill-in or a tidy-up.
One thing to be aware of with Libraries is that they will (most likely) be specific to a particular tool (possibly also a particular version of a particular tool) - so you need to carefully consider whether you want to lock your customers in to that specific tool (possibly also a particular version of that particular tool)...
