CS212

1
Introduction

• CS212
• Dick Steflik

2
What is CS-212

• Primarily an introduction to linear and
  non-linear data structures
• arrays
• stacks and queues
• lists
• trees
• hash tables
• graphs
• An a brief introduction to C classes

3
Assumptions

• You have a good working familiarity with the C
  programming language (CS-211)?
• if there are things that are unclear to you
  please make sure that you ask
• we will use the first week of class as review
  before we venture off into new and uncharted
  territory

Software Development

• We will be doing a mixed bag of things this
  semester using Linux, Windows and an 8-bit MCU
  from Atmel Corp
• Linux, gcc, g and gdb for general development
• Windows AVR Studio Studio and WINAVR for
  development and software simulation
• Arduino , MCU demonstration and development board
  for real target system

5
gcc, g and gdb

• gcc and g are C and C compilers generally
  used on Intel based platforms
• open source supported by GNU
• widely used for Unix and Linux development
• C and C are also widely used for Windows
  software development mainly using Microsoft's
  Visual Studio development suite
• gdb is a command line debugger for gcc and g
• it allows more in-depth insight into a program
  than adding printf statements

6
MCU Software Development

• We will be developing on Windows using
• AVR Studio 4 (or 5)(free download)?
• GUI based development tool
• shell for WINAVR
• WINAVR (free download)?
• version of gcc for AVR 8-bit MCUs
• Methodology
• develop code on AVR Studio
• download into Arduino board
• all code submitted for grading must be
  demonstrated running on the Arduino

Arduino
The Arduino, for this course is used as a
breakout board for the ATmega328 MCU. The
ATmega328 has many more capabilities than the
Arduino provides. It (Arduino)has
Atmel ATmega328 MCU 32K bytes flash program
memory 1 K byte EEPROM 2K bytes RAM (data
memory) 14 digital I/O pins 6 Analog Inputs USB
Connection 16 Mhz xtal Power USB or External
ICSP header Reset button 10 bit A/D
8
AVR Studio

• Windows based GUI for developing software for
  Atmel 8-bit MCU product line
• gcc based cross compiler
• Built-in simulator for pre-build software testing
• Built-in debugger
• step-in, step-out, step-over
• view all registers, memories (flash, sram)?
• breakpoints, tracing, watching variables
