It uses C and provides a basic interface and support runtime library. To simplify the system, Arduino provides a limited starting point for users. What Digilent and Microchip have done is to bring the Microchip's C compiler support to the IDE and the Arduino runtime.įor those unfamiliar with Arduino, the platform is designed for new developers, hobbyists and other casual developers. The Arduino Processing-based IDE supports Windows, Linux and MacOS.
I downloaded the software from Digilent's website. They come in tiny boxes that only contain the boards. I recently got my hands on Digilent's $26.95 chipKIT Uno32 (Fig. That is significant but what is more significant is that the full Arduino development system is also supported. There have been other microcontrollers placed in an Arduino form factor but Digilent's latest offering puts Microchip's 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller into the mix.
Atmel's 8-bit AVR ATmega microcontroller is at the heart of the original Arduino prototyping system that has garnered support from a range of developers, vendors, and universities.
Arduino is a form factor, hardware platform and software development environment.
