What is the mainstream programming language for microcontrollers? [Copy link]

 

The mainstream programming languages for microcontrollers are assembly language and C language.

The C language of the microcontroller is a compiled programming language that combines the characteristics of multiple high-level languages and has the functions of assembly language.

C language has rich library functions, fast operation speed, high compilation efficiency, good portability, and can directly control system hardware. In addition, C language programs have a complete program module structure, which provides a strong guarantee for the use of modular programming methods in software development.

Assembly language is a symbolic language that uses text mnemonics to represent machine instructions. It is the language closest to machine code. Its main advantages are that it takes up less resources and has high program execution efficiency. Since one instruction corresponds to one machine code, the execution action of each step is very clear, and the program size and stack call status are easy to control, making debugging more convenient.

However, the assembly languages of different types of microcontrollers may be slightly different, so it is not easy to port because their instruction systems are different.

Is assembly still the mainstream? Now it is basically C, and some still support Python

Assembly language is not mainstream now.

Less resource usage and high execution efficiency.
The biggest disadvantage is that the instruction sets of different MCUs are different, which makes it difficult to transplant.

The MCU level is mainly C language. If it is ARM Linux level, C++ and shell will also be used.

It’s not possible to do assembly language now, but it was possible before the 2000s.

It doesn't work now.

Now there are many functional requirements and time is required quickly.

You can only use C or a more advanced language. C is a must.

Indeed, in the past, all microcontrollers, such as PIC, were assembled. I personally feel that after 2007, they gradually switched to C language. At that time, the company recruited several new graduate students, whose job was to replace all the company's previous assembly programs with C language.

There are many C languages, but now many embedded systems use Python, which I think is very good.

C. When I was learning Java, I seemed to have heard that Java also supports hardware.

Java requires higher hardware costs.

The mainstream voice of single chip microcomputer is C

The main microcontrollers must be C, because C language is closest to the bottom layer
