Introduction CS 212 Dick Steflik

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

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 and WINAVR for development and software simulation Arduino , MCU demonstration and development board for real target system

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

MCU Software Development We will be developing on Windows using AVR Studio 4 (or 5)(free download) WINAVR (free download) GUI based development tool shell for WINAVR 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 ATmega 328 MCU. The ATmega 328 has many more capabilities than the Arduino provides. It (Arduino)has: Atmel ATmega 328 MCU 32 K bytes flash program memory 1 K byte EEPROM 2 K 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

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
