Computers don’t simply "understand" code in the way humans do. They rely on a highly sophisticated series of steps to interpret, compile, and execute the instructions provided by code. In this video, ...

The microcontroller’s CPU reads program code from memory, one instruction at a time, decodes each instruction, and then executes it. All memory content—both program code and data—is in binary form: ...

Moving forward on the Embedded Systems Programming, the 3rd part of the series presents the programming languages, and software development of the microcontroller. The article describes the machine ...

A programming language that is one step away from machine language. Each assembly language statement is translated into a machine instruction by the assembler. Programmers must be well versed in the ...
