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

4. 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

7. Arduino 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 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:

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
