Embedded Systems Development Using Keil uVision 4 and LPC214x Microcontroller
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research paper examines embedded systems development through the combination of Keil uVision 4 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and LPC214x microcontroller in detail. This paper demonstrates basic GPIO control of LPC214x microcontroller through a practical example that shows GPIO configuration alongside delay generation and Keil uVision 4 development and debugging methods. The paper examines Keil uVision 4's role in embedded systems development by discussing its features alongside its capabilities to simplify code writing and compilation and debugging for ARM-based microcontrollers. The paper presents images which demonstrate Keil uVision 4 interface alongside code execution and hardware setup pictures.
