Programming or burning a microcontroller means” transferring programs from the compiler to the microcontroller”s memory “.
The program of a microcontroller is usually written in C or assembly language, and the compiler generates a hexadecimal file
containing machine language instructions (such as zero sum instructions that the microcontroller can understand). It is the content
of the microcontroller that is transmitted to the microcontroller, and once the program is transferred to the microcontroller”s memory,
it works according to that program.
How to program a microcontroller?
A microcontroller is an integrated chip in which we store code written in assembly language. Therefore, to dump the encoded program into the
microcontroller IC, we need a device called a burner or programmer. A programmer is a hardware device with software that can read the contents
of hexadecimal files stored on a PC or laptop. It will read hexadecimal file data serial or USB cable and transfer the data to the microcontroller”s memory.
For different microcontrollers, programmers and compilers are different, which varies for different companies, such as programming
microcontrollers using 8051 microcontroller “flash magic” and programming microcontrollers using AT89C51 microcontroller “programmer”.
This is how we program code in microcontrollers with burners or programmers.
