Help version: 2014/12/15
The mikroC PRO for FT90x is a powerful, feature-rich development tool for FT90x microcontrollers. It is designed to provide the programmer with the easiest possible solution to developing applications for embedded systems, without compromising performance or control.
mikroC PRO for FT90x IDE
The FT90x is a 32-bit Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) family of general purpose high performance and low power microcontrollers.
Having a wide range of application, being prized for its efficiency, FT90x MCUs are a natural choice for developing embedded systems. mikroC PRO for FT90x provides a successful match featuring highly advanced IDE, ANSI compliant compiler, broad set of hardware libraries, comprehensive documentation, and plenty of ready-to-run examples.
Features
mikroC PRO for FT90x allows you to quickly develop and deploy complex applications:
- Write your source code using the built-in Code Editor (Code and Parameter Assistants, Code Folding, Syntax Highlighting, Auto Correct, Code Templates, and more.)
- Use included mikroC PRO for FT90x libraries to dramatically speed up the development: data acquisition, memory, displays, conversions, communication etc.
- Monitor your program structure, variables, and functions in the Code Explorer.
- Generate commented, human-readable assembly, and standard HEX compatible with all programmers.
- Use the integrated Hardware Real-Time debugging tool to monitor program execution on the hardware level.
- Inspect program flow and debug executable logic with the integrated Software Simulator.
- Use Single Static Assignment optimization to shrink your code to even smaller size.
- Get detailed reports and graphs: RAM and ROM map, code statistics, assembly listing, calling tree, and more.
- Active Comments enable you to make your comments alive and interactive.
- mikroC PRO for FT90x provides plenty of examples to expand, develop, and use as building bricks in your projects. Copy them entirely if you deem fit – that’s why we included them with the compiler.
Where to Start
- In case that you’re a beginner in programming the FT90x microcontrollers, read carefully the FT90x Specifics chapter. It might give you some useful pointers on the FT90x constraints, code portability, and good programming practices.
- If you are experienced in C programming, you will probably want to consult mikroC PRO for FT90x Specifics first. For language issues, you can always refer to the comprehensive Language Reference. A complete list of included libraries is available at mikroC PRO for FT90x Libraries.
- If you are not very experienced in C programming, don’t panic! mikroC PRO for FT90x provides plenty of examples making it easy for you to go quickly through it. We suggest that you first consult Projects and Source Files first, and then start browsing the examples that you're the most interested in.
