The mikroPascal PRO for ARM is a powerful, feature-rich development tool for ARM microcontrollers. It is designed to provide the programmer with the easiest possible solution to developing applications for embedded systems, without compromising performance or control.

mikroPascal PRO for ARM IDE

The ARM is a 32-bit family of general purpose microcontrollers. It is the industry's leading 32-bit embedded microprocessor, offering a wide range of processors based on a common architecture that deliver high performance, industry leading power efficiency and reduced system cost.

Having a wide range of application, being prized for its efficiency, ARM MCUs are a natural choice for developing embedded systems. mikroPascal PRO for ARM 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

mikroPascal PRO for ARM 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 mikroPascal PRO for ARM 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.
• mikroPascal PRO for ARM 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 ARM microcontrollers, read carefully the ARM Specifics chapter. It might give you some useful pointers on the ARM constraints, code portability, and good programming practices.
• If you are experienced in Pascal programming, you will probably want to consult mikroPascal PRO for ARM Specifics first. For language issues, you can always refer to the comprehensive Language Reference. A complete list of included libraries is available at mikroPascal PRO for ARM Libraries.
• If you are not very experienced in Pascal programming, don’t panic! mikroPascal PRO for ARM 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.
