(lil' bit OOT) C in microcontroller

[chipp]

sorry if out-of-topic, i need to ask about C programming in microcontroller.
1. what's the best compiler (or IDE) for programming C/C++ language for microcontroller?
2. what version of microcontroller that's been used lately?

thanks before.

i thought few people has replied... apparently, not...

The currently most used microcontroller is probably ARM.
Take a look at arduino or RasberryPi

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi

They sometimes come with their own IDE, but since mostly the gnu compiler is used you can use one of the IDEs exiting for it. Such as code blocke, eclipse, etc.

i thought it was 8051? what about 8051?

What compiler/IDE you use for a micro-controller will vary with the micro-controller. Normally the chip manufacturer will have links to their recommend compiler, and sometimes they will have an "evaluation" version of the compiler that is available for download. So the first place to check is the manufacturers web site.

other than that, when you decide on a microcontroller, see what the manufacturer has.

2. what version of microcontroller that's been used lately?

Look at AVR or ARM Cortex M (Raspberry Pi uses an Arm microprocessor not micro controller).

The Tiva C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad (ARM Cortex-M4-based micro controllers from Texas Instruments) looks interesting.
