C++ with Embedded Boards

[elizabethjones]

Hi,

I am an embedded programmer and I was wondering is it possible to program embedded microcontrollers using C or C++.

STM32 works on C language but other boards like Arduino or Raspberry Pi, can we program them in C?

I am working on this STM project: https://www.theengineeringprojects.com/2021/10/first-project-using-stm32-in-stm32cubeide.html

Thanks.

Yes.

With an Arduino, at least, you can use both (among others) with the appropriate Arduino-based libraries.

Was it only me that misread that?

No...wait you didn't miss it 'cos you asked about it...I misread what you posted...need coffee.

No, but I decided to ignore the ambiguity, and have since found out that 'embedded' programmer is a real job and in demand.

I am not sure that a lot of embedded things support C++ fully. C is commonly used on many things. If it supports C++ at all, you may find some of the more exotic things to be missing on some systems.

Do you want to program in C or C++? Your title says C++, the body of your comment says C.

The Arduino IDE doesn't allow the complete C/C++ standard(s) to be used, it also includes "helper functions" that deviate from "pure" C/C++ programming.
