As you might be thinking, there is no way to answer such a question without knowing what’s meant by “The Best”. That really depends on what is the type of embedded computer platform involved in developing specific applications and some other factors as we’ll see hereafter.<\/p>\n
Developing simple robotic systems, control systems, IOT, or any sort of “Bare-Metal” programming with low-end MCUs is done mostly in C<\/strong>. As well as Assembly<\/strong> for tiny tasks and parts, for loaders, start-up codes and for context switching. Occasionally, a very limited version of C++<\/strong> is also used.<\/p>\n Examples for low-end development platforms include: {8-Bit MCUs (AVRs, PICs, etc) – Arduinos – Low-End ARM Microcontrollers (Cortex M0, M3, M4) }.<\/p>\n Note That: The Arduino programming language is a pseudolanguage called wiring and it’s a C++ based and compiles down to machine language using the standard avr-gcc compiler integrated within their IDE.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
