Embedded C

In this article about Embedded C, we will explore different aspects related to this topic that is so relevant today. Throughout the next few lines, we will analyze its origins, its evolution over time and its impact on society. We will also examine the different perspectives and opinions on Embedded C, as well as its relevance in the present and future. This article seeks to provide an overview and complete overview of Embedded C, with the aim of giving readers a deeper understanding of this topic and its implications in various areas.

Embedded C is a set of language extensions for the C programming language by the C Standards Committee to address commonality issues that exist between C extensions for different embedded systems.

Embedded C programming typically requires nonstandard extensions to the C language in order to support enhanced microprocessor features such as fixed-point arithmetic, multiple distinct memory banks, and basic I/O operations. The C Standards Committee produced a Technical Report, most recently revised in 2008 and reviewed in 2013, providing a common standard for all implementations to adhere to. It includes a number of features not available in normal C, such as fixed-point arithmetic, named address spaces and basic I/O hardware addressing. Embedded C uses most of the syntax and semantics of standard C, e.g., main() function, variable definition, datatype declaration, conditional statements (if, switch case), loops (while, for), functions, arrays and strings, structures and union, bit operations, macros, etc.
