Implementing the Super-Loop
This chapter presents an example program that implements a timed super-loop. This chapter also shows you how to create the program using the dev-board’s IDE. The timed super-loop’s design was presented in the prior chapter.
The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide background information on embedded-systems programming, for programmers who are new to embedded-systems, or new to the MCU and IDE. The example-program is provided in source code, and it can be built with the IDE, and run on the dev-board. The example-program is explained, and also, tutorial information is provided for those new to embedded-systems. Also, a tutorial is provided on how to create the example-program from scratch. Experienced embedded-systems programmers may want to just skim this chapter, or skim its tutorial information.
More broadly, the present chapter provides a general understanding of how all of the book’s example-programs were created...
