Arduino Toolchain 2
What is Arduino Tool Chain?

Toolchain (IDE)
• A toolchain is a set of programming tools that is used to perform a
complex set of operations.

• In the Arduino Software (IDE) the toolchain is hidden from the user,
but it is used to compile and upload the user Sketch.

• It includes compiler, assembler, linker and Standard C & math


libraries.

1.Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)


✓ The Arduino IDE is a graphical software application that
provides an interface for writing, compiling, and uploading
code to Arduino boards.
✓ It includes a code editor, a compiler, and tools for managing
libraries, boards, and serial communication.
✓ The Arduino IDE simplifies the development process for
beginners by providing an easy-to-use interface.

2. AVR-GCC Compiler

✓ The Arduino IDE uses the AVR-GCC (GNU Compiler Collection


for AVR) compiler

✓ It converts Arduino code written in the Arduino programming


language (a variant of C/C++) into machine code that can run
on the Atmel AVR microcontrollers used in Arduino boards.

3. Boards Manager
✓ The Boards Manager is a part of the Arduino IDE.

✓ It allows user to install and manage different board


definitions, enabling user to program various types of Arduino-
compatible boards, including official Arduino boards and third-
party boards.

4. Libraries

✓ Libraries are pre-written code modules that provide specific


functionality, such as handling sensors, communication
protocols, and other hardware-related tasks.

✓ The Arduino IDE includes a Library Manager that makes it easy


to add, remove, and manage libraries in the projects.

5. Bootloader
✓ The bootloader is a small piece of software that resides on the microcontroller and
allows user to upload new firmware (code) to the board without needing a separate
hardware programmer.
✓ It provides a way to communicate with the microcontroller via a serial connection
for programming.

6. AVRDUDE
• AVRDUDE is a utility used to upload firmware* to AVR
microcontrollers using various programming methods,
including serial, parallel, and USB connections.

• The Arduino IDE uses AVRDUDE under the hood to upload


compiled code to the Arduino board.

*Firmware is software that provides basic machine instructions that


allow the hardware to function and communicate with other software
running on a device.

7. USB Drivers
✓ Depending on the type of Arduino board which user is using,
USB drivers need to be installed on computer to establish a
communication link between the board and the Arduino IDE.

8. Serial Monitor
✓ The Serial Monitor is a feature within the Arduino IDE that
allows user to communicate with Arduino board through the
serial port.

✓ It's commonly used for debugging and monitoring the output


of the Arduino programs.
