Embedded C

This article will address the topic of Embedded C, which has gained great relevance in recent years. Embedded C is a topic that has generated extensive debate in today's society, both nationally and internationally. Through various perspectives and approaches, the multiple facets that surround Embedded C will be analyzed, as well as its impact on different areas of daily life. Its origins, its social, political and economic implications will be explored, as well as its impact on popular culture and technology. This article seeks to offer a comprehensive view of Embedded C, providing the reader with a broader and deeper understanding of this topic that is so relevant today.

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.
