Setting up the development environment with STM32CubeIDE

Now that we are aware of some of the basics to start with embedded systems, its is time to setup development environment. An embedded development environment refers consists of set of tools, software, and hardware used by developers to create, test, and debug software for embedded systems. Here are some essential components of an embedded

Microcontroller Architectures

The Harvard architecture is a type of microcontroller architecture that has separate memory spaces for program and data. This means that instructions and data are stored in different memory spaces, which allows for faster data transfer. One of the main advantages of Harvard architecture is its speed. However, it also tends to be more expensive than other architectures.
The Von Neumann architecture is another common microcontroller architecture. Unlike the Harvard architecture, the Von Neumann architecture has a single memory space for both program and data. This makes it less expensive than the Harvard architecture. However, it can also result in slower data transfer speeds.
