About Keil Software

Keil uVision is a software development environment that comes with project management, and a powerful, contemporary editor. It contains various tools required to create embedded applications.

µVision offers the following features, which facilitate the development of embedded applications more quickly:

• A feature-rich editor for source code.
• Device Databases for setting up the tool for development.
• A project manager to help you start and finish your work.
• Integrated capabilities for linking, assembling, and compiling your embedded applications with the Make Utility.
• Dialogs for every setting in the development environment.
• A real combined source-level and assembler-level debugger, along with a fast peripheral simulator and CPU.
• Advanced GDI interface for connecting to a Keil ULINK Debug Adapter and software debugging on target hardware.
• A tool for flash programming that allows you to download applications into Flash ROM.
• Connections to user manuals, device datasheets, online assistance, and manuals.

Programmers may quickly and successfully design embedded applications with the help of the many features offered by the µVision IDE and Debugger, which is the core of the Keil development toolchain. You may accomplish your design objectives quickly and easily with the aid of the user-friendly Keil tools.

µVision has a Debug Mode for debugging applications and a Build Mode for generating new ones. Software can be debugged directly on hardware using tools like ULINK Debug , Trace Adapters, or integrated with the µVision Simulator. Other adapters and external third-party tools are available for developers to employ in order to assess programs.

The ARM Cortex-M4 is a 32-bit processor core that is widely used in microcontrollers for embedded systems. It is designed to be highly efficient, and low-cost. The Cortex-M4 architecture is based on the ARMv7 instruction set architecture and It’s capable of handling up to 4GB of memory address space.

In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to blink the inbuilt LED of an ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller using the Keil software and the C programming language.
