Marvin_G WROTE:zhenning WROTE:Marvin_G WROTE:About the software, i need the processor to send command to the fingerprint reader automatically once i turn it on or click on something. I mean i will create a program to send command and put it in external database such as MySql and i need the program to run automatically once i turn on the processor. can i use MPLAB IDE?
You want to use MPLAB IDE for? These are compilers and they generate codes so that it can be burn onto your chips. Are you making an MySQL table that burns the code to the processor each time it starts??? For ARM you cannot use MPLAB IDE, its only for PIC. You need ARM compilers, keil, code sourcery, etc. You need the GUI to run automatically?
the ARM processor running linux debian platform,why it cant use MPLAB X IDE?
example, my GUI is generated by PHP. whenever i press a "button" maybe its called "start matching",then a .exe file is executed. not really automatically. That .exe file, can it be generated using MPLAB X IDE?
As I have told you before, MPLAB IDE/ MPLAB X is a cross compiler for PIC and only PIC compiler. THAT IS: It generates the binary for PIC microcontroller architecture and it has to be loaded into the chip. If you use another microcontroller: Atmel, then, you need Arduino, AVR Studio and etc.It cannot be use to make GUIs.THUS, you cannot use it. Can you?
ARM architecture is different. It needs other binaries and implement a different set of codes. The .exe you build is a GUI and it needs other language and IDE. That is: Visual Basic, Qt, C#, Python, etc. These requires other IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse, Qt Creator and many more.... So, do you understand?
