G+_Rud Dog Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Interesting question about compiling via Arduino IDE. Does the process of compiling a sketch create a binary and if so where does it store it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Gros Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The Atmel Processor contain non-volatile memory (meaning the memory will persist after a power cycle) called flash memory. The arduino sketch is translated from C/C++ to machine code and then is stored in flash memory. Arduino is not really anything special as far as the processor is concerned. Just like Atmel Studio, you can write C/C++ code. Arduino just tries to simplify the process, hide the hardware details and provide a lot of libraries to pull from.
