The selection of the development kit basically confirms the selection of the microcontroller. The final consideration is to check the available compilers and tools. Most microcontrollers offer a variety of compiler, sample code, and debugging tool options.
It is essential to have all necessary tools prepared for this component. Without the right tools, the development process may become tedious and costly.
Step 10: Start the experiment
Even if a microcontroller is selected, it does not mean it remains unchanged. Usually, it takes a long time to obtain the first prototype hardware after receiving the development kit. At this point, a test circuit can be constructed and interface with the microcontroller. Select high-risk components and have them work on the development kit.
You may find that previously thought excellent components have some unforeseen issues and have to choose other microcontrollers. In any case, early experimentation will ensure that you make the right choices, and any necessary changes will have minimal impact!
