microprocessors programming?

can intel (or any other in general) microprocessors be programmed in any language other than assembly language?

which is the language that is most often used? in that case..

which microprocessor of intel is most widely used?

  • Assembler is by far and aways the most common way of programming a microprocessor. It is possible to program directly in machine code, i.e. entering the hex bytes in directly, but this gets complicated when it comes to calculating jumps and branches on condition bits or flags. Early minicomputers had an engineering panel to enable you to do this but it was laborious. Assembler simplifies this task. Each series of microprocessors has its own unique machine code and associated assembler.

    The most common Intel processor is the x86 series which includes processors from the early 8086, 80486, Pentium and the latest Dual Core processors amongst others. Additional instructions were added to the instruction set on later processors to deal with the increased functionality and the increased data bus width.

    There are some embedded micro-controller chips which can be programmed using what is known as embedded C. These processors are part of an embedded system not a general processor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system .

  • not really, if you are programming in any other language then there is some interface or compiler between you and the processor, so its not that you are programming the processor,

    assembly language is the language u program in!

    and as for the most widely used one, it should be the pentium series, although the new core series, should be overtaking it!

  • Do you have already got you ever 8051 uC geared up right into a circuit with all of those sensors? Why did you %. the 8051? do you may desire to build this circuit or are you able to apply off the shelf factors to bolt mutually the function. if so you ought to use a percentor yet another easier microcontroller like a uncomplicated stamp. the uncomplicated stamp is designed as an academic get admission to element for microcontrollers
