It feels a lot closer to write for MCUs if you write for 16-bit programs nowadays. The only difference is that MCUs are much more barebone and so less managed, but the constraints set by hardware however is the most distinctive common spot.

- stevefan1999 7y agoThink MCUs are of the kinds like Arduino and microBit. There are also SBCs where bigger and more power hungry devices like Raspberry Pi belongs to.
- that_jojo 7y agoSuper late, but the term MCU refers to the actual chip -- analogous to SoC for the main chip on a raspi. You don't call the raspi an SoC, and it's debatable that you'd call a prototyping platform like Arduino an MCU. The MCU is the main Atmel AVR, Microchip PIC, or similar part that drives such a board.
