DEVELOPMENT, PROGRAMMING, AND DEBUGGING ENVIRONMENT

A system interface of a processing system receives an indication to initiate configuration of a programmable system. A processing device coupled to the system interface and associated with an integrated development environment, responsive to the indication, translates a hardware description code into one or more configuration files specific to the programmable system, the hardware description code to describe circuitry in the programmable system. The processing device further generates program code for a microcontroller of the programmable system based, at least in part, on the hardware description code, and configures the programmable system to implement the circuitry according to the configuration files and the program code. In addition, the processing device debugs the programmable system as configured by the configuration files and the program code.
