Abstract
A method and a system for using a graphics user interface for programming a microcontroller. The microcontroller design system includes a device editor system with integrated datasheet information and having three independent, but integrated workspaces to provide a programmer an organized way of displaying device editor information. The three workspaces include a user module selection workspace, a user module placement workspace and a user module pin out workspace for allowing the programmer to select desired function components for a target microcontroller device. The user module selection workspace allows the programmer to select desired components from a list of user modules and the placement workspace allows user modules to be placed in allowable hardware resources. The user module pin out workspace provides the programmer with the means to retrieve pin out information on the selected user modules that constitute the desired target microcontroller device design.
