Embedded Tab
The Embedded tab is a workspace in Atmosphere Studio for developing an IoT project’s embedded firmware. While in the Embedded tab, the Element Toolbox displays elements that execute on the project’s end device. Embedded elements operate as a bridge between the embedded firmware and device interacting with it.
The Embedded tab’s toolbar includes access to the code editor and the programmer.
Embedded Code Editor
The code editor is an advanced text editor for writing and modifying the embedded code of a project. Click the 
button to display the embedded code editor beside the Embedded tab’s canvas. While the code editor is open, any embedded element selected in the canvas has its corresponding code highlighted.
In addition to being dragged and dropped into the canvas, embedded elements may have their source code customized when added to the canvas and when connected to other elements. While most elements do not require their code to be customized and are designed to operate as-is, the option is available to expand their functionality through custom code. The function element for example is a blank slate element, which relies entirely on customizing code to your liking.
The default headers in the code editor include an area to define variables and custom functions, an interval function, a connected function, a disconnected function, and a setup function.
#include "callbacks.h"
//END
void interval() {
}
void connected() {
}
void disconnected() {
}
void setup() {
}
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Interval | Perform actions on a set interval. |
| Connected | Perform actions when a connection is established to a target device. |
| Disconnected | Perform actions when a connected device is disconnected. |
| Setup | Define anything that requires initialization upon being loaded. |
The code editor also includes a toolbar with access to the Atmosphere embedded API list and the console, as well as the drop-down menu to modify the code editor’s theme.
Embedded APIs
The code editor enables you to utilize the Atmosphere embedded APIs and drivers to edit embedded code. Each driver is compatible with all Atmosphere supported hardware.
For the complete list of Atmosphere’s embedded APIs and using them, visit Using the Nimbus API.
Download Embedded Source
You can download a project’s embedded source code from the Embedded tab.
To download the embedded source files, click the 
button from the Embedded tab’s toolbar.
Embedded Programmer
The programmer is an interface that programs the compiled project’s embedded firmware into the end device. Click the 
button to display the programming interface.
For complete instructions on setup, using the programmer, and troubleshooting information, visit Programming Firmware.
For some project types, this button may instead download firmware files directly or perform other actions. For more information about hardware and their programming methods, visit their pages within the Supported Devices section.
