Did you expect many people to busy themselves answering the same questions?

How many more forums have you posted to?

By the way - there are no "one" way to connect a GSM to a microcontroller. It depends on controller and GSM module/phone and supply voltages and available interfaces etc.

You either know assembler, or you don't. If you don't, then consider using C instead. Why? Because the code will look very similar for different processors, so there will be a huge amount of examples to be found using Google.


While your first premise is correct, I'd not bet on the notion that 'C' fixes inability to do the job, Per. The code for different MCU's will probably look quite different, but will effectively be quite similar in its effect. Further, if you can't do it in ASM, you just aren't sufficiently versed to do it at all. You have to know what has to be done, and you have to know how the MCU you're using does that. Failing in that, well, you just fail.

I submit that, if you don't know your MCU's assembly language, then you don't know the MCU you're using. In that case, you simply don't know how to do the job, and neither 'C' nor any other HLL will help you.

You don't have to DO it in ASM, but you must understand the task and the environment well enough to do it in ASM. 'C' is not a shortcut around learning the MCU and its functional capabilities.
