Making a micro-controller to work is not a simple one. It consists of different processes, namely coding, compiling, burning(device programming), on the software side. On the hardware side it consists of providing a clock, proper supply voltage(refer datasheet). These are the compulsory requirements for a micro-controller to work.
Coding and compiling can be easily understood, because there are many tutorials in the internet. Burning and last important step for operation of micro-controller. Burning is the process of writing the compiled program(hex data) into the program memory of micro-controller.
To understand how burning works it is necessary to understand the CPU basics. Here is a simplified explanation for it.
CPU is a logical circuitry that executes the instructions from the RAM. The program can be stored in any permanent (memory) storage device. The program can be loaded into RAM from the permanent memory, then the CPU interprets the instructions from the RAM and executes it.
CPU can store the contents (the program) from the RAM in any other storage devices, the program storage device too. Here afterwards we call program storage will simply called program memory.
From the above description,we are clear that, it is enough for us to load the program into the RAM. The micro-controllers have instruction to to feed the RAM with the input from serial or parallel ports. This how it is going to store the program from our computer into program memory.
