ARM Demos: Almost all of the ARM demos posted here were built with IAR EWARM v4.x and require IAR + J-Link to download to your board. In v5, IAR changed to the standard ELF format, so it is likely that a demo marked for IAR v5.x can be downloaded using other tools. However, it is necessary to create a debug macro file using the proper syntax for your tools. You can use the provided .mac file as a guide.

CodeWarrior: Ensure it is not set to build before running (since there is no source code to build). Edit | Preferences. In the left pane, select General | Build Settings. In the right pane, set "Build before running" to Never.

Note that we also provide free SMX Evaluation Kits to demonstrate tool integration, BSP support, the smx kernel, and some other products. The Evaluation Kits give you the feel of using the SMX RTOS. We recommend you also try the Evaluation Kit for your board.

Most boards below are the official evaluation board made by the chip vendor. For the exceptions, the board vendor is indicated in parentheses.


SMX Multi-Module Demos

These demos contain several SMX modules working together.

smxFS

This demo mounts the media and writes some files to it and reads back the contents of the files to check if it works correctly. Connect a terminal to the UART to see the status messages. See the readme for specific instructions. We recommend you insert blank media so it is easy to delete the files created by the demo.

Each demo below includes up to 3 demos for different device emulators. Mass storage is not included for boards with insufficient RAM, such as for microcontrollers with no external memory bus. Connect a terminal to the UART to see the status messages. See the readme for specific instructions.

Mouse: Makes the target board look like a mouse. When you connect a USB cable to a Windows host, the mouse pointer will move for a few seconds, wait a few seconds, and then repeat.

Serial: Makes the target board look like a serial device. Once connected to a USB host, you can use a terminal emulator such as Hyperterminal or our TestComm program to send data to it, and the demo echoes it back. TestComm sends a whole file so it lets you test large transfers.

Mass Storage: Makes the target board look like a USB disk. When you connect a USB cable to a Windows host, a new drive window will open and you can drag and drop files onto it. You can do "Safely Remove Hardware" in Windows and disconnect the USB cable, as you would with a USB flash disk. Then you can plug it back in and access the files that were previously stored on it.

smxUSBH

This demo includes the USB host stack mass storage and mouse class drivers. When you connect a USB drive to the USB host port, the demo will automatically mount the FAT file system on the drive and create some files on it and read back the contents of the file to check if it works correctly. You can also plug in a USB mouse to the host port and move it and press the buttons. Connect a terminal to the UART to see the status messages. See the readme for specific instructions.

smxUSBO

This demo includes the USB host stack, device stack, OTG add-on, and mouse class driver. You run it on two devices connected with an OTG cable and it allows you to switch their roles. Connect a terminal to the UART to see the status messages and to type a key to switch roles. See the readme for specific instructions.

DOStap (DOS & BIOS interrupt logging program) 68K (multiple files, compressed)
This TSR will unobtrusively log the DOS & BIOS calls that your program makes. With the list produced, you will see which calls will need to be emulated if DOS is removed from your system (such as when moving to protected mode). Check the list in the unDOS documentation to see what calls we already have emulated. This program is supplied free of charge to prospects considering purchasing unDOS and is not to be distributed, except by Micro Digital.
