smxARM Development Kit Contents
- Pre-built smxARM kernel library
- Source code platform (Protosystem) for an easy start (configured for an eval board)
- smxBSP for the selected processor
- SMX Quick Start, smx Target Guide, smx User's Guide, and smx Reference Manual
- Site development license
- Royalty-free license for one developed product
smxBSP and Startup Code
The smxARM development kit includes smxBSP, startup code, and drivers for on-chip peripherals, such as timers and UART's. smxFS, smxNS, smxUSB, etc. have drivers to support on‑chip and external controllers. Also included is a project file for the EWARM or CrossWorks IDE to begin your application. If your processor is not in the list above, contact us. We are steadily adding new supported processors. For a non-supported processor, you can start with the closest smxBSP and adapt it. See the smxBSP datasheet for more information. We recommend that you purchase the development board listed on our website for your processor. Use this to get a quick start, then modify smxBSP and the startup code for your custom board.
Easy Upgrade to/from Other Processors
smxARM shares the same code base with smx86, smxCF, and smxPPC. Therefore it is easy to migrate between smxARM and other processor versions of smx. If you have experience with smx on one processor, then you are already well down the learning curve for a new project using a different processor.
Debugger Support
smxARM supports symbolic debugging for the IAR and CrossWorks debuggers. smxARM also supports Lauterbach TRACE32 and Signum's JTAGjet + Chameleon debugger.
smxAware is a DLL that adds smx kernel-awareness to the debugger. IAR C-SPY is supported, but CrossWorks cannot be. With it, the debugger is aware of all tasks and smx objects running in the system, and you can:
- Display information about kernel specific objects such as tasks, lsrs, semaphores, exchanges, messages, events, heaps, stacks etc. from an entry added to the main menu.
- View errors, profiling, and other diagnostic information.
- View a graphical window that shows event timelines, CPU usage, and stack usage.
- Display a trace log created by simple string markers output by the code.
Please refer to the smxAware datasheet for further information. Also, the User's Guide is available on our web site.
