Sample Software Disclaimer

  • Several sample applications
    • Accelerometer - Demonstrates how to read the accelerometer sensor, via analog inputs.
    • Digital to Analog Converter - Audio - Demonstrates how to use the digital to analog converter (DAC). An audio application that outputs a sequence of samples from a WAV-file.
    • CAN - Demonstrates how to setup and program the CAN channel. Loop back application between CAN channel#1 and #2.
    • I2C - PCA9532 io-expander - Demonstrates how to communicate with the PCA9532 io-expander over the I2C interface. Controls LEDs and read keys.
    • Joystick - Demonstrates how to read the joystick switch positions.
    • QVGA LCD Setup - Demonstrates how to initialize the LCD controller and the external QVGA display. Contains a small graphical library.
    • Realtime Operating System Demos - Some sample applications for the RTOS; counting semaphore, interrupts usage, multiple process instantiations, queue handleing, simplest setup, stack usage, timer process.
    • RTC / Alarm output - Demonstrates how to program the RTC peripheral (real time clock) and how to activate the external alarm output.
    • Interrupt Driven Implementation for UART #1 - Demonstrates an interrupt driven implementation for UART #1.
    • Touch Screen - Demonstrates how to use the touch screen. Contains a simple calibration application.
    • Polled Ethernet - Demonstrates how to use the Ethernet controller. The example is a simple Ping application.
