Posted on May 17, 2011 at 13:17I have started Xduino project at
http://www.xduino.com
which enables a simplified programming syntax to work on other non-ATMEGA/AVR mcu and so far I did manage to come out with set of platform libraries for ARM Cortex-M3. The simplified syntax is based on Arduino syntax from
http://www.arduino.cc
as it did which offers simple learning curve for users to get into programming a microcontroller systems.
Due to some limitation of today's Arduino hardware support for some of my projects I have decided to pick a more suitable solution and that's how I got into ARM and that's how Xduino came about.
You can check Xduino site out and also download the library for ARM Cortex-M3 and test it out.
Not all functions has been documented yet but you can have a good feel from the example below.
Please let me know if you have a chance to try it out.
The current Xduino release is v0.11.
Other mcu support will be added when I can get a hold of other hardware platform.
I have only tested this on ARM Cortex-M3 STM32F10ret6. I think it would just work on other STM32F10x boards as well (However, I can't confirm as I don't have other boards at the moment)
Note that C++ compiler is required (not standard C)
From
http://www.xduino.com/arm-cortex-m3/ /* Xduino library initialization */
#include ''main.h''
int LedPin = PB7; // as labelled on your ARM Cortex-M3 board
int main(void)
{
doInit(); //Initialize
Serial1.begin(115200); //USART1
Serial1.println(''Starting Xduino example...'');
pinMode(LedPin,OUTPUT);
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
digitalWrite(LedPin,HIGH);
delay(200);
digitalWrite(LedPin,LOW);
delay(200);
}
if(digitalRead(LedPin))
{
Serial1.println(''On'');
} else {
Serial1.println(''Off'');
}
while(1)
{
if(Serial1.available())
{
Serial1.print(''Character ''); //print string
Serial1.print(Serial1.read()); //print single input character
Serial1.println(''...''); //print string with new line
}
}
}
