Xduino forum decision

Posted by Ram in ARM, detail, development tools, programming on October 14th, 2009

We are currently deciding to go with either phpBB or SMF. If you have experience with these forums please let us know your opinion.

The topics within the discussion forum will include but not limited to:
- Xduino IDE (including ARM Compiler) and Xduino library (with Arduino-like commands) feature request/comment/suggestion/ideas
- Interesting program/projects/library
- Help channel and trouble shooting

Let us know what you think.

XDUINO IDE v0.91 notes

Posted by Ram in ARM, Cortex-M3, compiler, development tools, programming on October 8th, 2009

First, we would like to thank those who have given feedback on XDUINO IDE which contains ARM Compiler, libraries, and other tools necessary for getting the Xduino project running.

Important notes:

  • If you get anti-virus warning from running the software, you can ignore it if you have signed up and downloaded the software from our site. The warnings are inaccurate. We have seen this generally happens with compressed/encrypted executable files. For some anti-virus program you might have to make it explicitly exclude the XDUINO-IDE executable file from the anti-virus software.
     
  • After starting the IDE if you see “Verifying” at the bottom of the IDE, it means that the IDE is trying to Verify your registration information. There is no need to wait for this to complete if you have registered properly. You can start using the IDE immediately.

    XDUINO-IDE v0.91 released

    Posted by Ram in ARM, Cortex-M3, compiler, development tools, embedded, programming, programming example on September 7th, 2009

    XDUINO-IDE (v0.91) with integrated uploader tool is finally here. The current release will only be available for those who have bought an XDUINO board from us.

    If you have bought a board from us and wants to download the IDE, please send us a note and we’ll get back to you asap.

    XDUINO package with library files has been renamed XDUINO-lib.

    There is also a minor upgrade for XDUINO-lib in the just released version 0.33

    Happy XDUINOing

    Xduino 0.3 released

    Posted by Ram in ARM, Cortex-M3, Xduino release, programming on August 5th, 2009

    Finally Xduino version 0.3 has been released. This version has all Arduino platform functions except for analogReference() function.

    On top of the the above, Xduino have taken a step further by extending the functionalities above and beyond current scope. For more information please check the Documentation section.

    This version also includes Keil RV-MDK project file example.

    About XDuino

    Posted by Ram in ARM, Cortex-M3, compiler, detail, development tools, embedded, programming, programming example on July 12th, 2009

    Arduino platform has definitely enabled a lot of people including those non-tech savvy ones to enter into the electronics worlds. From the beauty of Arduino, now comes the challenge in making Arduino-like environment accessible across as many hardware platforms as possible. This would enable the simplicity and yet powerful Arduino platform to harvest on more powerful resources provided by different hardware to overcome hardware limitations based on different needs. 

    This approach will never be fully realized without contributors. So all contributions are welcome. Also, comments/suggestions will be highly appreciated. : -)

    Let’s see what wonders we can create together…

    Now, a little about me. My name is Ram, I am an independent IT consultant based in Bangkok and really like the Arduino project but it did not fit my needs so I started playing with ARM and manage to understand a bit about it then started this project. Feel free to contact me via the Contact us page : -)

    Arduino-like library for ARM platform

    Posted by Ram in ARM, detail, embedded, programming on July 12th, 2009

    Arduino-like library for ARM platform

    This project has been started for making ARM processor boards (the platform which is much more powerful)  be easily accessible just like Arduino. Nowadays you can find ARM boards easily.

    This idea came about when running into limitation of resources provided by the ATMEGA processor and with short learning curve for Arduino platform.

    This starting point focuses on ARM Cortex-M3 processor from STM32F10ret6 platform it runs at 72MHz processor 512KB of flash memory and 64KB of RAM, many several USART communication ports and a lot of GPIO pins.

    Library for other boards will be added as the board gets within reach.

    See more at Platform page
