Xduino - ARM Compiler and IDE with Arduino-like support » ARM programming

Xduino forum decision

Ram — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:26:50 +0000

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

Ram — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 04:30:05 +0000

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.

ARM compiler, uploader, programming library all in XDUINO-IDE

Ram — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:59:33 +0000

Now as XDUINO-IDE is ready for download, these are the list of components you will find in XDUINO-IDE. This platform provides ease of compiling and uploading to the ARM Cortex-M3 devices by simply clicking the button on the main interface : -).

Main components includes:

Free ARM compiler

ARM compiler with C and C++ libraries

ARM Cortex-M3 stm32f series mcu firmware/software uploader

XDUINO library for programming with Arduino-like syntax

Programming template in XDUINO and general ARM styles

and much much more..

What are you waiting for, you can signup to download it now from Download page.

XDUINO-IDE v0.91 released

Ram — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:58:58 +0000

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 v0.31 released

Ram — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:13:29 +0000

Xduino v0.31 has been released. This release include STM32f10x required libraries as well as project example file for Keil RV-MDK and IAR EWARMv5.

Minor change has been done for serial port buffering to make sure that buffering is done seperately for each serial port.

Xduino 0.3 released

Ram — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:35:11 +0000

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.

Xduino v0.2 to be released

Ram — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:19:37 +0000

The next release of Xduino will be version 0.2 making a jump from version 0.1x as most of the Arduino programming functions has been implemented along with additional features, especially those exceeding what current Arduino platform can provide.

Supported Arduino syntax will be:

pinMode digitalWrite digitalRead

analogRead (12-bits 0-4095 range)

analogWrite (12-bits 0-4095 range true Analog output not PWM)

attachInterrupt (upto 16 interrupts)
detachInterrupt interrupts noInterrupts

delay delayMicroseconds millis micros

Serial – print println read available flush

on top of this more advanced functionality will include:

Setting Serial port Rx and Tx buffer size
Serial.printf – optional C style printf function for Serial port eg.
printf(“hello %d”,123);

digitalToggle – toggle state of digital output

analogLastwrite – get the latest value set by analogwrite

(General purpose Round-Robin library will be included.)

along with endless possibilities offered by C++ libraries

More to follow… Suggestions are always welcome!

ARM programming made simple with Xduino (v0.11)

Ram — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:31:31 +0000

With the current release of Xduino v0.11 for ARM Cortex-M3 STM32 and also future releases of other ARM mcu as well as other non-ARM mcus, here is going to be what you can call ‘Blink’ example.

Before starting, you have to compile this code along with Xduino platform libraries and load it to the board you are using. Once loaded then you can disconnect the board from the computer then connect one wire of an LED to PB7 (you can change this to other Pin on your board, make sure to also change the code) and the other to ground appropriately. Hit reset on your board and the LED should blink.

/* Xduino library initialization */
#include “main.h”

int LedPin = PB7; // as labelled on your ARM Cortex-M3 board

int main(void)
{

doInit(); //Initialize
while(1) //loop this block
{
        digitalWrite(LedPin,HIGH);
        delay(200);
        digitalWrite(LedPin,LOW);
        delay(200);
}

}

Xduino v0.11 released

Ram — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:33:30 +0000

Today Xduino v0.11 has been released. With higher syntax compatibility to Arduino platform.

You can see a simple example and download the latest Xduino release on the ARM Cortex M-3 page.
