STR71x SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT GETTING STARTED

1 SOFTWARE SETTINGS

This chapter describes the different steps needed to creating and configuring an STR71x

project. Neither the toolset installation nor the licence management are described in this ap-

plication note. This document assumes that the toolset is already installed on the development

host. For more details on RealView toolset installation and licences’ management, refer to the

RealView Debugger Installation Guide for Windows.

For more details on creating and running applications, refer to the RealView Debugger Essen-

tials Guide. RealView Debugger documents are available from the ARM website.

The ARM RealView provides a graphical user interface tool for managing your software devel-

opment projects.

This section describes the steps required for creating, building and debugging an STR71x

standard application using the RealView toolset. This application consists of toggling the I/O

port 0 peripheral pins. The I/Os, configured as push-pull outputs, are toggled in an endless

loop every 130 ms (the external clock operates at a frequency of 16 MHz).

The application source code files are located in the example 1 of ’AN1774.zip’ file and are

made of, besides the standard files described in Section 2.1, the ‘main.c’ file containing the

main routine.

1.1 STARTING REALVIEW DEBUGGER
