Blinky Project for Multiple Targets

The Blinky project can be easily used to verify the basic tool setup. It is available for two different targets:

• Arm Cortstone-300 (Cortex-M55)
• NXP K32L3A60VPJ1A (dual-core Cortex-M0+/Cortex-M4)

It is compliant to the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) and uses the CMSIS-RTOS v2 API for RTOS functionality. The CMSIS-RTOS v2 API is supported by various real-time operating systems, for example Keil RTX5 or FreeRTOS.

Operation

• In the beginning, vioLED0 blinks in 1 sec interval.
• Pressing vioBUTTON0 changes the blink frequency and start/stops vioLED1.
• printf messages are shown on the serial console.

The board hardware mapping of vioLED0, vioLED1, and vioBUTTON0 depends on the configuration of the CMSIS-Driver VIO.

The output of the serial console can be observed in a Terminal window on VS Code.

RTOS: Keil RTX5 Real-Time Operating System

The real-time operating system Keil RTX5 implements the resource management.

It is configured with the following settings:

• Global Dynamic Memory size: 24000 bytes
• Default Thread Stack size: 3072 bytes
• Event Recorder Configuration
  • Global Initialization: 1
    • Start Recording: 1

Refer to Configure RTX v5 for a detailed description of all configuration options.

Board: ARM V2M-MPS3-SSE-300-FVP (AVH)

MPS3 platform for Corstone-300 simulated by Arm Virtual Hardware (AVH).

The heap/stack setup and the CMSIS-Driver assignment is in configuration files of related software components.

Note: On AVH, the LEDs and the button are simulated in a graphical window.

Board: NXP FRDM-K32L3A6

The tables below list the device configuration for this board. The board layer for the NXP FRDM-K32L3A6 is using the software component ::Board Support: SDK Project Template: project_template (Variant: frdmk32l3a6) from NXP.FRDM-K32L3A6_BSP.13.0.0 pack.

The heap/stack setup and the CMSIS-Driver assignment is in configuration files of related software components.

The example project can be re-configured to work on custom hardware. Refer to "Configuring Example Projects with MCUXpresso Config Tools" for information.
