mikroSDK Reference Manual
|
mikroSDK 2.0 is an embedded software development framework designed to simplify and accelerate application development on Mikroe hardware platform, specifically for Click Boards™ and other extension board drivers, on a wide range of microcontroller vendors and architectures. It includes peripheral libraries and drivers, middleware, board support, and application layer libraries like Graphic Library, Visual TFT, Logger, Console and many more to come (eg. HID, FAT32 etc.). It also comes with examples and user documentation. mikroSDK 2.0 applications can be reused on any mikroSDK 2.0 compatible platform.
mikroSDK 2.0 platform can be extended by Components which are Click Boards™ and other extension board drivers.
Board support comes with definitions for pin connections between microcontroller, MCU card and board sockets (eg. mikroBUS™) and special function pinouts, so you can easily map your driver or application to the board.
The peripheral driver library simplifies and unifies usage of microcontrollers, so reading a microcontroller's user manual, in most cases, is not necessary. It also allows writing portable and re-usable applications.
This is the basic architecture diagram.
Provides common peripheral functionality, abstracting the hardware peripheral register access. The interface hides the register access details and various MCU peripheral instantiation differences so that the application can be abstracted from the low-level hardware details.
The Driver specification is a software API which describes peripheral driver interfaces for middle-ware stacks and user applications. It adds higher level functionality, implementing common protocols, handling multiple clients for peripheries and their re-initialization.
Wide range of reusable driver libraries for Click Boards™ and extension boards. The component should use peripheral drivers (DRV) to communicate with MCU peripherals and board support to port driver to/br> specific pin mappings.
Board support consists of pin mappings for sockets and other special function pins. It maps specific board pins to MCU target pins. It can also contain other useful information necessary for drivers to work properly on the board.
High level libraries for commonly used services, so developers do not need to reinvent the wheel, shortening development cycles. It comes with new improved Graphic library, Visual TFT library for GUI applications, Logger, Console framework, Input library, and many more to come.
