We have board support packages (BSPs) and complete projects available for various Microchip Eval boards.

Different software packages are available for different boards; the packages include some or all of the following components:

  • embOS - real time OS / RTOS
  • emWin - graphic software / GUI
  • emFile - file system with support for NAND-, NOR- flashes, SD, CF cards, IDE and more
  • emUSB - USB device stack with support for bulk, MSD, CDC, HID and more

Some packages are executable demos, which can not be modified; some packages are trial versions, which come with the software in a library and the application in source code form, as well as a project for the IDE that has been used. Trial versions can usually be recompiled easily in less than a minute if the required compiler and IDE is installed. The application program can be modified, allowing intensive tests of the software. emWin trial versions usually also contain a simulation environment which allows test and recompilation on a PC.
