Application Note 208

Keil uVision and Actel SmartFusion

This application note describes how to use the Keil Development Tools with the Cortex-M3 processor-based SmartFusion family of devices. It also demonstrates the use of Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) debug technology available on Cortex-M processors, which is fully supported by the Keil MDK-ARM (Microcontroller Development Kit).

The mss_101.stp and the Webserver_A2F500.stp files below may be downloaded for re-programming the Microsemi (Actel) SmartFusion FPGA Flash.

The DSP project demonstrates digital signal processing. It is a RTX Kernel based example for the Microsemi SmartFusion A2F200 and A2F500 microcontrollers using Microsemi A2F-EVAL-KIT, A2F-EVAL-KIT Rev 2 and A2F-DEV-KIT Evaluation Boards.

All software is compliant to Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS v2.0).
