Sample software brings Toshiba M4K microcontrollers to Embedded tools
Sample software for M4K microcontrollers can now be used with Segger’s Embedded Studio as well as the Arm Keil MDK and IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm. The latest microcontroller sample software for Segger Embedded Studio
The M4K MCUs are based on the Arm Cortex-M4 core with floating point unit, operating up to 160MHz. Variants are available from 128kbyte to 256kbyte code flash and 32kbyte data flash with 100k write-cycles endurance, 24KB SRAM, and 64-pin to 100-pin package options.
The software package provides the essential drivers and sample code developers need to interact with microcontroller peripherals for a fast start to new projects and to accelerate completion, said Toshiba.
The package includes low-level drivers with a well-defined API and examples for all on-chip peripherals. These samples include software to configure the ADC for voltage measurements, control the communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C) for various data transmission scenarios, show how the code and data flash memory is used for storage and data protection, and manage other peripherals including the digital noise filter, watchdog timer, oscillator frequency detection and trimming, and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) function.
The M4K microcontrollers contain features for motor control applications, including a high resolution encoder input, three advanced programmable motor control circuits, and Toshiba’s advanced vector engine plus (A-VE+). These features are accessed for development through Toshiba’s dedicated environment, MCU Motor Studio, which comprises a PC-based development environment and firmware for popular motor control techniques and fault protection.
The M4K group peripheral sample software package is ready to download from Toshiba’s website. The software is delivered as fully developed and tested source code.
