5 Serial Ports: Four hardware COM ports and One 1 virtual COM port
05/23/2016 at 13:40 • 0 commentsWell this was the first thing we did test after the Arduino port on Explore M3. Wanted to write a brief tutorial on this for a long time, so here we go:

Rugged USB and other minor hardware changes
05/07/2016 at 05:29 • 0 commentsHave you ever pulled off a micro usb connector from board? We did on several occasions. We have after several tries found the one shown below. The beauty is needs through hole type pads, two on both ends, making it rugged and solid.

The board has also gone through other minor changes. We opted for a smaller RGB leds with better diffusion and switches which have a good travel. These are through hole switches which may not go into production, but are great for prototyping. We have found out good SMD switches for the next design.

Setting up the tool Chain for Bare Metal Development: ARM GCC with Eclipse.
04/29/2016 at 04:54 • 0 comments![]()
Many of you should be aware of the capability that eclipse provides in terms of SW development! We were successfully able to first compile code with ARMGCC and then integrate the setup with Eclipse. Now that makes a great combination for bare metal development. Check out the tutorials with links below:

This has been tested on a windows machine, we will test on a linux and ubuntu soon. If anyone wants to help us out with, do sign up the beta testing program (link in the project description).
We have also been working on CMSIS DAP(Debug Adapter) interface that has SWD pins. The hardware will work with OpenOCD, the plan is then to integrate OpenOCD and make it a completely free and open source tool chain.
