Example Programs

The Keil MDK-ARM Development Tools CD-ROM includes several example programs that are configured for the Keil MCBSTM32E Board.

All examples are configured for two µVision targets:

• Simulator - where the program runs in the software simulator.
• MCBSTM32E - where the program runs from internal Flash located on the microcontroller.

All examples use the same file structure:

• Abstract.txt contains a short description of the example.
• STM32F10x.s contains the startup code for the microcontroller.
• STM32_Init.[c,h] contain the initialization of the microcontroller's peripherals.
• Example dependent source code.

Note

• STMicroelectronics provides a firmware library with sample code (C sources) but the examples described here do not use this library (except LCD driver) to keep the executable as small as possible.

Each example program is stored in a separate folder in \KEIL\ARM\BOARDS\KEIL\MCBSTM32E\ along with project files that help you quickly build the project and run the program.

The following example programs are installed automatically:

• BLINKY
  The Blinky project shows the combination of configuring peripherals via STM32_Init.c and own initialization functions. GPIO, USART and timer are configured via STM32_Init.c. DMA and ADC are set up with a seperate initialisation function. The LEDs blink with a speed depending on potentiometer position. SysTimer is used in interrupt mode and ticks every 10ms. The color LCD display shows init message and bargraph depending on potentiometer position. AD value is output onto serial port USART2 (115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) and LCD. AD is used with DMA and 12 bit resolution.
• Measure
  The Measure project shows the combination of configuring peripherals via STM32_Init.c and own initialisation functions. GPIO, USART and timer are configured via STM32_Init.c. DMA and ADC are set up with a seperate initialization function. The Measure program uses analog and digital inputs to simulate a datalogger. A help menue is displayed using the serial port USART2. The value of analog input POT1 and the state of Joystick are logged. Timer TIM3 is used in interrupt mode and ticks every 1ms. Serial port USART2 (115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) is used in polling mode. AD is used with DMA and 12 bit resolution.
• RTX_Traffic
  The RTX_Traffic project demonstrates the control of a traffic light. The traffic light is timed and lets cars pass during a specific time period. There is a pedestrial crossing button (User) that lets pedestrians cross. The lights are connected to GPIO Port B. This program uses RTX Kernel. Serial port USART2 (115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) is used in polling mode.
• USB Memory
  The USB Memory project is a demo program for an USB Memory based on USB Mass Storage Class. The USB Memory is automatically recognized by the host PC running Windows which will load a generic Mass Storage driver. Read / write access is displayed using the board LEDs.
• USB HID
  The USBHID project is a demo for a USB Human Interface Device. The USB HID is recognized by the host PC running Windows which will load a generic HID driver. The board LEDs (PB8..PB13) and Push Buttons (Joystick) can then be accessed from the PC through a custom HID Client Program.

Note

• More example projects and programs are available for Keil MCBSTM32 Board and it is easy to port these examples to Keil MCBSTM32E Board. Main difference between the boards are the LCD, the Push Buttons which are connected to different GPIO Ports and the use of an other USART.
