SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FLEX BOARDS

The FLEX boards comes with a rich software infrastructure which symplifies the application development.

Erika Enterprise and Erika Enterprise Basic
First of all, FLEX comes with Erika Enterprise and Erika Enterprise Basic as the default software development environment. In particular, Erika Enterprise and Erika Enterprise Basic for the Microchip dsPIC (R) DSC micro-controller family is available as a complete development environment for real-time applications. It includes the state of the art real-time technology as well as the RT-Druid configuration tool, which allows easy design and optimization of a real-time application.

Libraries for FLEX
Erika Enterprise and Erika Enterprise Basic fully supports the FLEX boards and all the Daughter Boards. A complete set of libraries allows the exploitation of all the features provided. The development of complex applications based on the FLEX Base Board and
available Daughter Boards is simplified by a well documented and clear set of primitives. The needed libraries can be configured using the RT-Druid tool, letting the developer to dedicate the efforts to the implementation of the program logic.

Template applications
A set of template applications using the FLEX boards are also available. These applications can be instantiated as RT-Druid projects by selecting the appropriate template at project creation time.

Scilab and Scicos code generator
Finally, a code generator for Scilab and Scicos designs is also available. The code generator has been developed in collaboration with Simone Mannori from INRIA (FR), and Roberto Bucher from SUPSI Lugano. Please check the Evidence web site
http://www.evidence.eu.com to get updated documentation and manuals about the Scilab/Scicos code generator support.
