Porting a SimpliciTITM application to Another Platform

Mike ClaassenFAE/AFA Summit 2Q, 2010

Abstract

SimpliciTITM is a very versatile software stack that allows a customer a framework to define their next Peer to Peer or Star Network.

After an initial evaluation of the SimpliciTITM stack has been done, most designers would like to utilize the stack on their own prototyped boards.

The Hands On portion of this presentation takes the very popular and functional Temperature Sensor Demo from the eZ430-RF2500 and ports it to MAVRK, a modular system EVM.

Agenda: Porting a SimpliciTITM application to a new Stack Version

• Setting up a new SimpliciTITM 1.11 Project

• Creating a new Board Support Directory

• Modifying the existing files to work with the MAVRK System EVM

• Building the Temperature Sensor Demo using MAVRK as the Data Hub/Access Point

Benefits of this Training

The benefit of this training is to gain an understanding of the MRFI and BSP directories and how to port them from a standard supported EVMs to a new board

Setting up the SimpliciTITM 1.11 Project
