mikroSDK

mikroSDK framework provides a rich set of tools and libraries designed to simplify and streamline the process of embedded system development.

mikroSDK framework is crafted to offer a standardized approach to accessing and controlling a variety of hardware peripherals, ensuring that developers can create robust and portable applications with ease.

mikroSDK framework is open source project. Go checkout the official GitHub repo!

Key Points

This section offers a detailed overview of the key components and functionalities provided by the mikroSDK, which include:

  • Embedded Protocols: Embedded Protocols are formed around Driver Layer, Portability Layer and Hardware Abstraction Layer. Driver Layer includes device-specific drivers that facilitate the initialization and management of hardware components. These drivers are designed to be architecture-independent, allowing for cross-platform compatibility and ease of integration

  • Board Support Package: This library provides comprehensive functions for initialization values and definitions for initializing various hardware peripherals (dev boards, microcontroller cards, shields).

  • Graphics: This library provides comprehensive functions for development of graphical-based applications or GUIs as well as LCD-based projects.

  • Networking: The library supports a wide range of Ethernet communication functionalities. These protocols are crucial for enabling communication between the microcontroller and other peripherals or external devices.

  • File Transfer: This library will help you leverage real-time file transfers.

  • USB: This library will help you develop USB-based applications via TinyUSB open source framework alongside mikroSDK framework.

  • Data structures: This library will help you leverage Ring Buffer logic, just like we did for the UART embedded protocol inside mikroSDK framework.

  • Versioning: This library will help you write your application based on different versions of mikroSDK framework.

  • Logging: This library will help you make use of the famous "printf' functionality, as well as plotting important sensor data on a visual scale.

  • Testing: This library will help you develop always useful unit tests. The library supports unit testing through predefined macros and functions, allowing developers to verify the correctness of their code. This support for unit testing ensures that applications are reliable and meet their design specifications.

  • Programming Language Specifics: This set of libraries will help you make use of void Pointer (Generic Pointer) and basic Type Conversions in a programming language.

The mikroSDK within NECTO Studio is designed to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly interface for embedded system development.

By abstracting the complexities of hardware interactions and offering a wide range of functionalities, the set of librariess and tools allows developers to focus on creating innovative applications.

Whether you're configuring hardware peripherals, managing real-time clocks, or debugging your application, the mikroSDK provides the tools you need to succeed.
