There are several starter kits available for the CF2. The only difference between them is the choice of base board and cables.
| Each starter kit includes: | |
 |
One PERCF21M single board computer |
|
One 128MB Persistor Certified CompactFlash card |
|
One base board with cables ** |
|
One PicoDEV developers CD |
|
CodeWarrior C Compiler (one per customer*) |
The PicoDEV developers CD transforms the CodeWarrior C Compiler into a powerful integrated development environment for embedded 68000 based microcontrollers. Using MotoCross®, you can write and test code for your Persistor with the same speed and convenience you've become accustomed to in native code.
| What is on the PicoDEV developers CD? | |
|
MotoCross postlinker and terminal program |
|
Installer to customize CodeWarrior for CF2 development |
|
Libraries for PicoDOS; a DOS like file management system for the CF2 |
|
Libraries for all CF2 device drivers, TPU, checksum functions, RTC, PIT, QSPI, SCI |
|
Libraries for using the MAX146 or ADS8344 or other SPI devices |
|
PicoDAQ example (a complete command line data logging application) |
|
CommLogger example (a complete command line RS232 logging application) |
|
PDF documentation for components, compatible RecipeCards and MC68332 |
Programming the Persistor CF2 requires "CodeWarrior Development Studio for Palm OS Platform." Freescale has discontinued this software, but has granted Persistor Instruments permission to distribute copies of the final version 9.3 CD under the following conditions:
- The copy is distributed "as is"; without technical support from Freescale.
- The copy is distributed only for use with Persistor Instruments'; MC683xx based products.
- Contact Persistor directly to acquire this necessary software for CF1 or CF2 program development.
* One copy of CodeWarrior is included in the FIRST starter kit per customer.
Please ask for CodeWarrior with your starter kit if you are a new CF2 customer.
