Description

StarterWare provides C-based no-OS platform support for TI's ARM9™ and ARM® Cortex™ A8 based devices. StarterWare provides device abstraction layer libraries, peripheral programming examples such as Ethernet, graphics and USB, and board level example applications. StarterWare can be used stand-alone or with an RTOS.

Additional Information

• StarterWare Documentation
• AM335X Beaglebone board - Supplied by many distributors

Features

• Peripheral programming interface
• Example applications for each peripheral to demonstrate proramming and usage of the peripheral
• Software portability across devices for a given peripheral
• Tool-chain agnostic C code (Some startup code will be in assembly and hence some part of the code will be tool dependant)
• Support for Windows(R) host and Linux host
• Support for the following tool chains:
• Open source code generation tools (gcc) for ARM
• TI code generation tools (TMS470)
• IAR tool chain for ARM
