Overview: What is the Peripheral Driver Generator that backs up full-scale development?

The Peripheral Driver Generator is a utility that assists a product developer in creating various built-in peripheral I/O drivers of a microcomputer and the routines (functions) to initialize those drivers by eliminating the developer having to do manual coding. All of the necessary source codes are prepared by the Peripheral Driver Generator according to user settings, so that the development time and development cost can be greatly reduced.

The Peripheral Driver Generator is very simple to use, because all operations are performed through a user-friendly GUI. The status of peripheral I/O mode can be checked quickly and easily.
Also, a pin conflict between peripheral functions can be verified (V.2 only).

Peripheral Driver Generator Overview

Features

 

  • Elaborate settings of peripheral I/Os accomplished easily without the need for manual coding
    The main bodies of peripheral I/O drivers are supplied with the Peripheral Driver Generator package as libraries. The C language source codes of driver initialization routines (functions) are automatically generated according to simple user settings that are accomplished through a user-friendly GUI of the Peripheral Driver Generator.
    On the user application side, the peripheral I/O setting work can be completed by only calling these automatically generated routines (functions).
    The rest is simple too. Just register the driver main bodies and the automatically generated functions to the High-performance Embedded Workshop and then build the user program. This completes an application that includes peripheral I/O drivers.
  • Differences in microcomputer specifications accommodated to avoid incorrect or forgotten settings
    Depending on the functionality of each microcomputer, peripheral I/Os differ in usable types of modes or the range or combination of set values. Because of these specificational differences, developers themselves had to use caution during coding work by relying on specification documents or technical support information. The Peripheral Driver Generator is devised to prevent erroneous settings by, for example, disabling unusable settings from being selected.
