Embedded System Design Project

To Do List

• fix the code where necessary
• check the final image result (fix if necessary)
• add some tests
• make the VS to debug to arm compiler
• add a guide for the above
• add more memory maps in the optimized-2
• add the english version of the report

Code Development

The code was developed in the following series :

1. Visual Studio

   1.1. vs-initial (before optimizations)

   1.2. vs-optimized (after optimizations)

2. CodeWarrior

   2.1. cw-initial (before optimizations - same code with 1.1)

   2.2. cw-optimized (after optimizations - same code with 1.2)

The report can be found in greek and soon in english.

Since the ARM7TDMI is an implementation of the legacy 32-bit architecture armv4T, according to ARM Developer Hub the recommended processors for embedded systems can be any of the following:

1. ARM Cortex-A for advanced OS

2. ARM Cortex-R for Real-Time Applications (RTOS)

3. ARM Cortex-M for MCUs

The supported architecture version is armv7, armv8, armv9 (latest at 2022).

CodeWarrior IDE vs ARM DS 2022 IDE :

• C Projects vs C/C++/Java/Python Projects

• ARM Executables vs ARM Bare-Metal Projects (and other)

• ARM Compiler vs ARM Compiler 6 (there is support for 5)

• AXD Debugger vs Debug on semihosting

• scatter.txt and memory.map supported on both

• Debugger Internals vs Trace (DTSL) and Streamline

Tutorials for the ARM DS 2022

• Bare-Metal HelloWorld with scatter.txt - using commands - for armv8 on the FVP_Base_AEMvA which is a generic Arm Architecture platform, implementing 4 processors

• Design a dynamic Memory Allocator
