  • Instalation on Olimex LPC-2478

    Hi I'm trying to install the embOS for the Olimex LPC-2478. I'm and Electrical Engineering student and I am using the board for my senior design. I need to be able to get a gui on the lcd screen and came across this embOS. I downloaded the package but could not find anywhere in the read me or pdf files about instalation on the physical device. I got the demo working through Visual Basic but need the OS (or another gui if you know one) for the physical board.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

  • Hello,

    which eval board do you use? Which workbench do you use?

    Normally you would use a emulator like J-Link to download the software in the eval board.

  • It is the Olimex LPC-2478 eval board. I am not using a workbench as of yet, and not sure if I will be able to get fundings to purchase one (I've already used a lot of my funds on the board itself) I have manage to install uclinux on the device and able to install programs on that via terminal, so would think that there would be a simular way to do so with this embOS.

  • Hello,

    you can use a free version of IAR Embedded Workbench to have no additional costs iar.com.
    We have a special offer for students, J-Link ARM for non commercial use for 98 EUR.

    You can also use embOS ARM GNU, the Yagarto Tools are free of cost yagarto.de/.
    Unfortunately we have no LPC-2478 BSP in embOS ARM GNU, but it should be no big deal to take it from embOS ARM IAR.

  • There is no real installation, you cannot compare a embedded operationg system like embOS with Windows or Linux. In most embedded systems you do not work with a extra data storage like hard disk drive but the software will be flashed into the cpu internal flash.
    With a RTOS like embOS the application will be linked together with the operating system into one single file, which will be loaded into the flash.
