| Development Environment |
To compile, link and run applications on the STM32F103ZE Evaluation Board, you must install these products: The RealView MDK-ARM which includes the ?Vision Debugger and provides several example programs for the STM32F103ZE Board. The STM32F10x Software Library which provides a software foundation for the STM32F10x peripherals, it can be copied from CDROM we have tested. The example programs and project files for the board are accompanied with CDROM, developed by Embest. |

| Software and Examples |
Embest Provides plenty of software examples for this evaluation board, all in source code. These software examples can be debugged under the popular Keil MDK (Microcontroller Development Kit) environments, making practical use of the board's peripherals.
The CDROM includes several example programs that are configured for the Embest STM32F103ZE Board.
All examples are configured for two ?Vision targets at least: Simulator - where the program runs in the software simulator. FLASH - where the program runs from internal Flash located on the microcontroller.
All examples use the same file structure: Abstract.txt contains a short description of the example. STM32F10x.s contains the startup code for the microcontroller. STM32_Init.[c,h] contain the initialization of the microcontroller's peripherals. Example dependent source code.
Each example program is stored in a separate folder and can be copied to use under \Keil\ARM\BOARDS\Embest\STM32F103ZE\ along with project files that help you quickly build the project and run the program. All example projects and programs are available in accompanied CDROM. |
