Concept of DAVE Apps

Component based programming Is a well know methodology to develop SW by re-using existing and tested SW components with a defined programming interface (API) Application Notes Reference Code to handle specific uses cases Apps Applications for a specific use case for a smart phone or a tablet computer

Can be easily downloaded from the web

DAVE Apps are flexible use case oriented SW components to generate code
That can be downloaded from the web That could be a complete embedded solution/ application

That could be used to compose (model) an embedded solution/ application

Component Based Programming with DAVE Apps

User selects and adds a DAVE App to his project Configuration via a graphical UI API to use the generated code HW Signals (virtual) to connect to other DAVE Apps

e.g. PWM App

Selection can be done via categories: Application use cases Supported peripherals and keyword filter Configuration options Init parameters Functionality . User code call functions. . { PWM_start(); Set_duty(); Set_frequency(); } Example for Signals: Timer overflow Compare match PWM output

To be connect to other Apps to Trigger an ADC Crete a output signal

A DAVE App is well defined and tested SW component that can be used to build an embedded application on an high, easy to understand abstraction level

Composition of DAVE Apps: Virtual Signal connection

The user or a another App may request the connection of two signals

PWM App

Timer overflow

Compare match

ADC start

ADC App

Interrupt Request

Apps can be freely composed by the user

Instances of DAVE Apps

Normally a individual DAVE App can be instantiated several times (limitation is essentially the available HW)
User want to use a similar functionality on different HW resources : e.g. CAN App

Some DAVE Apps can only be instantiated once (singletons) Those App are normally limited to a resource that is only available once
E.g. Clock-App

Object Orientation of DAVE Apps

The generated code for a DAVE App is independent of the instance of the App
Each Instance of a DAVE App has a dedicated data structure Independent of number instance there are two c modules created for each App
<appname>.c contains the API <appname>Conf.c contains the data structure for each instance

When using the API in the user code the address to the data structure (handle) has to be but in the parameter list Example:
status_t = CNT001_GetEvtCountValue(&CNT001_Handle0, &variable_for_countvalue);

Architecture of the Code Generation Functionality (DAVE Apps, Device Description, Code Engine)
Code Engine (Mother System) Is the device independent interface to the user to manage all activities DAVE Apps Use case oriented SW components A DAVE Expert App consist of Manifest Required resources (URI) Provided resources (to other apps or GUI) GUI definition based on predefined widgets Code templates Documentation To develop DAVE embedded Apps a dedicated SDK (SW development kit will be provided)

Developed as plug in for an Eclipse platform:

Tasks Web Interface to find, download and select Apps Generate UI to configure, connect and compose Apps Project mgmt to add Apps based views to the SW project Resource management to solve resource requests from Apps with the target MCU modeled in the DAVE Expert Device description Data consistency management Code generation

Provided Resources

For GUI or other Apps As URI or alias URI

DAVE Device Description Resource and connection model of the target MCU
Content SFRs and SFRs bit fields in resource groups Interconnections (signals) and respective constraints Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of mapable resource groups

Device Description and DAVE Apps

How to get the device description of specific device ?
Devices are loaded like DAVE Apps-Lib (entire devices) from the web
http://dave.infineon.com/Libraries/DAVEApps/XMC4500/v3.0/

Relation of device description and DAVE App A device description represents a defined SW ID
Different devices can have the same SW ID as long as they are SW compatible

A DAVE App can be assigned to several SW IDs

In DAVE3
In the current implementation there is an implicit filter that only the Apps can be selected that are valid for the SW ID of the chosen device
