Microtime Computer Inc.1. ePBB Overview1.1. What is ePBBePBB ,embedded Programmer's Building Blocks, as depicted, ePBB provides basic building blocks forprogramming need.Today, applications are so diverse and differences, cost and performance is always an important issueduring product development. It is impossible or impractical trying to provide a general purpose MCUwhich can meet all applications requirements. This leads to continued growth of the MCU market andthe requirements of corresponding development platform. To provide a mechanism which helpsplatform provider or users to build up sample applications more quickly and easily is our majorconsideration.1.2. What can ePBB do for embedded programmersAccording to the provided building blocks and sample applications, users are able to get the referencecode and make modification according to individual's need. From training point of view, it's also a goodway on learning programming skill by viewing example code. Below are the benefits that users mayget :● Learn how to handle MCU peripherals in programming details● Learn the devices programming skills● Learn the programming skills in RTOS applications1.3. What does ePBB provide for embedded programmersePBB provides the following building blocks to help programmers building the applications :● The firmware derived from MCU vendors● The drivers for I/O devices● Packages of popular RTOS framework● The sample applications that utilize all the above building blocks.1-1 ePPB Development Guide
