Version Differences for OPL9728 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

The OPL9728 is used in combination with a cradle ([[CRD9723]]) in order to charge the OPL9728's removable battery, transfer data serially to a host (using plain ASCII, XModem, or Opticon's [[NetO]]), and load new OS revisions and applications (using Opticon's [[Appload]]).

===FAQ===

+

'''What programming languages can I use to develop embedded applications for the OPL9728?'''

+

:The C programming language only.

+

'''What functions are available to me when developing my embedded application?'''

+

:If you've installed the [[C-Library Kit]], you should see a directory for OPL's. This contains various libraries, sample code, and demonstration applications to assist you in your development. The lib.h file in this directory contains all of the functions available to you when developing your embedded OPL9728 application. Also, if you go to the Start menu, under Program Files -> Opticon C-Library Kit, you'll see a programming help file (.chm). This contains descriptions of all the functions, return values, code demonstrating the use of the functions, and many other things. Beyond that, the standard ANSI C functions are available to you, so long as you include the proper header files in your source code.

+

'''How do I compile my application?'''

+

:You have to use the Toshiba C-Compiler, which you can purchase from Opticon. Versions 1.10 and later run on all Windows OS flavors. After that has been installed (preferably before installing the [[C-Library Kit]], as the installer for the [[C-Library Kit]] prompts you for the root path of your Toshiba C-Compiler installation in order to generate correct path information for build scripts) check out some of the example applications in the OPL folder where you installed the [[C-Library Kit]]. There you'll find build scripts (m.bat or mdemo.bat) that you can use and edit for your application, which you then run from the command prompt to build your application.
