RL-ARM User's Guide

The RL-ARM™ User's Guide contains detailed information about the components of the RealView^® Real-Time Library (RL-ARM).

This manual contains the following chapters.

• RL-RTX describes the operating system (RTOS) component of RL-ARM. It describes task priorities, context switching, how to manage several jobs (tasks) on a single CPU, and the other RTOS features available in RL-RTX.
• RL-FlashFS describes the Flash File System component of RL-ARM. It describes how to create, save, read, and modify files stored on standard flash, RAM, or memory card devices.
• RL-TCPnet describes the TCP/IP Protocol Stack Suite component of RL-ARM. It describes the various TCP/IP features, and helps you create embedded applications that can connect to the internet.
• RL-CAN describes the Controller Area Network (CAN) driver component of RL-ARM. It describes how to build CAN applications using the RTX kernel.
• Example Programs lists a few RL-ARM example programs and describes how you can test them.
• Library Reference describes all the library routines that are available in RL-ARM.
• The Appendix contains the µVision® debug dialogs. It also contains the glossary.

The RL-ARM supports ARM powered microcontrollers and is an add-on to the RealView MDK-ARM™ development tools.

Note

• RL-FlashFS, RL-TCPnet, and RL-CAN are not included with the RealView® MDK-ARM development kit. These components are available only in the stand-alone RL-ARM product.
