Abstract

This article continues the introduction of an ultra low power, feature rich microcontroller module and explains how to program and debug it using popular, free of charge tools. Unlike many other high end microcontroller modules, this one is available in a DIP footprint, allowing easy prototyping for professional engineers and hobbyists alike. While Part 1 describes how to create a project in Eclipse, Part 2 describes how to configure Eclipse to work with the PICO.

Reconfiguring Eclipse to Work with the PICO Hardware

The project created in Part 1 was designed around the MAX32625EVKIT hardware, which is different from the PICO hardware, so the file describing the hardware on the EV kit needs to be changed to reflect the hardware on the PICO. The original boards.c file is stored in:

C:\Maxim\Firmware\MAX32625\Libraries\Boards\EvKit_V1\ Source

and the new boards.c file for the PICO is stored in the zip file, which can be downloaded using the link at the end of this article. Copy the whole Boards directory from the zip file into the directory whe
