Create Your First Project
To explore the software libraries and its capabilities, first create a fully configured project with all components.
- Open Embedded Studio.
- Go to
File -> New Project.... - If prompted “Where do you want to create the new project?” select “Create the project in a new solution”.
- From the list of templates select “Embedded Studio PRO project for the SEGGER emPower (NXP Kinetis K66) board”.
- Enter a name for the project, for example “emPower_ESPRO”.
- Select a location for the project, for example “C:/Users/Anybody/Documents/SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM Projects/emPower_ESPRO”.
- Click “Next”, “Next”, and “Finish”.
Your first Embedded Studio PRO project is ready to use. It includes the configuration for your board (the emPower) and all applicable software modules, which are embOS, emWin, emFile, emNet, emUSB-Device, emUSB-Host, emModbus, and emCompress.
The project already includes a set of example applications for each component. After creation the SEGGERDEMO is active. It demonstrates emWin along with some features of embOS, emNet, and emFile.
Get it running on your board.
- Connect the J-Link to the emPower board.
- Use the included 19-pin Cortex-M Adapter.
- Connect the J-Link to your computer.
- Connect the emPower board to your computer or a USB power supply.
- Open Embedded Studio.
- Open your project.
- Select
Build -> Build emPower_ESPRO. - Select
Target -> Download emPower_ESPRO.
Embedded Studio programs your board and you see the demo on the display.
For more information about the examples, refer to the README files included in your created project.
Package content
Embedded Studio is a powerful C/C++ IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for microcontrollers. It is specifically designed to provide users with everything needed for professional embedded C programming and development: An all-in-one solution providing stability and a continuous workflow for any development environment.
Embedded Studio PRO for Cortex-M includes a license for Embedded Studio Cortex-M.
The heart of a state-of-the-art embedded development is the operating system. Our priority-controlled real-time operating system embOS is the best choice for each embedded development. The Embedded Studio PRO package comes with a feature full set of embOS libraries. The libraries are build to give the developer a flexible foundation during the complete development.
The professional embedded GUI emWin enables the creation of highly efficient, and high quality graphical user interfaces on any embedded system. emWin empowers even resource-constrained microcontroller-based systems to run stunning interactive interfaces. emWin is independent from any target, and display — It Simply Works!
emFile is a fail-safe file system for embedded systems and applications which can be used on any storage device. It is a high-performance library optimized for minimum memory consumption in RAM, ROM, high speed, and versatility working on any embedded device.
emNet is the industry-leading IP stack for embedded systems. The professional IP stack is renowned for a high-performance implementation with a small memory footprint and outstanding documentation as well as multiple add-ons.
The IoT Toolkit is a collection of libraries that enables communication with modern IoT based environments and devices. It is a high-performance collection of libraries optimized for minimum memory consumption in RAM, ROM, high speed, and versatility working on any device.
Our high-performance Web server allows you to provide an operating system independent user interface (UI).
- Provide easy to use graphical interfaces for control or data acquisition
- Compatible with all browsers for PC/Mac and mobile devices
- Supports modern standards like WebSockets, REST, SSE and many more
emUSB-Device is a high performance USB device software specifically designed for embedded systems. The software is written in ANSI C and can run on any platform. A variety of target drivers are already available.
SEGGER’s emUSB-Host is a USB host software specifically designed for embedded systems. It implements full USB host functionality, including external hub support and optionally provides device class drivers. It enables developers to easily add USB host functionality to embedded systems.
emModbus, SEGGER’s implementation of the Modbus protocol, supports communication via UART (ASCII, RTU), Ethernet (Modbus/TCP and Modbus/UDP), and is capable to communicate with any Modbus compliant device. emModbus supports building master and slave devices which can even be combined in the same product. Also, multiple interfaces in the same product are supported. Each interface can be configured at runtime, making it possible to build a pretested library to be deployed in multiple projects for embedded solutions.
Reduced data size for storage and transfer is highly valuable in embedded systems. Reduced storage size minimizes the complexity and cost of systems by keeping memory requirements small. Reduced transfer size overcomes limitations of available bandwidth to send and receive data.
emCompress offers solutions to compress data for all kinds of applications where size matters. Designed for embedded systems, emCompress can compress and decompress data even on smallest microcontrollers.
The Encryption-Library emCrypt provides the building blocks for today’s secure protocols. Security has never been so important with the explosion of embedded devices that are now connected to the Internet. emCrypt has proven itself within SEGGER and is the foundation that emSSL, emSSH and emSecure-RSA, emSecure-ECDSA are built upon.
Use emSecure’s digital signatures to protect your products! emSecure is a software solution for embedded systems to securely authenticate digital assets. It can be used to secure products at no per unit cost against hacking and cloning. Secure your intellectual property (IP) now!
emSSL enables you to create secure connections between a client and a server, typically over the Internet, using TCP/IP. Don’t leave your communications open, secure them with emSSL!
emSSH offers the possibility to establish a secured connection to any server application in your product. It can be used both target independent in native computer applications, as well as in embedded targets.
J-Link PLUS
emPower Evaluation Board
The world-famous J-Link is our vision of a debug probe. The J-Link PLUS increases the value of a J-Link BASE, since comes with integrated licenses for:
- Unlimited breakpoints in flash memory (Unlimited Flash Breakpoints)
- RDI / RDDI
- J-Flash
SEGGER’s emPower board is an evaluation and prototyping platform. It is a good starting point to prove the power of the Embedded Studio PRO package.
