About the CrossWorks Shield Library

The CrossWorks Shield Library presents a standardized API for delivering high-quality example code for a wide range of microcontrollers and evaluation boards. Additional components that integrate with the Shield Library are:

• CrossWorks Platform Library:  is a standardized API to deliver working examples for a wide range of evaluation boards.
• CrossWorks Tools Library:  provides tools, such as memory tests, and add-ons for CTL, such as a stream system, read-write locks, and ring buffers.
• CrossWorks Device Library:  provides drivers for common digital sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, and so on.
• CrossWorks Graphics Library:  is a library of simple graphics functions for readily-available LCD controllers.
• CrossWorks TCP/IP Library:  provides TCP/IP networking for integrated and external network controllers on memory-constrained microcontrollers.
• CrossWorks Mass Storage Library:  provides a FAT-based file system for mass storage on SD and MMC cards, or any device with a block-based interface.
• CrossWorks Shield Library:  provides drivers for a range of Arduino-style shields.
• CrossWorks CoreBASIC Library:  provides a full-featured, network-enabled BASIC interpreter which demonstrates the capabilities of these libraries.

Architecture

The CrossWorks Shield Library is one part of the CrossWorks Target Library. Many of the low-level functions provided by the target library are built using features of the CrossWorks Tasking Library for multi-threaded operation.

Delivery format

The CrossWorks Shield Library is delivered in source form.

Feedback

This facility is a work in progress and may undergo rapid change. If you have comments, observations, suggestions, or problems, please feel free to air them on the CrossWorks Target and Platform API discussion forum.
