Introduction 

A31T216RLN  Shield  Board  Quick  Guide  introduces  software  environment  and  development 
recommendations for the ABOV 32-bit Touch/LED-Driver MCU Starter Kit. This document also offers 
an easy method to develop the Home Appliance Touch. 

The Starter Kit  Board in this document contains a CMSIS-DAP debugger 

A-Link

, which  allows the 

MCU programming and debugging without additional devices.   

By following the steps guided in this document, users can build a project and download firmware using 
the Keil uVision 5, and learn how to debug the Starter Kit with the A-Link debugger. 

In addition, we discuss how to operate the A31T216RLN Shield Board with examples, step by step.
