Introduction
The DA16200 is a highly integrated ultra-low power Wi-Fi system on chip (SoC) that allows users to
develop Wi-Fi solutions using a single chip. Wi-Fi applications can be developed for the DA16200
using the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK and the Eclipse IDE on either a Windows 10 or Linux based
development system.
To start developing applications for the DA16200 the following steps must be performed:
●
Install the ARM cross compiler
●
Install and configure the Eclipse IDE
●
Import the DA16200 SDK into the Eclipse IDE and build an application
●
Download and test the application
●
Use J-Link debugger to debug the application
The following describes each of these steps.

Installing the GNU Arm GCC Cross Compiler
The simplest method for installing the GNU Arm GCC 10.2.1 cross compiler is to use the xPack
Project Manager (xpm) and install them from an xPack package.
If the xPack tools are not already installed, follow the instructions on the xPack website to install
either
the “Windows” or “GNU/Linux” version depending on your development system.
https://xpack.github.io/install/
Once the xPack tools are installed, open a Windows command line or a Linux terminal and install the
GNU Arm GCC 10.2.1 cross compiler xPack.
Use the following command to install GNU Arm GCC 10.2.1 on either Windows 10 or Linux:
xpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/[email protected]
Windows 10 does not include any build tools by default, that is,
“make”, therefore the Windows Build
Tools xPack will also need to be installed.
Use the following command to install the Windows Build Tools on Windows 10:
xpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/windows-build-tools

Installing the Eclipse IDE
To install the Eclipse IDE, download and run the Eclipse installer for either Windows or Linux from
the Eclipse Installer website:
