2.2.1 Embedded examples
The MTi 1-series is designed for easy integration in embedded systems. To aid in development, example
code is provided for the ARM
®
Mbed™ platform.
An example implementation of the Xbus Low Level Communication Protocol is provided as generic C99
compliant source code
3
, while an ARM
®
Mbed™ specific application demonstrates the use of the Xbus
library to communicate with an MTi 1-series development kit using UART communications.
The example code has been tested with the following ARM
®
Mbed
TM
compatible boards:
ST Nucleo F302R8 – Cortex M4
FreeScale FRDM-KL46Z – Cortex M0+
NXP EA LPC 4088 – Cortex M4
The example code is available at
http://www.mbed.org/teams/Xsens
. Documentation on how to use the
project is provided on the description page and in the code. Note that these examples are provided as
is and are not supported by the Xsens support team. The examples are licensed under the
Apache
Licence version 2.0
.
It is easy to extend the program with commands from the Xsens Low Level Communication Protocol
(LLCP). This protocol is documented in detail in the Low Level Communication Protocol Documentation.

Xbus example code is not specific to ARM processors and should be compatible with other embedded
architectures.
