As the workspace is the same directory as the SDK it means that all edits to files in the workspace
change the contents of the SDK. This means that all projects should be developed in different
workspaces and so each workspace needs to be created with an extraction from the original SDK zip
file as there is no longer a clean copy of the SDK on which to base new projects.
7.4 Starting SmartSnippetsTM Studio
When SmartSnippetsTM Studio starts for the first time, the user must configure it. The necessary
configurations are the following:
●
Select the workspace folder for SmartSnippetsTM Studio . This should be the created directory
workspace_SmartSnippets_Studio.
●
If asked specify which product family SmartSnippetsTM Studio should assume the code is for
(DA1468x 1.0.10 SDK or DA1458x 6.0.4 SDK).
●
All the other tools required by the SDK and SmartSnippetsTM Studio will be automatically
installed, such as GNU ARM GCC, SmartSnippets Toolbox, SEGGER drivers etc.
7.5 Additional Software
SmartSnippetsTM Toolbox is installed with SmartSnippetsTM Studio . It is focused on enabling the
process of programming flash and optimizing code for optimal power performance by allowing:
●
The re-programming of the internal QSPI with the actual application compiled image.
●
An accurate examination of the power profile and the effects of any executed application
software.
●
The seamless download and execution of a certain software image to RAM over UART.
SmartSnippetsTM Toolbox is also supported by other utilities such as the Command Line Interface
(CLI) Programmer. The CLI Programmer is a command line tool for programming the DA1468x family
of devices. It allows erasing and programming the device Flash or OTP memory. This tool may be
used both in development and on the production line. The CLI Programmer will be installed as an
integrated part of the
SmartSnippetsTM DA1468x SDK. More details about CLI programmer are
available in Appendix C in [4] .
The SmartSnippetsTM framework makes maximum use of the available features on the motherboard
like the on board current sensing circuitry to allow developers of Bluetooth applications to work
without expensive and bulky equipment such as a Digital Multi Meter (DMM). The tool provides full
visibility on the chip activity, which is crucial in the developing of ultra-low power wireless
applications.
