Software Examples

Overview

The AD-EthernetAPLDevice-SL board supports two main categories of software examples, available through public repositories. Both example sets are designed to be compiled using Code Fusion Studio (CFS) for optimal compatibility and ease of use.

Prerequisites

Code Fusion Studio Installation

Before working with any examples, you’ll need to install Code Fusion Studio:

Security Considerations

While the examples don’t require TESA access, the board is fully compatible with additional security mechanisms. For enhanced security features:

MSDK Examples

The MSDK examples demonstrate peripheral usage through the Maxim HAL interface. These examples are automatically installed with Code Fusion Studio.

Loading MSDK Examples

  1. Open Visual Studio Code.

  2. Click Browse MSDK examples.

no-OS Examples

The no-OS examples are specifically designed for the AD-EthernetAPLDevice-SL board and utilize the no-OS HAL for direct hardware access.

Loading no-OS Examples

  1. Follow the build guide.

  2. Switch to the appropriate branch using Git Bash:

    git switch release/hockey_puck

  3. Refer to the repository’s readme file for specific Code Fusion Studio loading instructions

Note

Set SBT = 0 in the makefile to disable firmware digital signature verification.
