new to kds and c programming and processor expert

[jamescassese]

I've programmed in PIC Assembly and am now tasked with programming a twr-k53 board in C.  Very lost.  I've written a C program to blink both LEDs apart from each other.  How do I print "hello world" to the LCD?  I saw one program that included common.h and twrpi_slcd.h files.  How do I add them to my project?  I really need an overview on how all these files,kds, PE, etc. work together.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jim

- In kds , it is easy to add one file ,you can direct drag it to your project of KDS view.

- About use the KDS ,you can refer to the DOC of " Freescale\KDS_3.0.0\doc\KDS_Users_Guide.pdf" , this is under the KDS

installation .

Alice: Thank you for your responses to my inquiries. I'm able to blink both LEDs and use an interrupt. I'm getting familiar with KDS and find it easier to work with as I go. I'm wanting to write "hello world" or other text to the LCD that comes with the TWR-K53 Module. I've tried some examples from online sources, but I get nothing printed to the LCD. I'm not a programmer, but am required to complete a project using KDS with the K53 tower. How do I simply do this? How do the pieces fit together? What files do I need to initialize the LCD? I saw an example from Erich Stuyger which I tried to follow completely (he used a K40 board). Any ideas? Jim C. - Freescale Beginner (to say the least)

Hello James,

- In the KSDK, there is the driver for SLCD (under the KSDK installation directory) :

   Freescale\KSDK_1.3.0\platform\drivers\src\slcd

- I think you can refer to here , there is sample code :

Help control TWRPI-SLCD 

Hope it helps

I have yet to receive a reply. Am I in the proper forum? I've read forums as a guest, but never entered any information. Do you have training videos? Thanks.Jim C.
