Development Environment Setup

The MAXREFDES178 demo applications are developed using C language and they can be compiled using GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain. ADI provides a complete installation package for Windows, Ubuntu Linux ad macOS host operating systems. The package includes an SDK with GNU Arm Toolchain, ADI SDK libraries, example projects, OpenOCD debugger and Eclipse IDE. VSCode support files for existing VSCode installation are also available.

ADI MSDK Download

ADI MSDK is available to download:

The repository with the latest libraries and examples can be accessed via the ADI MSDK repository:

Analog Devices MSDK Repository

After the installation of MSDK, on Windows, the MSYS shell (included in the MSDK) can be used to build examples. Start msys.bat to launch the shell. The shell can be accessed from the Windows Start Menu or in the default installation directory shown below:

Downloading the MAXREFDES178 Demo Repo

Download MAXREFDES178# from GitHub with submodules:

 git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:MaximIntegratedAI/refdes.git

Building MAXREFDES178 Demo Firmware

  • All MAXREFDES178 demos are in different subfolders.

  • cd into one of the demo directories.

MAXDAP TYPE-C


Build MAX32666 Firmware


  1. Run MinGW MSYS shell.
  2. cd into maxrefdes178_max32666 directory.
  3. Run make:
make -r -j

MAXDAP TYPE-C

  1. A build\maxrefdes178_max32666.bin firmware binary should be generated.

WARNING:

  1. If during the build, MinGW MSYS shell stopped with a memory commit error, run the make again and it will continue the build.
*** couldn't commit memory for cygwin heap, Win32 error 0
    • If you get the following error during the build, put the MAXREFDES178# directory closer to the root of the drive. Long Windows paths cause failed builds:*
collect2.exe: fatal error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
or
/bin/sh: line 15: /g/MaximSDK/Tools/GNUTools/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: Bad file number

Build MAX78000 Audio Firmware


  1. Run MinGW MSYS shell.
  2. cd into maxrefdes178_max78000_audio directory.
  3. Run make:
make -r -j

MAXDAP TYPE-C

  1. A build\maxrefdes178_max78000_audio.bin firmware binary should be generated.

Build MAX78000 Video Firmware


  1. Run MinGW MSYS shell.
  2. cd into maxrefdes178_max78000_video directory.
  3. Run make:
make -r -j

MAXDAP TYPE-C

  1. A build\maxrefdes178_max78000_video.bin firmware binary should be generated.

Build MAXREFDES178# Demo Android Application

  • Download and install Android Studio
  • Install Android 9 Android SDK from the Android Studio SDK manager.
  • Click File→Open and select the maxrefdes178-FaceId\maxrefdes178_android directory.
  • Build the project.

Warning: The MAXREFDES178# Android Application uses Chaquopy Python SDK for running Python scripts. Chaquopy requires a License for commercial use.
