Getting started with tools

To develop an application for an AC induction motor using the AC IM IFOC software library,

you must set up a complete development environment, as described in the following

sections. A PC running Windows XP is necessary.

1.1

Working environment

The AC IM IFOC software library was fully validated using the main hardware boards

included in STR750-MCKIT starter kit (a complete inverter and control board). The STR750-

MCKIT starter kit provides an ideal toolset for starting a project and using the library.

Therefore, for rapid implementation and evaluation of the software described in this user

manual, it is recommended to acquire this starter kit.

It is also recommended to install the IAR EWARM C toolchain which was used to compile

the AC IM IFOC software library. With this toolchain, you do not need to configure your

workspace. You can set up your workspace manually for any other toolchain. A free

‘kickstart edition’ of the IAR EWARM C toolchain with a 32Kb limitation can be downloaded

from www.iar.com; it is sufficient to compile and evaluate the software library presented

here.

1.2

Software tools

A complete software package consists of:

●

A third-party integrated development environment (IDE)

●

A third-party C-compiler

This library was compiled using the third-pary IAR C toolchain.

●

JTAG interface for debugging and programming

Using the JTAG interface of the MCU you can enter in-circuit debugging session with

most of toolchains. Each toolchain can be provided with an interface connected

between the PC and the target application.

Figure 1.

JTAG interface for debugging and programming

The JTAG interface can also be used for in-circuit programming of the MCU. Other

production programmers can be obtained from third-parties.
