AN018: Communication with a PC Application

Abstract: Many embedded applications share information with external devices, and the preferred connection between devices is asynchronous serial communications. The multi-core architecture of the P8X32A enables the designer to create and deploy device-to-device communications strategies with no impact on the primary application code. In this example a deployed communications support cog manages data between the main application and the serial I/O firmware, usingVB.NET and the P8X32A QuickStart board.

AN004: GUI & Graphics Series – Getting Started with VGA and Terminal Output

Abstract: Each of the multicore P8X32A’s eight cogs includes a video generator. This first tutorial in the GUI & Graphics series covers basic VGA character graphics, console terminals, mousing and simple text input with the Propeller P8X32A microcontroller. Example demos make use of available drivers to illustrate how effortless it can be to implement a simple VGA terminal application.
