51LPC Evaluation Kit

LINK-51

The Philips LINK-51 evaluation kit comes with emWare®’s EMIT®3.0
Evaluation networking software for the 51LPC family. emWare’s
Embedded Micro Internetworking Technology

™

(EMIT) software is the
only distributed device networking software based on standard Internet
technologies that network 8- and 16-bit embedded devices over the
Internet or any network. Applications of EMIT technology include utility
metering, vending, healthcare, transportation, factory automation, security
systems, environmental control, office equipment, and home automation.
The LINK-51 provides a complete development environment for embed­ding network connectivity into electronic devices, which includes:

• 51LPC microcontroller

• EMIT 3.0 evaluation software

• 51LPC-based evaluation board

• Electronic documentation on disk
EMIT software allows access to the on-board 51LPC via your favorite

web browser, as well as connections to several emMicro-enabled devices
via a local RS232 network. By taking advantage of the special EMIT

3.0 upgrade offer included, you will be able to move to the EMIT SDK
standard.

Software Highlights

The LINK-51 provides a complete development environment for
creating EMIT-enabled networked devices with the emMicro device
object server, leveraging the emGateway for network communications,
and developing a graphical user interface for managing and controlling
the device.

• The EMIT embedded device object server, emMicro, is provided in

both C and assembly source code versions for the 8051.

• emMicro requires as little as 1Kbyte of ROM on a device (8051

assembly version).

• EMIT’s distributed device object server architecture shifts

significant resource requirements from the device to emGateway
while still providing a rich, graphical interpretation of device controls.

• The LINK-51 includes assembly sample applications integrated

with emMicro.

• emGateway provides a link between lightweight device networks and

user interfaces like a web browser, PDA or phone.

• The EMIT Access Library facilitates the development of client-side

interfaces.

• The EMIT Access Library supports popular programming languages

such as C, C++, Java

™

, ActiveX®, Visual Basic®, etc.

• emGateway runs on Windows

®

95/98, NT, or WinCE.

• emMicro’s versatile communications protocol supports modem,

RS232, RS485, IR and RF (sold separately).

• When upgraded to EMIT SDK 3.0 Standard, developers have

remote connectivity.

• EMIT’s predefined library of JavaBeans compliant emObjects (trial

version) enables quick and easy development of robust graphical user
interfaces via Visual Café.

• The EMIT SDK includes several powerful low-level debugging tools.

• EMIT software is scalable and modular, enabling developers to choose

which components will reside on the device, the emGateway, and the
client-side server.

Pre-Loaded Demo Applications

The applications pre-loaded on the 51LPC chip can be con­trolled in standalone mode or remote mode from a pre-built
browser interface. The applications do the following:

• Control the brightness of 2 LEDs using a rotary pot
(potentiometer)

• Switch between seven operating modes, including an
HVAC demo, a sound demo, a watchdog demo and
brownout demo

• Acquire data from the rotary

• Play back the data
