The 32-bit RISC ARM processor architecture developed by ARM Limited is

widely used across many embedded designs due to its low price, low

power consumption, and wide variety of peripherals for many of the

major silicon vendors. Today, the ARM family accounts for more than 75

percent of all 32-bit RISC CPUs. You can use the NI LabVIEW Embedded

Module for ARM Microcontrollers for programming ARM microcontrollers

with the RTX embedded operating system.

This tutorial offers a general outline for targeting LabVIEW code to

any custom ARM target by presenting an example of how LabVIEW code was made to

execute on the Phytec LPC3180 ARM9 microcontroller. This tutorial will cover the 4 steps necessary to port LabVIEW code to an ARM microcontroller:

1. Integration of LabVIEW and KEIL Toolchains

2. Implementing Elemental I/O

3. Porting the RTX Real-Time Kernel

4. Integrating the Real-Time Agent
