RMS102 Microcomputer FAQ    

 

Q. Do I need to purchase the SC102 Library Source Code CD to be able to develop programs for RMS102?

A. No.  Demo source code and object files for the libraries are freely downloadable from this web-site.  You can modify and create your own applications with just these files.  The SC102 CD contains the actual source for the libraries, which is helpful if you want to dig deeper and modify or extend the standard drivers.

 

Q. What CompactFlash cards are presently supported?

A. RMS102lib includes functions for initializing, reading and writing to standard CF memory cards.  These examples can be used as a reference for accessing non-memory devices such as WiFi cards.

 

Q. What kinds of functions do the RMS102 libraries contain?

A. There are functions for initializing all the hardware modules, accessing keyboard, mouse, SD Card and VGA graphics and more.  Everything needed to get started build applications for RMS102.  For complete details and documentation, download the library and look in the header files (*.h).

 

Q. Can I use an optical mouse with RMS102?

A. We've tested a range of mice from different manufacturers, including PS/2 compatible Microsoft optical mice.  Many USB mice come with a small green adaptor that 'converts' the USB signals to PS/2.  These will work just fine.
