4. Step-by-Step Setup Guide for the MIAA715 C Link

Proper installation ensures reliability. Follow these eight steps: C Code Example – I²C Communication with MIAA715

Example (C library + C++ consumer)

• mylib.h

#ifndef MYLIB_H
#define MYLIB_H
int add(int a, int b);
#endif

• mylib.c

#include "mylib.h"
int add(int a, int b)  return a + b; 

• Compile & link (Unix):

gcc -c mylib.c -o mylib.o
ar rcs libmylib.a mylib.o         # static
gcc main.cpp -L. -lmylib -o app  # link with C++ program (use extern "C" in header)

• If using with C++: wrap header declarations:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" 
#endif
int add(int a, int b);
#ifdef __cplusplus
#endif

2. For a Lab Manual / Instruction Sheet

MIAA715 C-Link Setup
Ensure the C-Link is properly configured before proceeding. Use the following command to verify connectivity:
c-link --status miaa715
For troubleshooting, see Appendix B.

Step 5: Testing

Use the link’s diagnostic LED indicators: int main() int file; uint8_t status; // Open

• Green solid: Cyclic communication established.
• Green blinking: Acyclic (parameter) communication only.
• Red solid: Hardware fault (cable or termination).
• Red blinking: Configuration error (address conflict or cycle mismatch).
