Especially useful if you are thinking about experimenting with c++ - I have not seen this covered before. The actual code is labelled "all rights reserved". I am not sure what that is supposed to mean in practice but I guess you can't use it as-is for the basis of your own projects. But the insight gained should still be worthwhile. -- John Devereux

It is indeed kinda unique and article concentrates on over all system rather just a single thing. I can see people recommending another tutorial which is using AMR7 from NXP , but IMHO that tutorial is merely for configuring the toolchain and thats it. It does not talk about such details that are covered in Miro Samek's article. Maybe no one has tried that and thats why there are no comments. Or maybe no worth to comment;-) ali
