MDK5 Packs

The MDK software package provides additional software components and support

formicrocontroller devices, DFP for short (Device Family Pack).Users can choose to download

the latest version of pack from www.geehy.com.Or you can choose to download the historical

version of pack of Geehy directory from ：www.keil.com

SDK download link ：https://global.geehy.com/support/apm32/?id=271

4.Installation method:

1. Double-click Install

5. General SDK

Software Development Kit, SDK for short, generally, refers to the collection of development tools used bysoftware engineers to establish application software for specific software packages, software frameworks, hardware platforms, operating systems, etc. It is a toolkit provided by a third-party service provider to implementthe functions of software products. For users, it can shorten development cycle, reduce resource costs, andaccelerate product R&D.APM32F4xx_SDK mainly serves the common module of APM32F4xx series MCU, and supports KEIL, IARand other development platforms. The SDK contains the driver code and application routines of ADC, CAN, DMA and other modules. Users can select appropriate driver for related configuration.

6.1 Geehy-Link

Geehy-LINK is a development tool integrating simulator and programmer, which can debug and simulatethe APM32 full-range MCU products online in Keil, IAR and other integrated development environments.Support full-speed operation, single-step debugging, breakpoint setting and other debugging methods. Refer tothe document of GEEHY-LINK User Manual V1.0.0.pdf on the official website.

Keil MDK IDE：

a) Use the USB cable to connect Geehy-LINK to the computer. After they are connected successfully, Geehy DAP USB Device will appear on the device manager

b) Open the project file and select "Options for Target" tab.

c) Select "CMSIS-DAP Debugger" as the emulator after downloading under the "Debug" option and select "Setting".

d) In the "CMSIS-DAP Cortex-M Driver Setup" interface, select "Geehy CMSIS-DAP" (the oldversion is "Apex CMSIS-DAP") and click "OK".

IAR EW for Arm IDE：

a) Open the project file and select "Options" tab.

b) Select "CMSIS DAP" simulator in "Debugger" and click "OK".

6.2 APM32 PROG

APM32-PROG is a tool developed for APM32 series chips. It can be used together with the uppercomputer software to complete the software programming of MCU chips, supports in-system and offlineprogramming, supports JTAG and SWD programming of the upper computer, and supports WIN7/8/10drive-free use.For detailed operation, refer to APM32_PROG User Manual V1.0.pdf on the official website.Download the upper computer software Apex-APM32-Setup.msi, and then install it (the installationinterface is omitted). Open the software and connect APM32PROG. After successful connection, the uppercomputer will read the firmware version of the current APM32PROG, as shown in the red box at the bottom ofthe figure below. If the firmware version of the current APM32PROG is lower than the latest version, you will beprompted to update the firmware version.

The functional area of the APM32PROG upper computer is divided into the file opening area, configurationarea (including serial number configuration and configuration writing), and offline or online operation area.APM32PROG, together with the upper computer, can realize such functions as programming, reading, encryption and decryption of the target MCU.
