mikromedia™has developed into a well-known brand. Not only that we set new standards in design and
selection of on-board modules, but we also created an entire ecosystem of users who use our visual tools and
compilers to develop TFT applications faster and easier than ever before. The ease of use is our top priority.
This is why we wanted to take things to the next level.
mikromedia™workStation v7 is unlike anything you have seen before. With custom pin markings it will
revolutionize the way people look at dierent architectures. Switching from one mikromedia to another while
using virtually the same code is a very powerful concept. We are condent this will be especially interesting
in education and among developers who need exibility and rapid prototyping.

mikromedia™workStation v7 contains four female headers that together form a socket for specialized
small development boards with a microcontroller and on-chip modules, called mikromedia™ boards. Two of
them are used for general purpose I/O and power pins (1x26). The other two are used for the mikroProg™
programmer (1x5) or ICD2/3 (1x6). Before placing the mikromedia™board into the appropriate socket
(Page 10), you have to solder two 1x26 male headers to the side pads and one 1x5 male header for
mikroProg™programmer. Currently, six mikromedia™boards are supported, but there is a tendency to
increase the number:

Before you plug the mikromedia™board into the
socket, make sure that the power supply is turned
o. Images below show how to correctly plug the
board. First make sure that mikromedia™board
orientation matches the silkscreen outline on the
mikromedia™workStation v7 board socket. Place the
mikromedia™board over the socket so that each male
header is properly aligned with the female socket,
as shown in Figure 4-4. Then put the mikromedia™
board slowly down until all the pins match the
socket (make sure you don't push the screen). Check
again if everything is placed correctly and press the
mikromedia™board until it is completely plugged
into the socket as shown in Figure 4-5. Now you
can turn the power supply on.

What is mikromedia™board?
The mikromedia™board is a compact development
system with lots of on-board peripherals which allow
development of devices with multimedia content. The
central part of the system is a PIC18FJ®,PIC24®,
dsPIC33® or PIC32® microcontroller, depending on
mikromedia™board. The mikromedia™features integrated
modules such as Audio module (with stereo MP3 codec
and 3.5mm audio connector for headphones), resistive
TFT 320x240 touch screen display (with 262.144
dierent colors), battery charger, accelerometer, microSD
card slot and 8 Mbit ash memory. mikromedia™ board also
contains a MINI-B USB connector, two 1x26 connection
pads, LI-Polymer battery connector and other. It comes pre
programmed with bootloader, but can also be programmed
with standalone programmers, such as mikroProg™or
ICD2/3. mikromedia™is compact and slim, and perfectly
ts in the palm of your hand, which makes it a convenient
platform for mobile devices. It can be powered through a
USB MINI-B cable or battery supply. When you put any of
them in mikromedia™workStation v7 system number
of modules and functionality signicantly increase.
Key components are marked as in the example of
mikromedia for PIC32®(Figure 4-6)and are similar
for other mikromedia™. The most important dierences
between mikromedia™boards are shown on page 12 and
13. A detailed description can be found in appropriate
manuel provided with the mikromedia™board.

BSP makes programming easier
«Board Support Package in mikroElektronika compilers
In embedded world, BSP or Board Support Package is
the common name for all hardware-specic codes which
simplies working with the board. That is why we made
a BSP package support for mikromedia™workStation
v7 board, to make programming of mikromedia™boards
much easier. Various mikromedia boards have dierent
connections of microcontroller pins on side pads.
mikromedia™workStation v7 development system has a
unique set of markings on a silk screen which enables you
to use each pin connected to mikromedia™side pads with
the well organized layout, combined together into ve I/O
groups labeled as G0, G1, G2, G3 and G4. BSP abstracts
what's "underneath the hood" and enables you to have
one development system for various mikromedia™boards.
For example, pin number 5 on the side pad of mikromedia
for PIC18FJ is connected to the RF2 microcontroller pin. On
theotherhand,pinnumber5on thesidepadofmikromedia
for PIC32 is connected to the RB2 microcontroller pin.
BSP package and mikromedia workStation v7 oers you
the possibility to use this pin with the unique name G0.0,
and this stands for all PIC mikromedia boards. In addition
to simple I/O functions, BSP package also provides you
a simple way of using ADC, I2C, SPI and UART libraries
without knowing, for example if it is UART1 or UART2
module connected to mikromedia™side pads. Before
using, you need to choose the appropriate BSP package
depending on the programming language (C, Basic,
Pascal) and the type of mikromedia (PIC18FJ®, PIC24®,
PIC24EP®, dsPIC33®, dsPIC33EP®, PIC32®). BSP can only
be used with Mikroelektronika compilers. If you use other
compilers or if you do not want to use BSP, connections
between mikromedia™side pads and workStation board
pins are as shown on the images below.
