Introduction

The Maxim Microcontrollers SDK (MaximSDK), now a part of Analog Devices, contains tools and resources to develop firmware for the MAX-series of microcontrollers. This includes register files, peripheral drivers, system startup files, documentation, various utilities, third-party libraries, IDE support files, and a toolchain.

In general, the MaximSDK can be broken into two main pieces: code vs toolchain. This repository contains the code, while the toolchain has all the programs you need to build that code for the MAX-series microcontrollers.

Installation

Automatic Installer

The MaximSDK is available via an automatic installer for the platforms below. The automatic installer will retrieve the latest release version of this repository.

  • Windows 10

  • Ubuntu Linux

    • This file must be made executable before it can be run. Use the command chmod +x MaximMicrosSDK_linux.run. Alternatively, set “Allow executing as program” in the Ubuntu GUI.

  • MacOS

    • For MacOS the installer is distributed inside of a .dmg disk image file. Double click the downloaded file to mount it. Afterwards, the installer executable will be made available inside the mounted drive.

Completing the Installation on MacOS

On MacOS, some additional missing packages must be manually installed via Homebrew.

For non-M1 platforms:

  1. Follow the instructions on the Homebrew home page to install Homebrew on your system.

  2. Then, open a terminal and run the command...

brew install libusb-compat libftdi hidapi libusb

For M1 platforms:

You must use a Rosetta terminal to install Homebrew:

  1. Open a terminal and update Rosetta.
softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

  1. Close the terminal.

  2. Run a new terminal in Rosetta:

    1. Go to Finder > Applications and find your Terminal

    2. Right-Click Terminal and Duplicate it. Rename it to "Terminal i386".

    3. Rich-Click "Terminal i386" > Get Info > Enable "Open using Rosetta"

    4. Launch the new "Terminal i386" and type arch to verify that it says i386 now.

  3. From your Rosetta terminal follow the instructions on the Homebrew home page to install Homebrew on your system.

  4. Run the command...

brew install libusb-compat libftdi hidapi libusb
