Miscellaneous

Kiel uVision5 is available on all SCSS Lab PCs.

If you wish to run the Kiel uVision5 software on your own laptop/desktop PC (it is not available for a Mac) you need to download and install (1) MDK-ARM and (2) the legacy support for ARM7, ARM9 and Cortex-R.

You can also use one of the SCSS Windows 10 Virtual Lab Machines (they have Kiel uVision5 installed) through the following portal. These Virtual Lab Machines are available 24/7 and can be accessed remotely from outside College.

If your need assistance with learning to program, beyond that provided by the lectures, tutorial and labs, you should contact the SCSS Undergraduate Programming Centre (UGPC).
