The uVision Socket Interface (UVSOCK) enables third-party applications (Clients) to control and monitor uVision. The interface is implemented over TCP/IP and can be used locally on the PC running uVision or remotely from another PC on the network.

UVSOCK can be used with the:

Client Interface (UVSC) (recommended method) where uVision is controlled via a familiar, easy to use C-API interface. The UVSC-Tester application exemplifies such a client.
Direct Interface (UVSOCK) where uVision is controlled via TCP/IP directly. Recommended when running the Client on an operating system other than Microsoft Windows.

UVSOCK is communicating over messages with the client. Refer to UVSOCK Messaging for details.

Clients can:

Access the uVision Device Database
Configure a project
Build a project
Debug a project and use the advanced debugging features of the Real-Time Agent

Application Note Structure

The application note is delivered in a zip-file containing a client tester, precompiled DLLs for clients, source code, and this documentation. The source code and the DLLs were built with Visual Studio 2015.

The table lists the structure of the application note.

Folder	Content	Description
UVSOCK	various	root folder of application note
\bin	UVSC.dll	Client DLL for 32-bit operating systems
	UVSC.lib	Client Library for 32-bit operating systems
	UVSC_Tester.exe	Client example application for 32-bit operating systems
	UVSC64.dll	Client DLL for 64-bit operating systems
	UVSC64.lib	Client Library for 64-bit operating systems
	UVSC_Tester64.exe	Client example application for 64-bit operating systems
\doc	documentation	This documentation
\src	targetver.h	Header file needed by the compiler to retrieve system information
	UVSOCK.h	Header file for the UVSOCK interface
\src\UVSC	various	Visual Studio solution files and source code for a Client application
\src\UVSC\UVSC_DLL	UVSC_C.h	Header file for the Client application (used in the Tester example)
\src\UVSC\UVSC_Tester	source code	Source code for the Client application (Tester example)
\src\UVSC\UVSOCK_Log	source code	Source code for creating the UVSC_Tester Message window logging UVSOCK messages. Only needed for the UVSC-Tester application.
\src\UVSC\UVSOCK_Tester	source code	Source code for Client application running on operating systems other than Microsoft Windows

Requirements

One of the following Keil products is required:

MDK-ARM Microcontroller Development Kit V3.22 (or greater)
C51 Development Tools V8.14a (or greater)
