GOLDELOX PROCESSOR
10. Hardware Tools
The following hardware tools are required for full
control of the GOLDELOX Processor.
4D Programming Cable 10.1.
The 4D Programming Cable is an essential
hardware tool to program, customise and test the
GOLDELOX Processor.
The 4D Programming Cable is used to program a
new Firmware/PmmC and downloading compiled
4DGL code into the module. It even serves as an
interface for communicating serial data to the PC.
The 4D Programming Cable is available from 4D
Systems, www.4dsystems.com.au
Evaluation Display Modules 10.2.
The following modules, available from 4D Systems,
can be used for evaluation purposes to discover
what the GOLDELOX processor has to offer.
μOLED-128-G2 - 1.5” Intelligent GOLDELOX Display
Other modules, such as the 0.96” and 1.7” OLED,
or 1.44” LCD versions are also available. Please
contact 4D Systems for more information, or visit
the 4D Systems website, www.4dsystems.com.au
11. 4D Systems - Workshop 4 IDE
Workshop 4 is a comprehensive software IDE that
provides an integrated software development
platform for all of the 4D family of processors and
modules. The IDE combines the Editor, Compiler,
Linker and Downloader to develop complete 4DGL
application code. All user application code is
developed within the Workshop 4 IDE.
The Workshop 4 IDE supports multiple
development environments for the user, to cater
for different user requirements and skill level.
• The Designer environment enables the user to
write 4DGL code in its natural form.
• A visual programming experience, suitably
called ViSi, enables drag-and-drop type
placement of objects to assist with 4DGL code
generation and allows the user to visualise
how the display will look while being
developed.
• A Serial environment is also provided to
transform the GOLDELOX Processor into a
slave serial module, allowing the user to
control the display from any host
microcontroller or device with a serial port.
The Workshop 4 IDE is available from the 4D
Systems website. www.4dsystems.com.au
For a comprehensive manual on the Workshop 4
IDE Software, refer to its documentation from the
4D Systems website.

Workshop 4 – Designer Environment 11.1.
Choose the Designer environment to write 4DGL
code in its raw form.
The Designer environment provides the user with
a simple yet effective programming environment
where pure 4DGL code can be written, compiled
and downloaded to the GOLDELOX.
