Smart Cable SW Architecture and Development Kit Setup - 20230322

The document describes the setup and build process for a smart cable firmware project using the Keil and GNU toolchains. It outlines installing the IDEs, device pack, and toolchains. It provides steps for building a firmware binary file with both toolchains and flashing it to the device with the MiTAC utility. Debugging is done by printing messages over the UART port.
