4.8. SylixOS

The used ethernet port instance should be unbind from the OS otherwise the proper operation can’t be guarantied.

4.8.1. Setting up and running EcMasterDemo

Prepare system
- Setup your x64 operation system, unbind the wanted Ethernet port.
- Connect the SylixOS PC to the host PC via Ethernet and test the connection via FTP and TELNET
Compile EcMasterDemo
- Install the RealEvo-IDE
- Start and open the Workspace
- Add the Base-Project “AT_SylixOSBase_x64” , ensure the chosen Toolchain and CPU Type as 64bit (called “x86-64”), and build it
- Add the EcMasterDemo-Project, ensure the variable SYLIXOS_BASE_PATH in the “config.mk” is set to the Base-Project and build it (All configurations in the EcMasterDemo Project have to be done in the make files!)
Run using GDB
- Add the SylixOS PC as device. Open Properties of the EcMasterDemo project. Go to “SylixOS Project” -> “Device Setting”, open “New Device”, add a new Device with the IP address of the SylixOS PC
- Open the “Debug Configuration”, create a new “SylixOS Remote Application” and enter the Arguments Settings “-i8254x 1 1 -f “eni.xml” -t 10000 -auxclk 500” (If you chose the wrong instance of the Ethernet port you could kill your Debug connection. “-i8254x <Instance> 1” )
- Copy the shared libraries of the EcMaster and the LinkLayer to the “/lib/” folder on the SylixOS PC or the folder of the EcMasterDemo /app/EcMasterDemo/ (“EcMaster.so” and “emllI8254x.so”) And copy your ENI-file to the folder of the EcMasterDemo on the SylixOS PC
- Start debugging

Besides the general settings from Compiling the EcMasterDemo the following settings are necessary to build the example application for SylixOS.
