May 11 Back to Dev Env / Testing

At about this time my new Netbook Disk Drive got a problem.... so started over about 5/28

Again need to document current test environment that works.

After move to CMake (see Jan.29 hg cMake set-up)

Using GNUARM 4.1.1 in C:\GNUARM4_1_1





Testing on Laptop using Lab PC to double-check.

0.  Is the LMS seen right (=right device drivers found)? OK

• As HW bootable device (=firmware update)
• to be flashed with forte.bin or lego system or lejos or other firmware options.
• As eCos device 
• ready to test 
• ready to send/ run a 61499 application via forte

1. Flashing the LMS firmware

• Via Samba v2.10_cdc  - OK

• notice with v2.10 LMS shows up as a com port and under device driver Ports no longer under Universal Serial Ports
• Step summary: unlock, don't lock. If worked at all will be seen as eCos device now
• Via OpenOCD
• TODO: Need .cfg files . Must edit to match installed files <-- HERE

2. Test

• Blinky
• observe  (HERE - NOT Blinking ??? eCos copy? -O2 vs -O0? etc.)
• check via OpenOCD
• To test with OpenOCD must be compiled with -O0 not -O2, but this makes the code larger
• Compiling with -O0 to prepare for OpenOCD testing gets a link problem that it is too large (-O2 links)!!!    CHECK eCos VERSION using
• AVR
• via OpenOCD check for:
• sensor inputs
• motor status
• button status
• IEC61499 Applications
• 1 LED
• multiple LEDs
• sensor input
• motors on/off

May 10 Code Clean-up / Design updates

LMS code is moving up from forte with exporter ver. 3 to ver. 4
Additionally the code is being cleaned-up from c code that works to c++ code in forte.
A set-


LMS is no longer in arch/ecos directory but in its own directory with other FBs under modules:

• src/modules/lms: FBs and device interface code
• open: where does platform_i2c.c /.h go?
• src/modules/lms/lms_hw: has ecos and hw interface code
• src/modules/lms/lms_ecos : lms ecos specific

Here is a working draft UML class diagram with design / transformation to C++

The avr controller and port manager are not yet LMS_DEV class member.

If only 1 instance of a class was currently wanted, all methods were made static.

Two shells scripts were created to take of pre- and post- build (make all)  tasks:

• setup_lms.sh 
• allocates bin/lms and bin/lms/src
• copies lms ecos include and lib directories in bin directory
• finish_lms.sh 
• creates forte.bin
