Running an eCos Example Application (Embedded Development Module)
You must have two serial ports to run the example application. COM 1 downloads an application you build. COM 2 displays diagnostic information. Verify you receive the RedBoot splash screen on both of the COM ports. Both ports communicate at speed 57,600 bps.
Complete the following steps to run an eCos example application.
- Launch LabVIEW and create a blank LabVIEW project.
- Right-click the project in the Project Explorer window and select New»Targets and Devices from the shortcut menu to open the Add Targets and Devices dialog box.
- Expand the Embedded folder and select the Axiom CMD565, eCos target.
- Click the OK button to add the target to the project.
- Right-click the Axiom CMD 565, eCos target and select New VI from the shortcut menu to create a blank VI and add it to the project.
- Create a simple VI that prints something on the diagnostic output.
- Click the Run button on the block diagram or front panel window. Follow the LabVIEW prompts to save the VI, create a new build specification, save the project, and build the embedded VI into an embedded project. The terminal that is connected to the diagnostic output displays the message the VI prints.
