QuickStart

This setup helps you create standalone GET software releases which you can load and test without overwriting your old settings.

  • Download Getscripts
  • extract it to your home directory.
  • copy update2.sh and mmSync to your home directory.
  • edit update2.sh and change the release date and the password. If macports and Ice are still screwed up un-comment the export command there.
  • execute update.sh and wait for some time.
  • when done, cd ~/GET-2014XXXX or whatever release number you have.
  • then cd runtime, make any changes to your *.xcfg files
    • you have to synchronize all your macmini farm. open a new terminal window, cd ~ then execute ./mmSync GET-20140516 or whatever version you have
    • This should copy the new release to all mac minis (if you change *.xcfg you have to redo this)
  • If there is a new getHwServer-release-2014XXXX.out on the wiki then download it and copy it to /mnt/local/export/filesystem/ then edit startup.vxsh accordingly.
  • cd ~/GET-2014XXXX/runtime then open multiple tabs
  • type source ../GETUP
    • in multiple tabs
  • run getEccServer and getEccClient then GetController

Storing misc data in Flash

Make sure CoBo is connected to JTAG and powered up. To store the above information in NOR flash. You should have Xilinx EDK/SDK installed. Start Xilinx command prompt environment (if you are in GNU/Linux just source the settings.sh file) if you are using Windows, go to start → Xilinx Design Tools → Accessories → ISE Design Suite command prompt, once it is launched

Change Directory to the folder where the configuration files (attached) are stored e.g. C:\CoBos_Info\configure

  • To store vxworks type:

xmd -nx -tcl flashwriter.tcl vx.tcl

  • To store the mac address:
    • edit mac.tcl
    • for the board labeled 1233 (serial number sticker) you should use mac_addr_temac-1233.bin
    • for the board labeled 1234 use mac_addr_temac-1234.bin
    • You should run xmd -nx -hw system.xml -tcl flashwriter.tcl mac.tcl

If you want to try a firmware just start xmd by typing xmd in Xilinx shells/command prompt Then type: fpga –f download.bit This should download the bitstream and immediately start the vxworks OS.
