serial connection between IDE and target

Hello,

I want to use a serial connection between my x86 PC-104 target and the
IDE running under WinXP. That way I won’t need a PC-104 network card.
This serial connection is mentioned in the first chapter of the
programmers guide, but only for gdb without beeing called from the IDE.

Host side: Sice I am using a serial port (COM1) there is no IP address
and no port I could insert ??
Target side: How do I tell qconn to run the communication via /dev/ser1
instead.

I am using Momentics PE 6.2.0A

Thanks,
Georg

You would need to set up a ppp connection for that.

See the documentation pages for npm-pppmgr.so and pppd, but
don’t worry too much about the complexity of the latter;
usually starting the daemon ends up being something simple
like

pppd 20.0.0.1: /dev/ser1

This allows you to run TCP/IP over your serial line, if you
first have something like

io-net -ppppmgr -ptcpip

I don’t know how to set up the WinXP (host) side. I assume
it’s menu-driven :slight_smile:
