This file contains the kernel, hardware abstraction layer and libraries for development on the Sentio platform.

This code is intended to be included as a submodule in a Sentio application. The code can be neither compiled nor executed on its own. Nevertheless, to inspect the code or make changes it can be cloned.

git clone git@github.com:mpfusion/sentio-framework.git

These tools can be obtained from as binary version and source code from Mentor Graphics. Here is a link to the Linux 686 binary package. If this download is unavailable a version can be found in the Downloads section.

Unpack the archive and add the bin directory to your PATH, e.g. as follows:

cat >> $HOME/.profile << EOL
if [ -d "\$HOME/usr/opt/arm-2011.03/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="\$HOME/usr/opt/arm-2011.03/bin:\$PATH"
fi
EOL

These tools are only available as binaries and can be obtained from energymicro. Here is a link to the Linux 686 binary package If this download is unavailable a version can be found in the Downloads section.

Unpack the archive and add the bin directory to your PATH, e.g. as follows:

cat >> $HOME/.profile << EOL
if [ -d "\$HOME/usr/opt/energymicro" ] ; then
    PATH="\$HOME/usr/opt/energymicro:\$PATH"
fi
EOL

For this tools you need the 32 bit readline and libusb libraries. Depending on your distribution the packages might be called differently, on Debian it is lib32readline5 and libusb-1.0-0.

To see the debug output one can use a terminal program like minicom. The necessary settings are as follows.

device         /dev/ttyUSB0
baud rate      2000000
bits           8
parity         odd
flow control   no

This can be accomplished with the following minicom configuration.

pu port      /dev/ttyUSB0
pu baudrate  2000000
pu bits      8
pu parity    O
pu stopbits  1

Place these lines in a file called $HOME/.minirc.dfl and running minicom on the console should display the debug output generated by the running program. Unfortunately by default one needs root access for this.
