8.4.2 T

RANSFERRING AN APPLICATION TO WRAP USING TERMINAL SOFTWARE

If your WRAP is not connected to a LAN, you may use terminal software of your own choice to

transfer data to the WRAP. The WRAP contains an X/Y/Zmodem protocol application, which

allows you to transfer data over the console using almost any terminal software available.

1. Connect your computer to the WRAP management UART using a cross-over serial cable,

and start your terminal software (115 200bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).

2. Change your working directory to where you want to upload your application, and run

the xmodem application with your application name as parameter.

3. Start Xmodem send from your terminal software.

Example:

[root@wrap /] cd /tmp

[root@wrap /tmp] rx testapp

rx: ready to receive testapp.

now start xmodem (checksum, not CRC) send from your terminal

[root@wrap /tmp]

If you want to save the application to /usr/local/bin (on the flash file system), you will have to

replace 'cd /tmp' with 'cd /usr/local/bin'. To examine the directory structure of the WRAP,

please see Appendix A.

8.4.3 U

SING NFS MOUNT

To use NFS mount, have a NFS share prepared in your development PC and mount the

directory with command "mount -o nolock <dev-pc-ipaddress>:/nfsshare /mnt/nfs". After this,

you can access the share in directory "/mnt/nfs".

8.5 R

UNNING AN APPLICATION TRANSFERRED TO WRAP

To run the application you just transferred to the WRAP, you need access to the WRAP Linux

console, either using terminal software connected to the WRAP management UART or using the

telnet connection (log in as "root" and remember the password, which is "buffy" by default).

After establishing a connection to the WRAP, change the directory to where your application is

located and change file permissions so that it can be executed, then run it.

Example:

[root@wrap /] cd /tmp

[root@wrap /tmp] chmod 755 testapp

[root@wrap /tmp] ./testapp

8.6 USING DEBUGGER (GDB/DDD)

It is possible to use GNU debugger GDB and a graphical user interface, like DDD, for

debugging applications in the WRAP Access Server.

You have to compile with debug options and without symbol stripping to make debugging

work. As mentioned above, this can be done by adding lines "APP_STRIP=false" and "CFLAGS

= -ggdb" to the Makefile below SRC line.

After you have compiled your application with these options and transferred your application to

WRAP, you can start debugging the application as follows:

1) Start gdbserver on the WRAP Access Server
