Chapter 1Installation

CautionFor existing EDGE users: Do not use this evaluation if you currently have EDGE installed. Contact [email protected] to obtain an evaluation to use in your environment.

OverviewThe Mentor Graphics’ EDGE Developer’s Suite Evaluation lets you explore the capability of the Nucleus OS products (Nucleus Kernel, Nucleus Storage & Database, and Nucleus Networking) and the EDGE Developer Suite (EDGE IDE, EDGE Compiler, EDGE Debugger, EDGE SimTest (virtual software development environment), and EDGE Profiler). EDGE Debugger is used in all of the demonstrations in this evaluation. To help facilitate the evaluation, four application demonstrations have been provided:

Nucleus PLUS Demonstration

The Nucleus PLUS demonstration helps you evaluate the capabilities of the Nucleus Kernel. Nucleus PLUS is a real-time, preemptive, multitasking kernel designed for time-critical embedded applications.

Server Demonstration

The Server demonstration helps you evaluate the features and functionality of the Nucleus IP-based Networking products and how they interact with the Nucleus Kernel and Nucleus Storage & Database products. This demonstration uses Nucleus PLUS (Nucleus Kernel), Nucleus FILE (a Nucleus Storage & Database product) and the following Nucleus Networking products: Nucleus NET, Nucleus WebServ, and Nucleus Extended Protocol Package.

EDGE SimTest Cell Phone Demonstration

The EDGE SimTest Cell Phone demonstration helps you evaluate the simulation capabilities of EDGE SimTest by illustrating two cell phones communicating with each other via a simulated GSM network. This demonstration is also an example of multi-target execution. It provides you with a way to build a system where a process can have many running instances at the same time.

EDGE Profiler Demonstration

The EDGE Profiler demonstration helps you evaluate the capabilities of the Profiler by simulating some of the characteristics of a camcorder. This demonstration

InstallationConfiguring the Nucleus NET Pcap Driver

December 2009

Configuring the Nucleus NET Pcap DriverNoteThis configuration is only required for the Server demonstration and the EDGE Profiler demonstration.

Before debugging the project, you must configure the Nucleus NET Pcap driver. The WinPcap Nucleus NET driver for EDGE SimTest enables embedded applications that are run under the simulation environment to access Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) Local Area Networks using the standard Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NIC) of your workstation.

To configure the Nucleus NET Pcap driver, perform the following steps:

1. Click Start > Programs > Mentor Graphics > EDGE SimTest > WinPcap Configuration. The NETSIM Pcap Driver Configurator dialog box appears.

2. Under Ethernet interface 1, click Change. The Select Interface dialog box appears.

3. Select the appropriate interface for your system (for example, Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver) as shown in Figure 1-1. Wireless is not supported.

Figure 1-1. Select Interface

4. Click OK. The NETSIM Pcap Driver Configurator dialog box is now populated with the correct Ethernet information.

5. Click OK again to complete the configuration. You are now ready to build a demonstration project.

To evaluate Nucleus OS products, see Chapter 2, Evaluating Nucleus OS.

To evaluate EDGE Developer Suite, see Chapter 3, Evaluating EDGE Developer Suite.


Chapter 2Evaluating Nucleus OS

9. To place a call, enter 5002 (the number for the other cell phone) using the keypad of phone 5001.

10. Click the Enter button. Phone 5002 receives the call from 5001 as shown in Figure 3-4.

Figure 3-4. Cell Phones Placing and Receiving a Call

11. On phone 5002, click Enter to answer the call. Both the phones are now connected.

12. To end the call, click Enter on each phone to hang up.

Once you have completed your evaluation of the Cell Phone demonstration, you can end the debugging session by clicking the red Terminate button (See Figure 3-2) in the demo.hmi view.

To evaluate additional features of EDGE Developer Suite, see Using the EDGE Profiler Demonstration.

Evaluating EDGE Developer SuiteUsing the EDGE Profiler Demonstration


Using the EDGE Profiler DemonstrationThe EDGE Profiler allows you to capture, store, and analyze data about kernel objects and system events for applications built on Nucleus kernels. It improves performance, detects flaws in real-time logic, and maximizes system understanding by running on the target hardware and capturing real-time behavior. The EDGE profiler demonstration analyzes some of the events that occur on a camcorder. This shows how you can analyze the frames that are recorded over time.

This section describes how to debug and run the EDGE Profiler demonstration.


Building the Profiler DemonstrationTo build the EDGE Profiler demonstration, perform the following steps:




4. In the Navigator view, expand the profile_demo project.

5. Double-click demoi.c to open it.

6. Locate the DEMOI_MAC_ADDR macro.

7. In the macro definition, change the code “0x40” to “0x##” where ## is any double-digit hexadecimal number, 00-FF, and save the file.

8. In the Navigator view, right-click profile_demo and click Build Project.

Debugging the Profiler Demonstration

CautionBefore you continue, you must complete the steps in Configuring the Nucleus NET Pcap Driver in Chapter 1 if you have not already done so.

To set up the debug environment for the EDGE Profiler demonstration, perform the following steps:



December 2009

1. In the Navigator view, right-click profile_demo.



Now, you are ready to run the EDGE Profiler demonstration.

Running the Profiler Demonstration

NoteBe sure to turn off Google™ Desktop search before running this demonstration.

To run the Profiler demonstration, perform these steps:

1. In the Debug view of the EDGE Debug perspective, click the Resume ( ) button. Also, maximize the DOS window. After a few seconds, the DOS window is populated with information including the IP address you will use to view the demo output in the profiler. You may need to maximize the DOS window. (See Figure 3-5)

Tip: Be sure to copy or write down this IP address. You will use it in subsequent steps.

Figure 3-5. DOS Window with Demo Information

At this point the Profiler demonstration (and the Nucleus Agent) is running and is waiting for a connection from the EDGE System Profiler.

2. Open the EDGE Profiler perspective. To do this, click Window > Open Perspective > EDGE System Profiler .



3. In the Profiling Monitor view, be sure the Link with Viewer ( ) button is selected.

4. Click the Command tab to display the Command view.

5. At the EDGE prompt, type the following ETS command where <IP address> is the IP address you copied from your DOS window, for example, “ets /connect=udp,192.168.30.40:8627”:

EDGE>ets /connect=udp,<IP address>:8627

6. Press Enter.

7. Click Run > Profile.

If you did not install this evaluation to the default directory, see Creating the Profiler Demonstration Launch Configuration to create the Profiler demonstration launch configuration. Once you have created the launch configuration, proceed to step 9.

If you did install to the default location, proceed to step 8.

8. In the Profile dialog, expand EDGE Profiler and click profile_demo as shown in Figure 3-6.

Figure 3-6. EDGE Profile Configuration

9. Click Apply, then Profile.

10. Now that you have successfully connected to the Agent, you can start monitoring the EDGE transport for profiler events. To do this, in the Profiling Monitor view, click the Start Monitoring ( ) button.



December 2009

The EDGE Agent Control view is populated with real-time filters you can enable and disable.

11. In the EDGE Agent Control view, expand the event if it is not already expanded.

12. Scroll to PD Log Frame Recorded, click the plus symbol to expand it. Then, click anywhere in the Profiling Monitor view. PD Log Frame Recorded expands to display its attributes.

13. Under PD Log Frame Recorded, click the Frame Number, Horizontal Resolution, and Log check boxes to select them. As soon as you select an attribute’s check box, data begins to flow immediately.

Figure 3-7. EDGE System Profiler Perspective Showing Data Flow
