Step 3: Convert and download codes to flash ROM

Within the host computer, convert the application program into 80186 or 80188 compatible code. Create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the application program and write the application program's name in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Also create COMMAND.COM and CONFIG.SYS files for the application program. Load the ADAM-4500 utility software into the host-PC. Load the converted application program and the files AUTOEXEC.BAT, COMMAND.COM, and CONFIG.SYS into directory ALLFILE. Execute the utility software to download the contents of ALLFILE into the ADAM-4500 flash ROM.

Step 4: Power on ADAM-4500 to complete the application

After all the files in directory ALLFILE have been completely transferred to the flash ROM, re- power on the ADAM-4500.

Chapter 4 Function Library

The ADAM-4500 is packaged with a utility disk that contains a directory called LIBRARY. This directory contains a number of function calls that enable a user to efficiently write applications for ADAM-4500. The library supports both Turbo C 2.0 and Microsoft C 6.0 version programming languages.

The "LIBRARY" directory contains the following two sub-directories:

. TC20

Library for Turbo C 2.0 version

. MSC60

Library for Microsoft C 6.0 version

Function Library for Turbo C

The TC20 directory contains the following files:

ADAM4500.H

Declaration file

4500L.LIB

Library file for compiling large mode

4500S.LIB

Library file for compiling small mode

Function Library for Microsoft C

The MSC60 directory contains the following files:

ADAM4500.H

Declaration file

4500L.LIB

Library file for compiler large mode

4500C.LIB

Library file for compiler compact mode

4500M.LIB

Library file for compiler medium mode

4500S.LIB

Library file for compiler small mode

The function calls included in the directory LIBRARY are described in the following pages.
