2.5.2 Configuration with a Windows host

First make sure that the BDI is properly connected (see Chapter 2.1 to 2.4).

!

To avoid data line conflicts, the BDI2000 must be disconnected from the target system while programming the logic for an other target CPU (see Chapter 2.1.1).

dialog box «BDI2000 Update/Setup»

Before you can use the BDI2000 together with the GNU debugger, you must store the initial config- uration parameters in the BDI2000 flash memory. The following options allow you to do this:

Channel

Select the communication port where the BDI2000 is connected during

 

this setup session.

Baudrate

Select the baudrate used to communicate with the BDI2000 loader during

 

this setup session.

Connect

Click on this button to establish a connection with the BDI2000 loader.

 

Once connected, the BDI2000 remains in loader mode until it is restarted

 

or this dialog box is closed.

Current

Press this button to read back the current loaded BDI2000 software and

 

logic versions. The current loader, firmware and logic version will be

 

displayed.

Update

This button is only active if there is a newer firmware or logic version

 

present in the execution directory of the bdiGDB setup software. Press this

 

button to write the new firmware and/or logic into the BDI2000 flash mem-

 

ory / programmable logic.
