5.3.1. Connecting To HMon
We can now attempt to connect to the target device.
Press the Green ‘Connect’ Icon.
HMon is able to discover the internal flash configuration of the device from the FDT kernel we configured earlier. HMon also needs
information on the location of the IO registers and internal / external RAM. This information is stored in a ‘.TCF’ file. The TCF file is supplied
and registered with HEW. As it is possible to have TCF files with slightly different configurations the following dialog is displayed to allow
selection.
Select the TCF file that applies to your RSK.
Press <OK>.
A further dialog will be displayed to confirm if it acceptable to assume only one E8 device will be connected to the host computer while
using this project. This is the preferred operating mode. While it is possible to use more than one E8 device this is not recommended.
Press ‘Yes’ to assume only one E8 device
is connected while in this project.
Note: If you have not followed the Quick Start Guide, additional driver messages may be displayed here. Please refer to the Quick Start
Guide for driver installation.
The following dialog allows the selection of the baud rate and power options for connection to the target board and monitor code. The
default settings are shown below. If the target board is modified with a different crystal frequency then this setting will need to be changed.
(Note in this case the kernel will also need to be re-compiled).
