ghsmulticonfig
ghsmulticonfig launches the Embedded IDE Link MU Configuration dialog box that you use to configure your Embedded IDE Link™ MU software installation to work with MULTI.
Note The Embedded IDE Link MU Configuration dialog box is the only place you set the host name and port number configuration. |
The dialog box, shown in the following figure, provides controls that specify parameters such as where you installed MULTI and the name of the host machine to use.
Tells Embedded IDE Link MU software the path to your Green Hills MULTI software installation. Enter the full path to the Green Hills® MULTI® executable, multi.exe, in your installation. To search for the executable file, click Browse.
If you have more than one version of MULTI, such as PowerPC (ppc) and V800 (v800), specify the path to multi.exe in the processor-specific version to use.
If you do not provide or select a correct path to the executable file, Embedded IDE Link MU software ignores your entry and returns an error message saying it could not find the executable multi.exe in the specified or selected directory.
Specifies the primary processor family to use to develop your projects in MULTI. This corresponds to a .tgt file you select before you can download and execute code. Select your family file from the list. In many cases, the family_standalone.tgt option is the appropriate choice. For example, if you develop on the Freescale™ MPC5xx, you could select ppc_standalone.tgt. Embedded IDE Link MU software stores your selection. You do not need to repeat this setup task unless you change processors.
Like the primary target configuration, MULTI needs a debug connection. This parameter enables you to enter the name of your debug connection. Embedded IDE Link MU software uses this connection to specify options about the processor, such as processor to use, board support library, and processor endianness. For more information about the Debug server, refer to your Green Hills MULTI documentation.
For example, if you are using the Freescale MPC5554 simulator, you could enter the string simppc -cpu=ppc5554 -dec -rom_use_entry. Valid strings for specifying simulators in Debug server appear in the following table.
| Processor | Type | Configuration | Debug Server Parameter String |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC5554 | Simulator | ppc_standalone.tgt | simppc -cpu=ppc5554 -dec -rom_use_entry |
| MPC7400 | Simulator | ppc_standalone.tgt | simppc -cpu=7400 |
| BlackFin 537 | Simulator | bf_standalone.tgt | simbf -cpu=bf537 -fast |
| NEC V850 | Simulator | v800_standalone.tgt | sim850 -cpu=v850 |
For information about using hardware in your development work, refer to Connecting to Your Target in the MULTI documentation. The string you specify for Debug server can be the command or the name of the connection if you have one configured in the Connection Organizer in MULTI.
Specify the name of the machine that runs the Embedded IDE Link MU service. Enter localhost if the service runs on your PC. localhost is the only supported host name.
Specify the port the Embedded IDE Link MU service uses to communicate with MULTI. The default port number is 4444. If you change the port value, verify that the port is available for use. If the port you assign is not available, Embedded IDE Link MU software returns an error when you try to create a ghsmulti object.
Select this option to display the Embedded IDE Link MU service status in the Microsoft Windows Task bar. Clearing the option removes the service from the task bar. Best practice is to select this option. Keeping this option selected enables the software to shut down the communication services for Green Hills MULTI completely.
