ghsmulticonfig - Configure coder product to interact with MULTI IDE

Syntax

IDEs

This function supports the following IDEs:

• Green Hills MULTI

Description

ghsmulticonfig launches a configuration dialog box to specify information about MULTI.

Note   The 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.

Directory

Enter the full path to your Green Hills MULTI executable, multi.exe. To search for the executable file, click Browse.

If you do not provide or select a correct path to the executable file, the software ignores your entry and returns an error message saying it could not find the executable multi.exe in the specified or selected folder.

Configuration

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 MPC7400, you could select ppc_standalone.tgt. The software stores your selection. You do not need to repeat this setup task unless you change processors.

Debug server

Use this parameter to enter the name of your debug connection. The 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 MPC7448 simulator, you could enter the string simppc -cpu=ppc7448 -dec -rom_use_entry. Valid strings for specifying simulators in Debug server appear in the following table.

Processor	Type	Configuration	Debug Server Parameter String
ARM	Simulator	arm_standalone.tgt	simarm -cpu=arm9
MPC7400	Simulator	ppc_standalone.tgt	simppc -cpu=7400 -dec
BlackFin 537	Simulator	bf_standalone.tgt	simbf -cpu=bf537 -fast
NEC V850	Simulator	v800_standalone.tgt	sim850 -cpu=v850
NEC V850	NEC Minicube	v800_standalone.tgt	850eserv2 -minicube -noiop -df=C:/ghs/multi505/v850e/ df3707.800 -id ffffffffff

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 name of the connection if you have one configured in the Connection Organizer in MULTI.

Host name

Specify the name of the machine that runs the service. Enter localhost if the service runs on your PC. localhost is the only supported host name.

Port number

Specify the port the 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, the software returns an error when you try to create a ghsmulti object.

Show server status window

Select this option to display the 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.
