eXMP-SynqNet Quick Start Guide: Linux
Introduction
This Quick Start Guide explains how to configure the eXMP-SynqNet for software start-up
and configuration including connection, accessing Linux, and changing network interface
parameters. The eXMP-SynqNet has a default image preloaded onto the flash memory. The
eXMP-SynqNet will boot this image. The MEI device driver (MEIXMP.o) will automatically
load and be ready for executing motion applications at boot-up. The driver can be found in
the /MEI/Release directory. Note that no MEI utilities are shipped on the eXMP at the
factory. The user will need to copy the necessary files from the MPI release to the eXMP for
the specific version.
Fig 1
. A full version of the eXMP-SynqNet is shown above containing all the configuration
options.
NOTE
: Although a fully populated eXMP-SynqNet is shown, the setups should be identical
for a "lite" version of the eXMP-SynqNet.
IMPORTANT NOTE
In its default shipping state, the eXMP is configured for an IP address of:
192.1.68.1.74
The user can change his network settings by using telnet to access the eXMP and change
the IP address, or connect to the eXMP using a console connection and adapter (see the
Configuring for Console Mode
section).
IMPORTANT NOTE
The eXMP-SynqNet was designed to allow users to interact with its operating system using a
local console and command line via COM1. Therefore, COM1 functions as either a standard
COM1 connection or as the console mode connection. Do NOT connect a serial device into
the eXMP-SynqNet when COM1 is being used in console mode. COM1 cannot function as a
standard COM1 connection and a console mode connection at the same time. The following
steps will explain how to set up the eXMP-SynqNet in console mode so that it may be
accessed by a network computer for development and testing.
