3.4 Miscellaneous
This chapter contains miscellaneous information on the @CHIP-RTOS.
3.4.1 The CHIP.INI configuration file
The @CHIP-RTOS holds its non-volatile configuration information in a file named
CHIP.INI
found in the root directory of the flash disk drive. This ASCII text file can be adjusted either
directly with the edit function of the CHIPTOOL FTP client or with particular commands from
the terminal. The figure below shows a few example entries that might be found in a
CHIP.INI
file.
Refer to the @CHIP-RTOS API Documentation for a complete specification of the entries
possible in this configuration file.
3.4.2 The command shell
The @CHIP-RTOS has a command shell task which accepts commands from a standard I/O
device. This standard I/O device can be COM1, the Telnet port and, if the respective driver is
started, the USB Device port. The selection is controllable from the
CHIP.INI
file.
The standard I/O can be configured to be shared between application programs and the
@CHIP-RTOS command shell. A hot key (by default Ctrl + F) will switch the standard I/O focus
between application and @CHIP-RTOS command shell.
The HELP command gives an overview of all commands. Refer to the IPC@CHIP
®
API
Documentation for a detailed description of the shell commands.
