8.2.3 Using REMSVR to Test Your Application (DSPpro-
VME or DSPpro-Serial)
If you are using the DSPpro-VME or DSPpro-Serial, make sure that the CONSOLE cable is
properly connected before using REMSVR. If you are using the DSPpro-PC, make sure that the
card is properly installed in the host computer. See chapter 4, “Hardware Installation” for more
information. In addition, you may want to verify basic installation using the techniques
described in chapter 2, “Quick Start.”
REMSVR may be used to test your application program, or to monitor your application running
on the DSPpro controller. This section describes the process necessary to use REMSVR to test
your application before committing it to flash memory.
REMSVR uses the
DSPpro Boot Disk
to provide the DOS shell to the DSPpro controller.
Because the DSPpro uses the floppy disk drive of the host computer as its file system when
operating under REMSVR, you will not have access to your application if you do not copy it to
the
DSPpro Boot Disk
.
Before using REMSVR for the first time, you will need to copy your application to the
DSPpro
Boot Disk
. Be sure to make a backup of the
DSPpro Boot Disk
before you copy your application.
Copy your application from the host computer’s hard drive to the
DSPpro Boot Disk
.
Follow these instructions to use REMSVR:
1. Insert
the
DSPpro Utility Disk
in the floppy drive of the host PC.
2. Execute the REMSVR application. Use the following syntax to execute REMSVR:
remsvr
If the console cable is connected to COM1 on the host
remsvr /2
If the console cable is connected to COM2 on the host
3. The output on the screen of the host should look similar to the following:
