Introduction
1.1.2 Multiple developers environment
Dedicated server with all the necessary development tools installed is used for a host. The developer
uses a PC only as a graphical terminal to logon to the server. No specific software is installed on the
developer’s PC, so it is very easy to set another working environment for a new developer for the
project - just add a new user on the server and make a copy of the project source and make files in
the user’s home directory. Of course any source control tool, such as CVS or Visual Source Safe,
can be used for synchronizing the project files. In this configuration (Figure 2) all devices (the
server, the developers’ PCs and all PEEDIs) must be connected in a common LAN.

1.2 PEEDI in the manufacturing process
PEEDI can be used in the manufacturing process as a tool for testing the device after it is assembled
and as a FLASH programmer to program the device firmware. In both scenarios the host computer
is not required because all the operations can be formed as script files and executed using the
PEEDI’s front panel interface. If all the necessary files are stored on the MMC/SD card the Ethernet
connection is not required as well.
