Introduction
1.2.2 PEEDI as a device tester
Here the PEEDI can be used in the same manner as in the previous section - making telnet
connection or through the front panel interface.
Depending on the specifics of what is to be tested two options can be applied:
•
Execute commands that directly make some sort of test i.e.
flash verify , memory test
, etc.
•
Download executable code into target, which will perform the desired test and set a CPU
register or memory on exit to a value showing the result of the test. This option is often
preferred because there are virtually no limits to test examples a user can create.
1.2.3 High productivity with the Multi Program feature
With the “Multi Program” feature users can increase productivity by working on upto four boards
simultaneously using a single PEEDI. The boards must be chained using a multi-core adapter
(Figure 1.5: Multi board programming) available from Ronetix.

Installation
This chapter will explain how to connect PEEDI to the target and how to configure all the tools
necessary for development. Two major steps must be followed in order to set up a working PEEDI:
•
Connect all required cables, this includes a power cord, target cable and if necessary an
Ethernet cable, which will provide connection to a host computer or file server.
This is explained in subsection
