Using the Application Integrator

Introduction

One of the Software Development Tools provided in the NURIT ADT is the

Application Integrator program. The Application Integrator should be used by both

Motorola and ARM based applications as follows:

1. For Motorola based applications supported by NOS version 6 , this tool

allows to convert the Linker output file - an F70 extension file ( *.F70 ) or an ABS

extension file ( *.ABS ) - to an APP extension file ( *.APP ).

2. For Motorola or ARM based applications supported by NOS version 7 , the

tool allows to convert the Linker output file ( *.HEX extension file) to one of the

following files:

! *.APP extension file - for a traditional stand alone application (‘Single

Application Mode)

! *.EDA extension file – for Event Driven Applications part of the MultiApplication Environment (‘Multi Application Mode’)

! *.DLM extension file - for Dynamically Linked Modules of either Single

Application or Event Driven Applications. (‘Single Application Mode’ or‘Multi Application Mode’)

File conversion is required before downloading the complied and linked file of your

application into the NURIT terminal. After the file is converted using the

Application Integrator, it can be downloaded into the terminal via the NURIT CC

(WNCC) or via direct cable connection (RS232) to the HOST.

The converted file contains data regarding the application requirements: the

Hardware Components required, indication for the Plug-in file, the DLMs used by

the application, and the supported Industry Types.

Converting Files

To create an *.APP / *.EDA / *.DLM file follow the following steps:

1. Select location for the Application Integrator installation on your PC (Part ofADT)

2. Run the Application Integrator program.

3. From the ‘ File’ menu, press ‘ Import File to Convert ‘ and select the source fileto be converted. You can choose between the following files: HEX / ABS / f70.

4. Opening the file to convert , the ‘ Specific ’ and the ‘ Used DLMs ’ tabs will befilled by the Application Integrator tool, with data from your application Header file.

The ‘ Used DLMs’ tab displays the DLMs to be used by the application. These

DLMs are imported into the Nurit CC along with the application.

Note that each of the DLMs used by your application, must be converted separatelyusing the Application Integrator..

Selecting the ‘ Memory ’, ‘Communication Ports ’, ‘Display ’,’ Cards ’ and‘General ’– tabs, insert other Application hardware parameters.

The NURIT CC uses this data to check the compatibility of the terminal hardwarewith the application hardware requirements, before enabling the download.

5. In the ‘ Software ’ tab, select the Plug-in file to be used by your application. ThePlug-in allows to download a particular combination of parameters from the NURITCC into the terminals.

6. In the ‘ Software’ tab select the ‘ Industry Type’ to be supported by yourapplication.

7. Press ‘ Convert File ’ to save the converted file in the same folder from where thesource file is taken.

8. After converting the file, you can click on ‘ Exit’ to quit the ApplicationIntegrator. The post converted file was given a name according to the followingconvention:

Block name_version_A .APP

E.g. demo_0100_A.APP

demo – block name0100 - versionA – for ARM (or M for Motorola)APP – extension.

Viewing Converted Files

The Application Integrator allows to view any converted APP/ EDA/ DLM file.Viewing is enabled in Read Only mode. In this mode, the parameters cannot bechanged and the file cannot be saved.

To change any of the parameters, open the original HEX / ABS / f70 file andfollow the conversion steps.

To view a converted file, from the ‘ File’ menu, select ‘ View Converted File ’
