Hi, I was wondering if anybody here has gotten the Uv2 IDE to work under Linux with wine. It does work pretty well for me except when it comes to the debugger using a monitor. For some reason wine does not seem to be handling serial ports as the debugger expects it to, and the IDE reports that the connection is lost. Any pointers?
Hi Luis, no idea, what would be usefull to you, since most likely you know the special limitations of wine. But I am really surprised, that somebody take a try under LINUX . I had a long time the wish to try it out, but no time and really some doubts. It is very interesting to me to hear this. If any news, would you be so kind to inform me ? If you are minded to do so , I will leave my e-mail contact here. Thanks in advance, Stefan
Can you get any other Windows apps to use the serial ports properly?
Sure, no problem. The IDE actually works very well. The mouse scroll wheel even works on the output pane, something that I haven't gotten to do under Windous ;-) But of course I need the debugger. It just doesn't seem to be that far just working ...
I haven't tried any other yet. I have debugged the problem a bit and I know that it does open the serial port (not a permission problem) and then it sends the first char and it seems to die waiting for an answer, I think because it Uv2 is expecting something in the GetCommProperties windows call that wine is not providing; I just haven't zeroed-in yet because I really haven't gone into the wine code before. But I think your suggestion can teach me a bit about it: probably I should write a little windows program that just excercises the com port so that I know what's going out and what should come in. Thanks
There has been some discussions on getting uVision2 to work in Wine at Wine HQ. See URL: http://www.winehq.org/ I did a quick search, and turned up some results: http://www.google.com/search?q=P89LPC901+philips+header+file&sourceid=opera&num=50&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Of course this all depends on what Linux you are running as well.
I successfully tested uVision2/C166 (debugging over RS232 and the parallel port dongle attached) in VMware 4.x under Redhat Linux 9 (Kernel 2.4.20). However, VMware is not free.
