<chapter id="user-guide-installation-target">
<title>Target Setup</title>

<PARA>While <productname>eCos</productname> supports a variety of
targets, communication with all the targets happens in one of four
ways. These are described in general below. Any details or variations
from these descriptions will be found in the
<productname>eCos</productname> documentation for a specific target,
in the appendix.</PARA>

<SECT1 id="connecting-target-serial">
<TITLE><!-- <index></index> -->Connecting Via Serial Line</TITLE>

<PARA>Most targets will have RedBoot or GDB Stubs installed.
These normally waits for GDB to connect at 38400 baud, using 8 data
bit, no parity bit and 1 stop-bit and no hardware flow control. Check
the documentation for your target to ensure it uses this speed. If not,
adjust the following instructions accordingly.</PARA>

<PARA>The following instructions depend on your having selected
the appropriate serial port on the host. That is, the serial port
which connects to the target's (primary) serial port. On
Linux this could be <FILENAME>/dev/ttyS0</FILENAME>,
while the same port on Windows would be named COM1.
Substitute the proper serial port name in the below.</PARA>

<PARA>Connect to the target by issuing the following commands in
GDB console mode:</PARA>

<PROGRAMLISTING>
(gdb) set remotebaud 38400    <!-- <conditionaltext> -->
(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0
</PROGRAMLISTING>

<PARA>In Insight, connect by opening the <EMPHASIS>File-&#62;Target
Settings</EMPHASIS> window and enter:</PARA>

<PROGRAMLISTING>
Target: Remote/Serial     
Baud Rate: 38400     
Port: /dev/ttyS0
</PROGRAMLISTING>

<PARA>Set other options according to preference, close the window
and select 
<EMPHASIS>Run-&#62;Connect to target</EMPHASIS>.
</PARA>

</SECT1>

<!-- ==================================================== -->

<SECT1 id="connecting-target-ethernet">
<TITLE><!-- <index></index> -->Connecting Via Ethernet</TITLE>

<PARA>Some targets allow GDB to connect via Ethernet - if so, it will
be mentioned in the document describing the target. Substitute the
target's assigned IP address or hostname for &lt;hostname&#62; in the
following. Depending on how RedBoot has been configured, it will
either have this address allocated statically, or will acquire it via
BOOTP. In both cases RedBoot will report the IP address it is
listening on in its startup message printed on the serial port. The
&lt;port&#62; is the TCP port which RedBoot is listening on, usually
9000. It is also listed in the target document.</PARA>

<PARA>Connect to the target by issuing the following command in
GDB console mode:</PARA>

<PROGRAMLISTING>
(gdb) target remote &lt;hostname&#62;:&lt;port&#62;
</PROGRAMLISTING>

<PARA>In Insight, connect by opening the <EMPHASIS>File-&#62;Target
Settings</EMPHASIS> window and enter:</PARA>

<PROGRAMLISTING>
Target: Remote/TCP     
Hostname: &lt;hostname&#62;     
Port: &lt;port&#62;
</PROGRAMLISTING>

<PARA><!-- <conditionaltext> -->Set other options according to
preference, close the window and select <EMPHASIS>Run-&#62;Connect to
target</EMPHASIS>.</PARA>

</SECT1>

<!-- ==================================================== -->

<SECT1 id="connecting-target-sim">
<TITLE><!-- <index></index> -->Using A Simulator Target</TITLE>

<PARA>GDB connects to all simulator targets using the same basic
command, although each simulator may require additional options.
These are listed in the document describing the target, and should
be used when connecting.</PARA>

<PARA>Connect to the target by issuing the following command in
GDB console mode:</PARA>

<PROGRAMLISTING>
(gdb) target sim [target specific options]
</PROGRAMLISTING>

<PARA>In Insight, connect by opening the <EMPHASIS>File-&#62;Target
Settings</EMPHASIS> window and enter:</PARA>

<PROGRAMLISTING>
Target: Simulator     
Options: [target specific options]
</PROGRAMLISTING>

<PARA>Set other options according to preference, close the window and
select <EMPHASIS>Run-&#62;Connect to target</EMPHASIS>.</PARA>

</SECT1>

<!-- ==================================================== -->

<SECT1 id="connecting-target-synth">
<TITLE>Using A Synthetic Target</TITLE>

<PARA>Synthetic targets are special in that the built tests and
applications actually run as native applications on the host. This
means that there is no target to connect to. The test or application
can be run directly from the GDB console using:</PARA>

<PROGRAMLISTING>
(gdb) run
</PROGRAMLISTING>

<PARA>or from Insight by pressing the <EMPHASIS>Run</EMPHASIS> icon.
There is therefore no need to connect to the target or download the
application, so you should ignore GDB &ldquo;target&rdquo; and
&ldquo;load&rdquo; commands in any instructions found in other places
in the documentation.</PARA>
