SignalWAVe interface problem

Problem: Cannot connect / communicate from Host PC to SignalWAVe DSP/FPGA board through Ethernet port.

Solution:
1) Check subnet mask to be match between both port.
in my case, the subnet in the board was set to 255.255.0.0
i set the subnet for PC as 255.255.255.0 (standard setting)

how to check what is the IP and subnet mask for the board?
i) open SMShell (Application/Program/Lyrtech/SMShell)
ii) make a connection using parallel port from PC to the board.
iii) type smdetect and enter
iv) type ip 
this command will list down the current ip address for the board

iv) type submask
this will list down the current subnet address

2) Ethernet port IP address for host PC should be set to a higher number than the rest of boards IP address.
e.g. the board IP address 195.168.0.20
PC IP address should be at least 195.168.0.21




since the boards can be connected in 2 ways, 1 using ethernet and another is using the parallel (rs232).
while troubleshooting the communication problem using ethernet i tried to run a program using parallel port. my goodness... since the baud rate is 9600 only.. the program was sooooooo slow.. and hanged.
thats why been trying my best to troubleshoot it.
the supplier advice me to disable firewall in an attempt to eliminate cause of problem.
today is my 2nd day troubleshooting..alhamdulillah... finally manage to solve it.
now need to move to programming part.
i just realise that we were only taught halfway on using the board. up to hardware co-simulation. nothing on transferring the program into the dsp or fpga.
now need to do some more reading.

What a day...

huh.. tadi on the way nak ke Giant, Gombak..untuk membeli beras nasi impit. preparation utk jamuan next week. yours truly ngan kak noni in charge nasi impit, kuah kacang n roti jala...

baru jee kluar dari campus.. lepas tol gombak.. ketung ketang bunyi nya
masa tu kami ni dah musykil... o' o.. apakah itu
drive je lagi..laju plak tu ...60km/jam
pehtu ada driver kancil hon hon.. yg lady cakap bla2 something..tak dengar la dia cakap apa. tapi since dia org horn horn..for sure something important. dah la tadi bunyi ketung ketang tetiba.
brenti terus tepi jalan.. isk.. jalan tu dah ler smua kreta laju.. depan lam 500m ada exit ke Greenwood. kira kat lane tepi memang bas n kenderaan besar lalu woooooooooh. kecut perut.

kluar2..nampak la tayar belakang alek kanan (dirver) sudah pancit. huhuhuhuhuuhu.
relak..relak. bukak bonet.. humban2 barang2 ke seat belakang.. cari tayar spare nak cek ada ke tak tayar spare...hehehe..teruk betul perangai. alhamdulillah.. ada tayarnya.. angin je dah kurang.
amik bende alah yg nak jack kreta. kak noni trus tanya..
'dah penah tukar tayar ke?'
'err...tak penah'
hihihi...konfiden je nak tukar tayar sendiri.
memikirkan tuan ni pakai kebaya labuh..kain belah pulak tuh...kenseeeeeeeeeeeel.

call no. talian pertolongan insuran kreta. baru je lepas renew insuran. cik abang tukar plak tu insuran company..dari Kurnia dia tukar ke Tokio Moda (something like that laaaaaa)..(pembetulan.. TOKIO MARINE).. call2 nombor...takde org angkat.. hampeh.
balik kang memang nak kena bazooka la cik abang ni..muahahahhaha.

call anak buah kat opis mintak datang tolong tukar tayar.
dia pon on the way.
letak je talipon. ada kreta putih brenti..
pomen kreta rupanya.. dia tanya mau tukar tayar ke..
ON je la terus. tak kosa la eh.
tup tap tup tap .. dia isikan angin tayar spare yg memang kurang anign tuh..dah setel baru tanya rega.. ahah...teruk la aku ni patut masa awal2 tanya dulu rega... kini aku pasraaaaaaaaaaaaah...
RM20..

pehtu drive ke worksop kat Greenwood. something fishy laaaaaaaaa... penuh keta wooooooooooo kat workshop tuuuh. tgh2 hari...banyak pulak kreta pancit.
ada satu kreta tuh ..siap ada screwdriver lam tayar.. baru plak tuh menatang tuh..berkilat lagi..verry fishy!

org worksop kata takbleh tampal itu tayar..melayang lagi rm125..

cabaran hari ini

whats in my mind right now?

kejap lagi ada jamuan hari raya ni kat opis.. nak pegi ke tak..nak pegi ke tak
sure ramai orang. cam bosan la plak nak berebut2 makanan tu.

semalam...
tolong 2 student ni setup TI Digital Media Development Board. dia org nak tengok macam mana camera NTSC tu function. pup pap pup pap setup...sib baik ler jadik. almaklumla.. last time pakai bulan 7 2008. tu pun masa training.
skang ni... nak kena tolong dia org.. carik apa line code yg nak kena include dalam programming. tolong je la selagi boleh. siap cakap lagi kat student tu..
'Eh..if i able to help u with this..i'm entitle for phd as well laaaa :P'
dia gelak je.. keh keh keh

dah abis yg tu..terus pegi ke sorang lagi student.. dia org ni pakai board lain pulak..
dari hari tu lagi dia org dok tanya n complaint yg dia org try run realtime program tapi board tu cam tak respond. alahai..satu lagi godek2 an kena buat.. minggu depan nak kena setel gak nih. sebab dia org ada lam 2 minggu je lagi nak kena siapkan project tu. kesian la pulak.
tambah haru biru.. maso training aku blajar pakai simulink block. yg dia org plak program pakai Xilinx blockset. aiyo.. boring gila blockset xilinx tu..tak menarik langsung.
tu pun nak kena tanya consultant nih..bleh je ke guna setting yg sama masa setting guna simulink blockset.. rasa cam boleh je.

fuuuuhhhh... tu baru 2 jenis DSP board. ado satu lagi.(yg ke 3 la ni)..err...yg tu sangkut kejap... lagi tak best yg satu lagi sebab tak bleh buat through MATLAB.

pastu satu lagi (yg ke 4)... yg ni langsung tak attend training. memana student nak pakai board yg ni... pepandai korang laaa baca user manual dia.. hek hek hek.. sebenarnya lega sket..sebab tak gi training..bleh buat excuse...
buruk tol prangai.

2 board ni je la dok berlegar lam kepala skang. time drive..time makan..sib baik tak masuk lam mimpi.

isk..baru tolong2... kalo sambung master or phd..tak dapat ku bayangkan...
