| === Running the Sample Program ===
| |
| Section 10.5 of PDK Reference Manual explains how to run the sample application. It has been reproduced below in brief.
| |
| | |
| ==== 10.5.1 ====
| |
| The rev version installed on the Convey machine is from 2010-8-9; to copy the sample app run:
| |
| cd ~
| |
| mkdir pdk_sample
| |
| cp -r /opt/convey/pdk/2010_08_09/cae_pers_vadd pdk_sample
| |
| cp -r /opt/convey/pdk/2010_08_09/pdk_apps/SampleAppVadd pdk_sample
| |
| | |
| ==== 10.5.2 - 10.5.4 ====
| |
| Make the sample project.
| |
| | |
| cd ~/pdk_sample/cae_pers_vadd/CaeSimPers/
| |
| make
| |
| cd ~/pdk_sample/SampleAppVadd/
| |
| make
| |
| | |
| To run the software version of the app:
| |
| cd ~/pdk_sample/SampleAppVadd/
| |
| ./UserApp.exe
| |
| | |
| You can check to see which Convey environmental variables are set by running: '''env | grep "CNY"'''
