C2oooConsole

C2oooConsole is a Development and Test Tool, which presents the user with an interface for the viewing, editing, logging and graphing of variables/calibrations, in real-time, while the target software is executing.

The tool automatically extracts the symbol information from the files generated by the cross-compiler and does not require any definition-files or databases to be created (and maintained).

C2oooConsole communicates with the target over a serial communication link, typically RS-232, RS-422 or CAN. On the target, only a small server called “Remote Agent” must be called periodically in the background task. Since the remote agent runs on spare processor cycles, it does not interfere with the interrupt driven part of the software. This makes the tool ideal for interfacing with control software, where the control tasks must be executed uninterruptedly and with minimal latency. The fact that C2oooConsole does not depend on JTAG for communicating with the target makes the tool operate reliably in environments with strong EMI and/or high-voltage isolation requirements.

C2oooConsole currently supports all MCUs of the C2000 family and the following protocols:

• RA-Link: Proprietary protocol over RS-232 and RS-484
• Unified Diagnostics Services: ISO 14229 over CAN

Support for the CAN Calibration Protocol (CCP) is under development.
