GenBoard/AdvancedComm (2018-06-06 06:42:52)

Connecting to GenBoard via a 20000 km serial cable - internet

Developers connect to other developer's boxes from time to time. Eg. from Canada to a board running in Hungary 8 timezones away.

Note that for making a base-tuning (eg. for starting an engine for the first time) one does not need such access to the board, because one can just send the config and tables files as on GenBoard/InitialConfig.

There was a GenBoard available on network for some time, to test some comm without real HW.

Anyone who cares can easily plug in a spare VEMS for testing, so turned off (discontinued): telnet cell.dyndns.ws 32001 (or 32000)

and say mcd (or Manmcd if m spits binary data

Please exit telnet after you're done with it so you don't lock the line: only one user per serial port at any time, even though the AVR is multiuser ( another independent user can use his own menu from the PS2KeyBoard). Since speed is set to 9600, you BootLoader must be used in 9600 (but please, avoid it if possible :-).

TODO:

You are encouraged to hook your GenBoard v2 or v3 to network (remove dangerous parts that can heat intensively: WBO2, sparking equipment, fuel lines :-). Easiest way is to connect to the serial port of a linux box and apt-get install ser2net package. Ser2net also available on platforms other than [Debian GNU Linux].
