2. From the Welcome to LonTalk Interface Developer page of the utility,
click Browse to open the appropriate project file:
• [
MyFTXL ]\FTXL_Simple_0\Simple Example.lidprj
• [ MyFTXL ]\FTXL_DynamicInterface_0\Dynamic Interface
Example.lidprj
where [ MyFTXL ] is the location that you specified for the project
when you created it within the Nios IDE. The subdirectory name is
the same as the project name that you specified when you created the
project.
3. Because you opened an existing project file, you can accept the predefined
values on all of the subsequent pages of the LonTalk Interface Developer
utility by clicking Next on each page.
4. Click Finish on the Build Progress and Summary page to close the
LonTalk Interface Developer utility.
Within the Nios IDE, right-click within the Nios II C/C++ Projects pane and
select Refresh to see the newly generated and copied files for the project. You can
now compile and build the project.
Building the Example Application Image
The examples that are included with the FTXL Developer’s Kit include the
hardware design for the Nios II processor, as well as the software for the FTXL
LonTalk API, and two example applications. You must separately build the
hardware image and the software image.
The example applications define a single configuration, Debug. If you want to
define other configurations (for example, Release) for the example applications,
define them within the Nios IDE as described in
Specifying the Properties for the
Application on page 106.
For more information about the hardware image, see the FTXL Hardware Guide .
Building the Reference Design Hardware Image
The FTXL Developer’s Kit includes a pre-built hardware design image for the
Nios II processor running on the Cyclone II FPGA device on the devboards.de
DBC2C20 development board. To use the pre-built image, see Loading the
Example Application Image into Flash on page 219.
You might need to rebuild the hardware image, for example, if you want to
modify the design, run the Nios II processor on a different device than a Cyclone
II FPGA on the DBC2C20 development board, or if your Altera tools license
requires you to rebuild the image.
See the
FTXL Hardware Guide for information about building the reference
design hardware image.
Building the Example Software Image
To build the software image for either of the example applications that are
included with the FTXL Developer’s Kit:
