Companion CD-ROM: board/software directory

The board/software directory contains source code that either runs on the actual DSLMU Microcontroller Board or directly communicates with it. The software that runs on the Board is also known as “on-board”, “back-end” or “systems-level”.

The software that communicates with the DSLMU Microcontroller Board is called the Komodo debugger, also known as the Komodo “front-end

The Komodo debugger is used in the Digital Systems Laboratory to communicate with the DSLMU Microcontroller Board and to debug your programs being run on that board in Digital Systems Laboratory. You can use the Komodo debugger outside the Laboratory, only, in its simulation mode.

The Komodo Tools is ported to x86 Linux, Windows (under Cygwin), MacOS X and Sparc Solaris operating systems. You will only need to install the precompiled binaries for Linux platform and the precompiled binaries for Windows (under Cygwin) platform. You can install the Komodo Tool on the other supported platforms by recompiling the source code.

You should consult the [PDF] An Introduction to Komodo document before using the Komodo debugger.

Please note that the Komodo Tool is not supported for use outside the Digital Systems Laboratory!
