Companion CD-ROM: /unsw/projects/ecos directory

The /unsw/projects/ecos directory contains the full source of the eCos real-time embedded operating system, including a port to the DSLMU board.

This port was developed as part of a thesis entitled Remote Access Point for Home Monitoring and Control by Russell Collins in 2003.

Thesis Title

Remote Access Point for Home Monitoring and Control

Thesis Abstract

Many consumer devices now being produced have the ability to be remotely monitored and controlled. This thesis aims to develop a generic platform that can easily be extended to interface with many different kinds of devices for remote monitoring and control via a TCP/IP connection.

The hardware to be used in the development of this platform is an ARM based microcontroller board designed by staff at the University of Manchester in collaboration with staff at the University of New South Wales.

The main task in achieving the aim was the development of the necessary software layers to implement remote monitoring and control. The eCos real-time embedded operating system was used to form a generic base for developing applications to monitor and control specific devices. The majority of the work involved in this project was the development of a port of this operating system to the micro-controller board.

During the development process, several hardware issues were discovered with the micro-controller board’s Ethernet interface and were corrected.

Using the generic platform, an application was developed to allow the reading of an electricity meter with a serial interface via a TCP/IP connection.
