Getting Started In Embedded

Hi Genius,
I'm a new bee for embedded application development. I want to develop the platform independent mobile application which can talk to server(like web service in web application). Can you tell me what i have to do? which language i have to use? is there any fundamental or getting started step by step manual?
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
P.Ponkarthik

I need more info from the stack trace to take a wack at this. Also, what is the current emulation setting for the Blackberry Browser? Is set to the default or Mobile IE? Also, is the ADF Device Repository library loaded in your current project?
Regards,
Ric

Embedding video in a gui (getting started advice)

I have a project with a swing gui that i would like to embed a video screen in. the video will stream from a web camera and provide a live picture. I am new to the idea of handling video streams so have i come to the right place? what should i look at to get started?

Dear andreyvk ,
I've read your post about how to use a single RTP session for both media reception and trasmission (I'm referring to you RTPSocketAdapter modified version), but, at the moment, I'receive a BIND error.
I think that your post is an EXCELLENT solution. I'modified AVReceive3 and AVTransmit3 in order to accept all parameters (Local IP & Port, Remote IP & Port).
Can you please give me a simple scenario so I can understand what the mistake?
I'use AVTransmit3 and AVReceive3 from different prompts and if I run these 2 classes contemporarely both in 2 different PC (172.17.32.27 and 172.17.32.30) I can transmit the media (vfw://0 for example) using AVTransmit3 but I'can't receive nothing if I run also AVReceive3 in the same PC?
What's the problem? Furthermore, If I run first AVReceive3 from a MSDOS Prompt and subsequently I run AVTransmit3 from another prompt I see a BIND error (port already in use).
How can I use your modified RTPSocketAdapter in order to send and receive a single media from the same port (e.g. 7500).
I've used this scenario PC1: IP 172.17.32.30 Local Port 5000 and PC2:IP 172.17.32.27 LocalPort 10000
So in the PC1 I run:
AVTransmit3 vfw://0 <Local IP 172.17.32.30> <5000> <Remote IP 172.17.32.27> <10000>
AVReceive3 <Local IP 172.17.32.30/5000> <Remote IP 172.17.32.27/10000>
and in PC2:
AVTransmit3 vfw://0 <Local IP 172.17.32.27> <10000> <Remote IP 172.17.32.30> <5000>
AVReceive3 <Local IP 172.17.32.27/10000> <Remote IP 172.17.32.30/5000>
I'd like to use the same port 5000 (in PC1) and 10000 (in PC2) in order to transmit and receive rtp packets. How can i do that without receive a Bind Error? How can I receive packets (and playing these media if audio &/or video) from the same port used to send stream over the network?
How can I obtain a RTP Symmetric Transmission/Reception solution?
Please give me an hint. If you can't post this is my email: [email protected]

Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch.
Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
More details below.
Thanks,
Fab
Here is a video showing the steps I followed
If you don't want/can't see the video. Here are some screenshots of what I have done so far:
GratestCommonDivisor.lvproj C Generation build specs Information:
C Function prototype definition:
I copied Makefile located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CGenerator\Tutorial\Cygwin
and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"
Then to run it I just type
I see a window open and close really quickly and I never see the result. I have tried adding the getchar() line to the main.c file, but still I don't get to see the results.

Hi Kevin,
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.
Thanks,

General problem : how to get start "grid computing"?

hi all,
please read this and giud me kindly.
i m university student and my final year project title is "new middleware models such as "grid services on p2p". this tittle was proposed by our acadamic staff and then i must go through this. now i have the idea what is grid computing and what are the techologies to be used with it. but i have no idea from ware i should get start on this.
so i will briefly explane u what is my project goal. my project goal is to give a solution to communicate several systems by upping webservices which are running seperatly on seperate servers by several technologies.
To do this i want to apply "grid computing on peer to peer architecture".
so plz guid me is this possible to do with grid computing andif is not tell how can i do this( to embeded several systems upping web services ).
also guid me how to get star to get best practice of grid computing?
thnaks ,

Getting started, sort of

A couple of weeks ago I got my Mindstorm NXT and immediately installed the UI so I could play around with things and become familiar with the interface. I can tell this will be a lot of fun. I have heard you can go right to the firmware level and start programming the device at a less abstract level, and that is what I am interested in doing. I found the link for the Labview toolkit for lego mindstorm over at the NI website, downloaded and tried to install, but the install immediately balks with the following message:
LabVIEW 7.1 or greater must be installed prior to installing the LabVIEW Toolkint for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT.
I assumed this meant I should uninstall all the stuff that came on the Mindstorm CD (and all the updated installs I downloaded from the Lego website). So I did that, then tried installing the LabView toolkit again; but I get the same message.
I'm already familiar with the ARM7 in the form of the ST-2051 microcontroller from ST-Micro, so I'm not a complete stranger to ARM and thumb instructions and writing embedded firmware. I've also worked with a couple of different ST-Micro toolchains, and the Cosmic toolchain, Rowley's toolchain, and embedded linux, so I'm at least vaguely familiar with the trouble I'm looking to get into by wanting to get right into the firmware level and do my development in C or C++ . On the other hand, I'm an absolute beginner with this toolchain and can't get past the installer, so I know I need to raise my hand and ask for help! I did write this up and send it to the NI support page, but I never heard back.
So how do I install this thing? Is there maybe a FAQ or other document for getting the toolchain installed?
Many thanks!

Hi zzaappp,
The NXT Toolkit was not designed to work with the software that came with your MINDSTORMS NXT. Instead, the toolkit is for users of LabVIEW, probably NI's most popular product. While the MINDSTORMS software and LabVIEW have many similarities, you'll need to obtain a version of LabVIEW to use the toolkit. A good place to get started on that is this page on our website: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4435.
I'm going to venture a guess, though, and assume that you're probably not very familiar with writing code in LabVIEW. If you're more comfortable writing code in C or C++, you may be more interested in the Fantom SDK. Fantom is the device driver used to communicate with the NXT, and our developers have published an SDK that will allow you to use the Fantom library in your own C/C++ code. This is how many other software developers have written their own programs to communicate with the NXT. The Fantom SDK is available from LEGO's NXT'reme website: http://mindstorms.lego.com/Overview/NXTreme.aspx. You'll want to download the Driver SDK and the Bluetooth DK.
Hope this helps you get started! Let us know if you have more questions along the way.

Can I hire someone to help me get started creating a javascript to manage my PDF files?

I have written quite a few programs in VBA and C+. Although I have not programmed at all in Java, it seems very close to C. I simply do not know what programming/debug tool to use and how to get started.

OK, Thank you very much for taking the time to look more closely at what I need to do. Here is a pretty detailed description of what I need and again thank you for your consideration:
Job Packages or “Work specifications” are received from our authority in 15-50 page PDF files. The work specifications typically have 4 to 10 different jobs in each PDF file. Each job is several pages or more and is uniquely identified by a work number which is located on the top right corner of each page in the job. All the pages that belong to a specific job can be identified by the associated work number.
Scope of what is needed:
1. Each individual job in the Job package must be extracted (Based on its work number) and saved in a unique folder (which will already exist) with a unique name that matches the folder name.
2. Each job extracted must be printed on a specific printer or emailed to an out of office recipient. Whether the extracted file is printed or emailed is based on the parent file the extracted file came from. In other words, I intend to run this app on several PDF files. As an example, these 4 files to start:
Job Package Report – Hampton-Wmsbg – Email all files extracted to……
Job Package Report - Norfolk-VA Bch, Daily – Print all files extracted to printer IP:....
Job Package Report - Chesapeake-Chuckatuck Daily – Print all files extracted
Job Package Report - North Carolina – Email all files extracted to printer IP:...
3. On each page, where the work number appears, ( Unless the work number is marked…as existing) the work number needs to be replaced by a unique number, using a Arial black number 10 font. This number will be available in the same lookup table where all work numbers are found. An example lookup table would be:
Work # to find
Work # to replace
7639509
CG143668_2807639509
7639191
CG143669_2507639191
7639189
CG143670_2207639189
7638341
CG143671_2107638341
7635491
CG143672_2807635491
7632212
JOB ALREADY EXISTS
If the work number is marked as existing, as in job 7632212 in the table above, do not search and replace work numbers, simply go to step 4.
4. In the Header or centered in the top of each page, using Arial Black number 16 font, the same unique “Work # to replace” number needs to be printed. If that work number is marked already exists; in the Header using the same font Print “JOB ALREADY EXISTS.”
5 If a work number is not found in the work specification, the work number not found must be identified and listed in a table.
6 Likewise, any pages that have not been identified in the work specification, after the work number list has been gone through once, and all associated pages extracted, must be extracted and given a name “ pages not found” and stored in a directory called “jobs not found”.
Approach
Of course many approaches to accomplishing this are available and up to the programmer the best to perform. Additionally, it is probable many steps can be combined. For example, when searching for the work number to extract pages, the new work number can be replaced at the same time.
The end goal is to have a VBA program, embedded in an Excel file, call a Java script to open the Job Package file. The PDF file name does not change and the file will always be located in a specific directory.

How to post a XCelsius in the BPC Web Application Getting Started page

Hi Experts,
I'm new using BPC 7.5 on NetWeaver. When opening the Getting Started tab in the BPC Web Application there is a white page that I would want to fill with content. This content should be a XCelsius Dashboard linked to the Query or InfoCube on which I`m planning. Creating the XCelsius Dashboard is not the problem, but to insert it in the Getting Started panel of the BPC Web application. Has anyone an idea how to do it or how to proceed. Ideas or a little how-to would be perfect.
Thanks very much in advanced,
Àlex

Hi.
Try this...
const string LIST_PAR_NAME = "lu";
string listName = string.Empty;
if (this.Request.Params.AllKeys.Contains(LIST_PAR_NAME))
listName = this.Request.Params[LIST_PAR_NAME];
else
throw new ArgumentException("Par lu is not present.");
SPList listExport = web.Lists[listName];
However take a look at this
http://zsvipullo.blogspot.it/2013/10/get-splist-from-internal-name.html?q=getlist
to check how GetList method is faster than web.Lists[].

With Open ESB CD in hand, how do I get started?

I spent time at the Open ESB booth at JavaOne 2007 talking with the Sun representatives and engineers about Open ESB.
I'm glad I did, but I'm having a heck of a time getting started.
I have all of the requirements set-up running on Solaris 10 development server.
I've used the Service Oriented Architectures using BPEL from Java BluePrints, which really helped, but I feel I don't know enough yet to apply it towards real world projects yet.
What other resources are recommened to learn more about SOA, BPEL on the JBI Framework?
Thanks,
--Todd

Pinstriped_Dude: That's a very good point which I totally overlooked, thanks.
I've been tasked to learn (not really tasked - I'm always happy to learn) about ESB, SOA and JBI - so far I'm taking baby steps and making progress.
Thanks again,

i just updated pages to 2.0 on ipad 2 retina (ios 7.0.2) and now i cannot open pages, it will not get past the "getting started" screen
has anyone else experienced something similar?

Had the same problem. This sovled it for me:
Just let it load.
In Keynote, I didn't have so many documents, so the freeze didn't take too long- that's how I noticed it's just a freeze while loading.
For pages it took much longer. You can also turn off iCloud in settings for Pages, Keynote, etc. open it, re-enable iCloud in settings app again and quick switch back to pages (double-click home button). It will freeze up again, but after a while after all documents have been pulled from iCloud, it will be back to normal.

When trying to work with Agilent 34401A multimeter (serial RS-232 connection), HP34401A Getting Started.vi gives always the message: "Error 1073807369 occurred at Old VISA Open ".

Baud rate and parity are set correctly, RS-232 cable is also connected correctly. My QuickBasic program has no problems to read and write to the Multimeter. It is obviously a software problem: the same error is persistent if I disconnect RS-232 cable.
I downloaded NI-VISA 2.6 for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP frorm digital.ni.com and installed it. But it did not help.
Thank you in advance

Hi Steve
I have problems with the 34401A and serial communication. Do you remember
where the error was in the code ?
Thanks

Cannot connect to GET STARTED page

Hello,
First off, I am sorry, I did a search and saw numerous posts on this issue, but about all of them either ended their replies after a user asked "Did you do this or that ?" or they just stopped posting... at most I saw some topics where it magically worked later on, but no real step-by-step instructions.
So, the problem: I installed XE 11g, no apparent problems during install (no warnings so I assume everything is OK), tried the GET STARTED link, but it said it can't connect.

AUD: OS Error = 1717 encountered while writing audit recordFrom what I could gather from other posts here (and on other sites) the problem is I don't have anything listening on 8080. Other than that, all seems OK (I think).
So, can anyone tell me\help me on why that one isn't starting ? I reinstalled this 6 times and still can't figure out the problem... (as you saw, I even replaced the tns hostname with 127.0.0.1 out of paranoia). It's seriously driving me mad. Every topic I searched for (from the problem itself to even a step-by-step for dummies) shows an install, then the interface working... I see some questions regarding "I can't connect to..." but most are unanswered :(
Thanks in advance!
P.S. let me know if I forgot to mention anything relevant

jgarry: I believe what you explained may be related to the fact some reported the DB doesn't work properly when the event log is full (I just emptied mine so it doesn't apply). Normally I disable it but without it started, the DB is not working properly (not that I can get it started anyway).
There was a post on a site I found hinting at 3 things:
1. ORACLE_HOME must be defined as an env-var
2. ORACLE_SID must be defined as an env-var
3. there might be a problem with spfile
Regarding those:
1. shouldn't the setup declare it automatically ? I don't have it declared, but I added it (no change)As Orafad pointed out, Windows is different. It does have a search hierarchy it follows to figure out what the environment should be. So first, unset what you set and go into a cmd window and:
sqlplus sys as sysdba
Edit: Oops, I meant
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
2. same as above, except I am not sure what SID to add so I didn't declare it ... The only 2 I have are PLSExtProc and CLRExtProc in tnsnames by default. I tried with each but the only thing that changes is instead of getting the shared memory realm error I get a TNS adapter error... trading one error for another is not funFor XE, the ORACLE_SID is XE (unless you do screwy things to change it). So now that I see you had some other db installed before, I suspect an environment collision. Delve into your registry and see what oracle definitions you have - this is a lot of work, things are spread around some, but searching for oracle is usually a good start. I'm not up on the 11.2 details (or others, really, I just have vague memories of seeing MOS notes that purported to explain clean up entirely, without truly doing so, and I avoid Windows as much as possible). I would uninstall XE, uninstall the other one, then search the registry for any leftover stuff, then install XE and see if it all magically works. But that is a fairly brain-dead way to deal with it.
So that said, you can set up a little batch file to set your environment in a cmd window (specifically ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID), and go into sqlplus / as sysdba and give the startup command. If you get the memory realm error, you have one of those wrong, if you get the tnsnames errors you can fix those following the advice in Ed Steven's blog. You can run tnsping to see which tnsnames.ora you are using, if you use one (which is determined by an @ sign in your connection string, which you should not need to connect locally, but if you do, you need to have XE defined in the tnsnames.ora, and may need to set TNS_ADMIN to get the right one).
Your tnsnames.ora should have an entry like this:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Yourcomputer.yourdomian.whatever)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)You might want to search for any tnsname.ora on your computer, the default correct one would be: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
3. I don't have that file in the folder but I suspect it might be created on a first successful launch of the DBWithout an spfile you need to use a pfile, then create a pfile from spfile. But there should be one at C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEXE.ORA (if you used default installation).
>
Other than that I didn't find anything helpful in logs (or don't know where else to look), nor on sites.
I did have WAMP installed at a point (uninstalled it) but if it were to conflict I guess SETUP would tell me (since the XE license doesn't let you use 2 DBs at the same time)Is that some mysql thing? That shouldn't interfere. It's only installing multiple Oracle products related some what to the Oracle database that can be a problem, and normally isn't with the more recent stuff.
I swear to god this is killing my neurons :(When you find the solution, you will slap your forehead.

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.
