Initial Setup

VM Labs SDK Internal Release 0.86.2
June 14
, 2001


These instructions will guide you through the initial set up of your PC and development system.

Third Party Software

You must also install any required third party applications, as described in the Third Party Apps documentation.

Environment variables

There are two important environment variables that must be defined; VMLABS and MD_PORT.

The VMLABS environment variable

The VMLABS variable should be set to the directory where you unpacked the SDK (or if you are mounting the SDK from the network, the network drive or NFS mount point for the SDK). For example, for a Windows you would add the following line to autoexec.bat

set VMLABS=C:\vmlabs

if you had installed the SDK in the C:\vmlabs directory. Under Linux, using bash you would add the following line to your .bashrc file

export VMLABS=/usr/local/vmlabs

if you had installed the SDK in /usr/local/vmlabs (other shells may vary somewhat in syntax).

Additionally, you will want to add VMLABS to your environment's PATH variable. For Windows, add

set PATH="%PATH%";"%VMLABS%\bin";"%VMLABS%\bin\windows"

to autoexec.bat.

For Linux, using bash you would add

export PATH=$PATH:$VMLABS/bin:$VMLABS/bin/linux

to your .bashrc file (other shells may vary somewhat in syntax).

The MD_PORT environment variable

The MD_PORT variable should be set to the IP address of your NUON development system. If you do not already have an address that you can assign to the system (or one has not already been assigned for you), you should obtain one from your system administrator or ISP. This address should be on the same subnet as your PC.

For Windows systems, add the line

set MD_PORT=ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4

to your autoexec.bat file. ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4 is the IP address of your development system.

Under Linux, using bash, add the line

export MD_PORT=ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4

to your .bashrc file (other shells may vary somewhat in syntax). ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4 is the IP address of your development system.

Note that if you have forgotten your development system's IP address, you can determine it either from the boot app or by resetting the development system and checking the first lines of the hyperterminal output.

Update the Debug Stub of your NUON development system

See the Debug Stub Documentation.

Update your Flash ROM of your NUON development system
