1. Using Build A Step-by-Step Guide

2. Remote Connect to Build
Start  Programs  Accessories  Communications  Remote Desktop Connection
Login using your group account

3. Using Cygwin To use Cygwin, you must first SSH into Build (from build)
Minimize this window

4. Open Cygwin
Open 2 instances of Cygwin

5. Enter the cs535_test directory
cd cs535_test/
This folder contains 2 pre-compiled programs
recv_it
send_it
These are the programs used by the Build server test application

6. Load the test Bitfile In the CS535 Server Arbitrator
Load the pthru_final bitfile
This must be typed exactly as shown
Omit the .bit extension
To test your own files, you must load your bitfile to the CS535 Test Server on fpx2

7. Request the Server Click the Request Server button
The Build server will now be programmed with the specified bitfile
You will have 3 minutes to perform the following tests

8. Step 1: Setting up the Receive Application
In one of your opened Cygwin windows, start the recv_it.exe file
Do this by typing
./recv_it.exe –s 3000
This specifies that the application is listening on port 3000

9. Step 2: Sending sample data
In the other opened Cygwin window, start the send_it.exe file
Do this by typing
./send_it.exe –h –p 3000
This will send a simple UDP packet to the FPX
The application will send on port 3000
You will be prompted to enter some text
Enter some

10. Step 2 continued

11. Step 3: Check that a packet returned
If the Cygwin window that was listening on port 3000 received the string, the hardware is working properly.

12. How to use your software
Your software needs to send to Address
Any port can be used
Your hardware for alert messages needs to be sent to
Your hardware can send to any port (in the application range)
Your software will need to listen to this port
