Okika Visual C++ Prototyping Tool Reference Manual
Note: The Visual C++ Prototyping subsystem is used to develop PC-based applications. It is NOT necessary to use the Visual C++ Prototyping subsystem when developing an embedded system application. Prototyping however can allow circuit functionality to be tested in advance of building a complete embedded systems solution.
Introduction
The Okika Visual C++ Prototyping tool is a utility that helps to quickly create PC-based software that utilizes the AnadigmDesigner®2 generated C Code. This enables one to create demonstration software, do initial embedded development prior to hardware availability, and to simply verify the functionality of the C Code. The tool creates an MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) based Windows application that contains all necessary code to communicate with the Okika development board, through both parallel and serial ports. The tool generates standard Okika C Code files, as well as C++ class wrappers that provide an easy interface to the C Code, as well as demonstrating how the C Code API’s may be used.
