Version Differences for OPL9728 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

'''How do I compile my application?'''

:You have to use the [[Toshiba C Compiler]], which you can purchase from Opticon. Versions 1.10 and later run on all Windows OS flavors. After that has been installed (preferably before installing the [[C-Library Kit]], as the installer for the [[C-Library Kit]] prompts you for the root path of your [[Toshiba C Compiler]] installation in order to generate correct path information for build scripts) check out some of the example applications in the OPL folder where you installed the [[C-Library Kit]]. There you'll find build scripts (m.bat or mdemo.bat) that you can use and edit for your application, which you then run from the command prompt to build your application.

'''How do I load my application onto the OPL9728?'''

+

:With Opticon's [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Appload Appload] program. You will need to enter the OS-level system menu on the device (press Up, Trigger, and Down buttons simultaneously), choose the menu option to download an application, and place the device into the cradle. Then connect the cradle to your PC, install the drivers for the cradle through Windows Driver Wizard (if the drivers are not already installed; optionally, you can find the cradle drivers on our [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Cradles/CRDx72x/USBDrivers/Windows/ FTP site]) and launch [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Appload Appload]. Choose the appropriate COM port that your cradle is connected to, and then you can drag the application binary onto the Appload window to begin the install process.

+

'''How do I load a new OS (firmware) onto the OPL9728?'''

+

:Same steps as loading an application; see the FAQ item directly above this one.

+

'''Is there a debugger to debug my application?'''

+

:Unfortunately, no. Debugging is typically done through creating a log file within your application, printing information to the OPL9728's LCD screen, or some other method. Typically, applications are not of the size and complexity that this would be overly problematic.
