• first open the JBuilder Project.
• Go to project->properties->required Libraries and make sure you have included a library that points to the TINI 1.02e .jar files. These files are normally located under C:\tini1.02e\bin\tini.jar and C:\tini1.02e\bin\tiniclasses.jar. C:\tini1.02e represents the folder you installed your tini tools to.
• Build the JBuilder project to create the needed .class files.
• Open a command prompt in the LoopBack_and_Handshaking directory.
• Next, type "buildepBlockingRead" in the command prompt to run the buildepBlockingRead.bat batch file.
• Next, type "{deploy My.Tini.Address} MultithreadBlockingRead" to ftp the completed build to TINI.
• Take a DTE and DCE systronix dongle and connect them together. DTE dongles are the male connections and DCE are the female connections.
• Plug a dongle into each of serialA and serialB of SimmSerial.
• Finally, log into your Tini using Telnet and type "java MultithreadBlockingRead.tini &" into the Tini Slush terminal.
• You should see the green Uart activity leds start to flash at the top of the SimmSerial module. The test only prints out error messages when there are serial transmission problems and runs for some time, so feel free to unplug the dongles at some point to see a report of how much serial data has been transfered between the two serial ports. The report will print out in the Telnet terminal.
• To see the serial handshaking test in action, probe the handshaking lines on the back of a dongle with an occilloscope probe.
• You should see two lines rapidly switching between -3to-8 volts and +3to+8 volts. These are RS-232 compatable voltage levels.
• Four pins should switch voltage at a much slower rate. These are the handshaking pins between the serial ports. If any of these pins short out, or stop switching, the serial program will stop and print out a data report.
• Three pins will have constant voltage levels. These pins are signal ground, Ring Indicator and Received line signal detect.
  Ring Indicator and Received line signal detect are inputs on both DCE and DTE type serial connections and are not driven.

To build and run HandshakingEvents:

• first open the JBuilder Project.
• Go to project->properties->required Libraries and make sure you have included a library that points to the TINI 1.02e .jar files.

• Then build the JBuilder project to create the needed .class files.
• Open a command prompt in the LoopBack_and_Handshaking directory.
• Next, type "buildepHandshakingEvents" in the command prompt to run the buildepHandshakingEvents.bat batch file.
• Next, type "deploy My.Tini.Address HandshakingEvents" to ftp the completed build to TINI.
• Take a DTE and DCE systronix dongle and connect them together. DTE dongles are the male connections and DCE are the female connections.
• Plug a dongle into each of serialA and serialB of SimmSerial.
• Finally, log into your Tini using Telnet and type "java HandShakingEvents.tini &" into the Tini Slush terminal.

Irda Demo Program Instructions

Basically all the IrDA code was written by Jac Kersing and posted to SourceForge. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9614 Very few modifications were needed to work with SimmSerial.
To run the demo IrDA program, you will need a Palm Pilot capable of running this Palm program:
TiniTemp program, using Irda to read a one wire device on Tini
This program is less than completely reliable, but it does demonstrate that it is possible to use tini to connect to Palm devices using IrDA.
When you press the "get Temp" button on the Palm, several lines of text will be printed out to the telnet terminal, indicating that Tini is reading the incoming Irda frames. Also, TINI does successfully discover the palm as an IrDA device when it runs scans and prints out information sent by the palm.

To build this program:

• Open Irda/IRDA_General.jpr
• Go to project->properties->required Libraries and make sure you have included a library that points to the TINI 1.02e .jar files. These files are normally located under C:\tini1.02e\bin\tini.jar and C:\tini1.02e\bin\tiniclasses.jar. C:\tini1.02e represents the folder you installed your tini tools to.
• Build the general Irda project to create all the neccesary library .class files.
• Next, open a command prompt in the Irda/tini directory.
• Type "buildep" at the command prompt to build the TiniTemp.tini file to be used in Tini.
• Type "deploy My.Tini.Address TiniTemp" to ftp TiniTemp.tini to your tini.
• Plug in an Irda Dongle to the Irda port on SimmSerial and point it toward your palm.
• Open Tini-Temp on your palm.
• Finally, log into your tini and type "java TiniTemp.tini SimmSerial &" in the slush command promt and wait for messages from the Palm OS program.
• When you press the "Get Temp" button on the Palm program, you should see several lines of text print out to the Telnet window.

More IrDA updates will likely be developed in coming months to make it easier and more convienient to use IrDA in your applications. Look for information both at www.systronix.com and http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9614

Javadoc batch file details:

The javadoc batch file is located in docs.bat run this batch file to rebuild all the javadocs for this project located in the doc directory. This batch file contains some interesting options including

• -Sourcepath option
  The sourcepath option includes this section of code: "-sourcepath Loopback_and_Handshaking\src;SerialEchoBR\src;SerialEchoEvent\src;Irda\src;Irda\tini\src;Irda\tini\demo\TiniTemp"
  The sourcepath option works much like the classpath option, it is a semicolon separated list of places for javadoc to look for source code. You must use this option to specify where your packages are located. This is how I run javadoc on several packages at once.
• -private option
  Runs javadoc on all private members of a class and private classes. It is useful for explaining implementation details of classes.
• -d option
  Specifies the output directory of javadoc. In this case, "doc"
• single class file javadocs
  Javadoc is run on the following single class files not put into packages: SerialEchoEvent\src\SerialEchoEvent.java, SerialEchoBR\src\SerialEchoBlockRead.java, Irda\tini\demo\TiniTemp\TiniTemp.java, and Irda\tini\demo\TiniTemp\GetTemp.java. You can also run javadoc on individual class files in packages, but you will get an empty package-list file and will have difficulty linking future code to your new javadocs later.
• package at a time javadocs
  The following packages are examined simultaneously: nl.tbdev.IR and com.systronix.TINI_Serial This is how the three frame package list version of javadocs are generated. You can also use the -link option later to link future javadoc builds to this javadoc version. Read the attached package-list file to see a list of packages that can be linked to.

We hope you enjoy working with SimmSerial and find it useful in supporting your UART needs for TINI.
