Where can I get G3_HostAppliction.exe this software?

Hi Gautam,

Thanks for your help.

But is Zero-config GUI the same as G3_HostAppliction?

I have four versions from several PLC development packages.

Thanks for the link, Igor!

Igor,

Thanks for your help.

But how do I use these packages?

Do I need to import these packages to the PLC kit through the CCS?

Cause I only know there are many code but I don't know how to use them.

Wayne,

when you unpack RAR you can see four folders with HostApplicationEmulator projects for Visual C++. There are G3_HostApplication.exe or HostApplication.exe files into "Release" folders. You can try any, but for your case may be better take executable files with prefix G3.

Igor,

I reading chapter 4 of this file.   http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/tidu237

But I don't know how to do with what you gave to me.

Thanks,

Wayne

Hi Igor

I have run G3_HostApplication.exe and Host_CLI.exe which you gave to me.

But both of them have some problem.

This one is after running G3_HostApplication.exe.

And this one is after running  Host_CLI.exe.

Both of them I can not give the command.

And it seems there are some errors but I don't know how to do with these errors.

Wayne,

I think you need to refer to user's manuals of these applications and you should apply needed arguments of command line when you run these applications. At least "port" can't be 0 at your first screen shot. It should be matched with connection port of your PC and KIT.

I know about user's manuals of these applications.
But I don't know why the com port is 0.
And someone told me I need to load the G3 codes into the controller in advance.
But I don't know what is the G3 codes too.

Hi, Wayne.

Let us in order.

UG (p.37) : "The latest G3 binary should be flashed onto the F28069"

UG (p.3): "The development kit includes the following software:

• G3 PLC Binaries
– G3 PHY and Lower MAC Project Binary Image
• (g3_plc_FF2806x_AFE031.out for F28069)
• (g3_plc_F28M35x.out for F28M35x) " 

Thus you need to use the pre installed original firmware of your KIT. If you have uploaded some custom binary then you should return to original binary. I suspect there is connection problem. Open device manager on your PC and check # of COM-port connected to KIT. This # is argument "Serial Port assignment" when running HostApplication (Table 7, p.4.2 of UG). You can use SCI-B (USB-connection) as well as SCI-A(nul-modem connection) of your KIT.

Hi Igor,

I tried two kinds of binary code which are 

C:\Texas Instruments\G3_SDK_Package_V7_4_1_6\SW\Bin\sysbios_g3_plc_aes_F2806x_AFE031_CRC16_MSB_LOADNG_image.hex   &

C:\Texas Instruments\PRIME_SDK_PackageV8010\SW\bin\v8.0.1.1\prime_iec432_f2806x_image.hex.

They can work in GUI, but I can not understand why they can not connect on  G3_HostApplication.

It still shows unable to open com port.

Wayne,

you are right, I have  the same problem with running g3_HostApplication from 7150 development package. Try hostappemu.exe from 7710 package (refer to folder 7710 of my RAR which has been uploaded before). I have checked this application and one works for me at least.

Regards,

Igor

Hi Igor,

I had try 7710 package.
But the hostappemu.exe just flash a second and close.
It shows different problem from 7150.

it's strange,

did you run hostappemu.exe with CMD.EXE (Start->CMD, and then command line "......\hostappemu.exe" with needed arguments)?

Igor

Hi Igor,

I run what you told me, and it shows

HostAppEmu: Version: 3.10.0.6 - Product Version: 3.10.0.6
ERROR: multiple modes specified.

What is this mean?

What is this mean?

It means you didn't apply argument for selecting mode (P2P or MAC). Pay attention at following screen shot where argument "/?" was applied:

and, for example, now we can select comport 1 (argument "-port 1") and point-to-point mode (P2P - argument "-x"):

no one modem is connected to my PC here and my PC haven't COM1. An application was finished on timeout.

Happy New Year and good luck!

Hi Igor,

Happy New Year.

I had do what you told me.

I gave the command( -p 10 -x), and it showed like this fig.

But it just stop at here.

I could not give any command after this.

And I didn't see where I can read the product id(PID) or change the PID.

It is different from what the guideline says.

Wayne

Wayne,

First, at your screen I see the following: 

Device Type G3

PHY Mode    PRIME

There is something wrong. I suspect your original firmware is "G3". Try other set of arguments:

-p 10 -g n

Honestly I didn't try this application "in detail". Again run it with argument ''/?" and learn all available arguments. Try different sets of arguments. When you will try arguments, pay attention on a version of supported protocol which is provided by original firmware of your KIT. In fact the original firmware provides only one (G3 or PRIME). Verify this thing.

Igor
