Abstract:
By using gateway systems on large 32-bit platforms, networks of small, 8- and 16-bit
microcontrollers can be monitored and controlled over the Internet. With embedded Linux, these
gateways are easily moved from full-blown host PCs to embedded platforms like the PC104. In
this class you will learn about hardware platforms that support embedded Linux, Linux kernel
configuration, feature selection, installation, booting and tuning.
This a small hack I wrote to bypass the "No previous installation!" error of Microchip s C18 Upgrade.
Simply run C18Fake and select your C18 installation directory (create if necessary) and click Save button. A "fake" file will now be created into that directory, and this will fool the Upgrade into thinking you already have a former legit installation.
After that you run the C18 Upgrade setup and select the same directory you created/selected before.
Your installation will now begin installing the full C18 package.
