I am trying to enable ethernet communication on an Infineon Aurix Tricore, specifically TC29x. To this end I am using the Aurix SW_framework_tools and the ILLD supplied by Infineon on their Aurix workspace page (if you ask for access).
In the ILLD package and demo, they have a ethernet demo with loopback_mode enabled. This demo works fine on the board. I then wanted to send out a package to another machine to enable ethernet communication. I have tried fiddling around with settings, using wireshark with cross-over-cable, wireshark with switch, against windows and linux pc's. With no packages received
I am therefore unsure if the demo has the pinmap configured correctly, and/or if some settings I have missed should be changed. My question is therefore if anyone has enabled ethernet communication using the infineon tools, and can guide me?
Tools
I have chosen the HighTec toolchain using the debuger UDE, all are from the free tools available on Infineon.
Board
Infineon Aurix Tricore TC299 Starter Kit.

I would like to use a windows machine as a USB488/USBTMC device. USB488/USBTMC is a reimplementation of the good old GPIB/IEEE-488 on USB rails. But most articles on the topic refer to a Windows machine as a host/controller. The Windows USB stack is not well suited for USB device/USB OTG modes. However, if you look at some of the high-end gear like oscilloscopes and spectrum/network analyzers, it is well known that they are often Windows machines inside with some additional hardware. So, how it is done?
To some background: it is a project to retrofit a very old SEM microscope with new hardware. The current one is a 68k custom system with a CRT that uses a GPIB interface for comm with a PC. Things like sample spectroscopy are done as a BASIC program running on a pc and communicating through that gpib port. The plan is to replace that 68k junk with a modern day windows pc with an FPGA on a PCIe bus. For compatibility reasons, it would be nice to have a usb488 port in the new PC. Though I have no idea of how to do it properly. The only solution I have so far is to have some cheap USB-capable micro hanging on the SPI bus on the FPGA facing side and a USBTDM class on the USB side. But maybe Im missing something and there is a specific thing or chip that exists that can do it that Im not aware of.
I can only speculate how high-end oscilloscopes achieve it. The most likely option is that they use a dedicated chip like a MAX3420E. It is connected via SPI. Part of the USB protocol is implemented by the chip, part of it will be implemented by the oscilloscope software.
Most USB controllers chips found in PCs can operate as the host only. And even if they could do a role swap, Windows (for Desktop) has not supported device/peripheral mode until recently. It now does. See USB Dual Role Driver Stack Architecture. But I don't fully understand it to tell you what hardware you would need to purchase where this feature is enabled.
Role swapping is very common on smartphones. It is also implemented in Linux (search for "Linux USB gadget"). Many Apple Macs can run in Target Disk Mode, which is a USB device/peripheral mode as well.
I'm developing automated testing for software which needs to eject and reconnect USB devices automatically at the BUS level, not simply software.
This makes a virtual environment optimum because the virtual hardware can be controlled to emulate such behavior. However, I cannot find a way to do this programmatically through VMWare, VirtualBox, or Zen.
Is this kind of functionality implementable? Thank you!
using VSPhere API, it's soap based web service that can do the same thing as you using VSphere client.
there is a interface called: ReconfigVM_Task may be you can use, see ref at:
Vsphere API Reference
For testing purposes I need to power off a USB device from my computer programmatically. The microprocessor in the USB device is ARM Cortex M4.
I have tried using Devcon, although the device was disabled, power was still provided to the device.
I have also tried to disable the USB root hubs ,that also didn't work.
I have read some other posts indicating that a SSR could be used, this option is not desired. I would rather choose the software solution(if there is one of course).
Some other answers have indicated that this is an OS issue, and some others a chip-set architecture issue.
So my question is what options are there available. And also is this purely something dependent on the computer side or do we need to implement something on the USB device side as well.
Thank you in advance.
I am trying to create a system for controlling my home appliances using arduino over internet.
Arduino Uno will act as a web server and recieve the commands from remote browser.
In doing to I am not sure as how to protect arduino from unauthorized requests from web.
Is there a way to do this, or is there any library available for this. Please suggest.
What i suggest you is to do what a lot of people does, so: use a raspberry (or a beaglebone or another linux embedded board) for the web interface and the arduino for the sensors/actuators.
This way you can install a real webserver, with a lot more functionalities than the bare arduino. You can then interface the webpages to the serial port to send the arduino the commands
I have been researching for a couple of days, and i have not found anything I understand about sending direct commands to the NXT via USB. All of the tutorials I have found are based on Bluetooth communication, and the information I have found about USB is always like "Better change to bluetooth", or "Think about it as a COM port"
I had previously sent those commands via Bluetooth, but the connection fails too often to be useful, and is slower than USB.
USB connection is not detected as a COM port, but I know it is posible to control motors and get sensor input with a USB connection, because the LEGO software does so. It has that remote control feature that allows user to activate motors from the PC, and can read sensor input as well.
So, my question is, How can I send and recieve those direct commands via USB? and, Is there any way to do so in Visual Basic 2008?
You can use the MonoBrick Communication Library to do this. See http://www.monobrick.dk/software/monobrick/.
Alternately, you could use the Fantom driver from the official LEGO Software developer kit. http://www.lego.com/en-us/mindstorms/downloads/software/nxt-sdk/
