On my Cisco 800 router in my home, I am seeing something called the "IOS", I know it is Internetwork Operating System. But in the world of programming is this a language like Python, Ruby, Java, etc? If you wanted to write a script that runs on the router itself, not having another computer open a socket go to the device and running some shell command. Something as simple as broadcast attached devices to my router every 60 minutes. What are we talking here for the actual program that is used to write an IOS?
If you want to write a program that talks to your router, search for a program called expect - it will serve you well. It uses the serial port of the router to do so.
In answer to your basic question, no, you can't write a program that is downloaded to a router that will run on it.

I would like to make my AIR desktop browser be the default web browser on a system, how can I go about and do this ?
I would also like to know how I can retrieve the link that has been clicked (in an email for example) to interact with the application.
thanks !
As far as I'm aware this is impossible in AIR. You can associate your app with file types using the air-app.xml descriptor or by calling NativeApplication.setAsDefaultApplication() (Read about it here). Opening files after using either of these methods will trigger your application to launch with an InvokeEvent (Read Here). You can read a good tutorial for this here.
However, if I understand correctly, you also want your app to take over any HTTP requests from inside any other app. To do this you have to override the protocol default application, which requires a registry edit and (I believe) that AIR can't do that. You may be able to write an external script in C or Java to do that for you (This might help with that).
This question is related to Upload Arduino code on virtual serial port through Arduino IDE. The main problem is being able to upload code onto virtual COM port instead of using Arduino so I could take the binary code output and use it in some other application. The problem with that is that the process of uploading is also related to the bootloader on the Arduino and that's why the upload process never reaches 100%. The suggested solution was either to implement a bootloader in my application or use something that is already out there.
My question now is can I make use of the different programmer modes in the Arduino IDE to sort of by-pass the bootloader so the upload process can reach 100% and the code would actually reach the virtual COM port?
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks
Sounds like your Virtual Serial Port driver is getting stuck on some timeouts or buffers. The IDE calls avrdude with a specific protocol to match with what is built into the Arduino's bootloader, loaded on the AVR. There are other bootloader (in fact many, too many to mention), some of which may have different timing and such, but to use them would basically no longer be Arduino. to see the possibilities .\avrdude.exe -c.
If you are just trying to get a dump of what is going over the Serial port. I have used Virtual Serial Ports Emulator . It is very versatile in that its modular, allowing you to build up what you want.
Also, as mentioned from the other threads about this, note the data over the serial port is formated ontop of the STK500 protocol. You also mention in other thread that you don't want to use another tool to get the data. Whereas in order to use another protocol you would need to change the source compiler.java and rebuild the project as to call avrdude with the new protocol. So you might as well just get it with another tool. see below this will tie back in.
you can get the raw binary, from what is being fed to avrdude. Where as it may not be initially obvious. As avrdude get ELF not BIN. The Arduino IDE contains all of avr-gcc and its tools. Where avr-objcopy located in .\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin can convert the IDE's output that is funneled into avrdude, to the binary you likely desire. No need for scoping the serial port stream.
To do this by hand, You need to locate IDE's temp working directory, by enabling the IDE's verbose compile prints. And also likely put avr-objcopy in your path. then simply call it as in the below example, substituting your sketch's filename, in place of mine.
C:\Users\mflaga\AppData\Local\Temp\build6135656488044319492.tmp>avr-objcopy -I ihex FilePlayer.cpp.hex -O binary FilePlayer.cpp.bin
Where as you could replace avrdude.exe with a batchfile that calls both avrdude and avr-objcopy to automat
I've got an embedded linux and a Telit gprs/gps module ("GM862-GPS" on USB-Port). My current project requires it to be connected via gprs for sending data, while continuously asking the module for the gps position. I'm connected to gprs with a ppp-daemon and chatsripts, but when the connection is established, the module seems to be locked (no reaction on AT-commands through minicom).
I read, that 'AT+CMUX' could be one solution, which is provided by this device, but I don't know how to use it, since the 'CMUX User Guide' by Telit isn't really helpfull (and a program for automatic setup is only provided for windows).
Does anyone know, how to deal with this command, or even knows a better choice to handle this problem ?
My answer might be too late.
You need to use CMUX to create another COM port to talk to it. I played with CMUX once and I understand your frustrations. In my case, it worked for a while and then failed and I couldn't find out why. You might want to post your question at Roundsolutions.
I programmed the module by writing Python scripts and upload to the module. Their Python API provides two channels to send AT commands to the module: MDM and MDM2. I use MDM as the AT command and use MDM2 to create sockets. Initially, you use MDM2 to send AT commands to create a socket connection. Once connected, whatever data sent to it will be interpreted as data stream instead of AT commands. They allow you to send '+++' to switch back to AT command mode.
I'm trying to find a decent standalone webserver that I can load up on a jump drive.
My wife is a photographer, and I'd like to present the clients with their images on usb. When they plug it in, I'd like a web page to load up, and run some jQuery magic to show them a nice carousel of all there images.
So far, this is all fine since it can all be done client side and doesn't need a server at all.
The problem I'm facing is that I'd like some server-side code to be able to read the images out of the directory so that once the interface is built, I don't need to manually create all of the <img /> tags.
If it was primarily going to be used in a Windows environment, I'd have no problem going with IIS Express, since I'm mainly a .NET MVC developer and this would be perfect for me... However, the fact of the matter is that a large amount of our client base is also OS X users.
I did find this Java one jlHttp, and I also found this thread here on SO, but I don't think I understand enough about either one of them to accomplish what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I'm looking for the same thing, and the two best options I've found were Flying Ant cd web server and Stunnix. Of the two, Flying Ant is cheaper, and I've tested it with success on my project.
I found Mongoose very convenient for this exact purpose. It's crossplatform, lightweight and requires minimum configuration. You may be interested in this project that uses Mongoose to display pictures in a folder tree or FTP directory.
How about Node.js
It says it runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows.
I have a U9 Telit modem which, at first, appears as a disk drive on USB bus. Then, the native software after autorun and install, sends a couple of IOCTLs to tell the device to reappear as other things. I can see them in procmon.
I want to better spy on these, to know exactly what they send and how, in order to do the same in proper way.
Try something like Systemtap. Attach a probe that dumps all ioctls and arguments from the kernel, grep through them.
You could use something like strace under linux. The windows equivalent is discussed here Systrace for Windows.
This might show you the ioctl commands sent.
Some companies offer the linux kernels of their devices as direct download from their official webpage. There you might find more information on how it works. For some devices, it's easy to build and deploy your own kernel. This helps as you can add custom debug output.
